his <846> [his.]
Job 30:10

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?
Matthew 26:67
they spat <1716> [did.]

[Kolaphizo <\\See definition 2852\\>,] "smote him with their fists," as Theophylact interprets.
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.]
