Word of the Day - 5/8/2008

Lapidate

To lapidate is to pelt with stones; to stone to death.

Jesus prevented a mob from lapidating a known adulterer. (John 8:1-11) He reminded the mob of their own imperfection - "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." (John 8:7, NASB)
