Deuteronomy 25:9
sandal <05275 02502> [loose his shoe.]
Pulling off the shoe seems to express his being degraded to the situation of slaves, who generally went barefoot; and spitting in or rather before, (biphney) his face, was a mark of the utmost ignominy.
spit <03417> [spit.]
done <06213> [So shall.]
Job 30:10
detest me ..... distance <08581 07368> [abhor me.]
me ..... distance <07368> [flee far.]
hesitate ... spit .... face <07536 06440 02820> [spare not to spit in my face. Heb. withhold not spittle from my face.]
Isaiah 50:6
offered <05414> [gave.]
jaws <03895> [my cheeks.]
The eastern people always held the beard in great veneration; and to pluck a man's beard is one of the grossest indignities that can be offered. D'Arvieux gives a remarkable instance of an Arab, who, having received a wound in his jaw, chose to hazard his life rather than suffer the surgeon to cut off his beard. See Note on 2 Sa 10:4.
out ... beard <04803> [that plucked.]
hide <05641> [I hid.]
Another instance of the utmost contempt and detestation. Throughout the East it is highly offensive to spit in any one's presence; and if this is such an indignity, how much more spitting in the face?

they spat <1716> [did.]
his ....... their fists <2852 846> [buffeted him.]

and ....... And ... slapped <2532 1161 4474> [and others.]
slapped <4474> [smote him.]
[Rhapizo <\\See definition 4474\\>,] "smote him on the cheek with the open hand," as Suidas renders. They offered him every indignity, in all its various and vexatious forms.
slapped <4474> [the palms of their hands. or, rods.]
