סָקַל to stone, to overwhelm with stones, a species of capital punishment amongst the Hebrews, see on this subject the decisions of the Rabbins in Chr. B. Michaëlis Dissert. de Judiciis Pœnisque Capitalibus, § 5, in Pottii Syll. iv. p. 185. (I can hardly consider the signification of stoning as primary, especially as its power in Piel is also that of removing stones. The primary idea appears to lie in the root שָׁקַל, ثَقُلَ to be heavy, weighty, whence an unused noun סֶקֶל, a stone so called from being heavy, and hence a denom. verb סָקַל to stone, Pi. id. and also to remove stones). Const. followed by an acc. of pers. Exodus 19:13, 21:28 often with the addition of the word בָּאֲבָנִים Deuteronomy 13:11, 17:5 22:24 compare syn. רָגַם.
