It is a staff or rod that signifies the right to rule and is frequently mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/genesis/49-10.htm">Genesis 49:10</a></b>: The sceptre is first mentioned in the blessing of Jacob over his sons, specifically in the prophecy concerning Judah: "The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples." . This verse is significant as it foretells the enduring leadership and royal lineage of the tribe of Judah, culminating in the coming of the Messiah, often interpreted as a reference to Jesus Christ.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/numbers/24-17.htm">Numbers 24:17</a></b>: In Balaam's prophecy, the sceptre is again a symbol of future dominion: "I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob, and a scepter will rise from Israel." . This prophecy is seen as a messianic prediction, indicating the rise of a powerful ruler from Israel.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/esther/4-11.htm">Esther 4:11</a></b>: The sceptre is also a literal object in the narrative of Esther, representing the king's authority and the power to grant life or death: "All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned has but one law: that he be put to death, unless the king extends the golden scepter, allowing him to live." . Here, the sceptre is a symbol of the king's favor and mercy.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/psalms/45-6.htm">Psalm 45:6</a></b>: The sceptre is associated with divine justice and righteousness: "Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom." . This verse is often interpreted as a messianic psalm, pointing to the eternal and righteous reign of Christ.<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/hebrews/1-8.htm">Hebrews 1:8</a></b>: The sceptre is used to affirm the divinity and eternal kingship of Christ: "But about the Son He says: 'Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.'" . This passage quotes <a href="/psalms/45-6.htm">Psalm 45:6</a>, applying it directly to Jesus, emphasizing His divine authority and righteous rule.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Interpretation</b><br><br>In biblical symbolism, the sceptre represents not only earthly authority but also divine sanction and legitimacy. It is a powerful emblem of leadership that is both temporal and spiritual. The sceptre's association with Judah and the messianic prophecies underscores its significance in the biblical narrative as a symbol of the coming Messiah, who would establish an everlasting kingdom characterized by justice and righteousness.<br><br>Throughout Scripture, the sceptre serves as a reminder of God's sovereign rule and the ultimate authority of Christ as King of Kings. It is a testament to the fulfillment of God's promises and the establishment of His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Sceptre</span><p>This word originally meant a <i>rod</i> or <i>staff</i> . It was thence specifically applied to the shepherd's crook, (<a href="/leviticus/27-32.htm">Leviticus 27:32</a>; <a href="/micah/7-14.htm">Micah 7:14</a>) and to the wand or sceptre of a ruler. The allusions to it are all of a metaphorical character, and describe it simply as one of the insignia of supreme power. (<a href="/genesis/49-10.htm">Genesis 49:10</a>) We are consequently unable to describe the article from any biblical notice we may infer that it was probably made of wood. The sceptre of the Persian monarch is described as "golden" i.e. probably of massive gold.

The Hebrew shebheT is the ordinary word for rod or club, and is used of an ordinary rod (compare <a href="/2_samuel/7-14.htm">2 Samuel 7:14</a>), of the shepherd's crook (<a href="/psalms/23-4.htm">Psalm 23:4</a>), scribe's baton or marshal's staff (<a href="/judges/5-14.htm">Judges 5:14</a>), as well as of the symbol of royalty. Its symbolism may be connected with the use of the shebheT for protection (<a href="/2_samuel/23-21.htm">2 Samuel 23:21</a> <a href="/psalms/23-4.htm">Psalm 23:4</a>) or for punishment (<a href="/isaiah/10-24.htm">Isaiah 10:24</a>; <a href="/isaiah/30-31.htm">Isaiah 30:31</a>). It is used with reference to the royal line descended from Judah (<a href="/genesis/49-10.htm">Genesis 49:10</a>), and figuratively of sovereignty in general and possibly of conquest (<a href="/numbers/24-17.htm">Numbers 24:17</a>, in Israel; <a href="/isaiah/14-5.htm">Isaiah 14:5</a>, in Babylonia; <a href="/amos/1-5.htm">Amos 1:5, 8</a>, in Syria, among Philistines; <a href="/zechariah/10-11.htm">Zechariah 10:11</a>, in Egypt), the disappearance or cutting off of him that holdeth the scepter being tantamount to loss of national independence. The kingship of Yahweh is spoken of as a scepter (<a href="/psalms/45-6.htm">Psalm 45:6</a> (Hebrew verse 7) quoted in <a href="/hebrews/1-8.htm">Hebrews 1:8</a>). The manner of using the scepter by an oriental monarch is suggested in the act of Ahasuerus, who holds it out to Esther as a mark of favor. The subject touches the top of it, perhaps simply as an act of homage or possibly to indicate a desire to be heard. The scepter of Ahasuerus is spoken of as "golden" (<a href="/esther/5-2.htm">Esther 5:2</a>), but it is probable that scepters were ordinarily made of straight branches (maTeh) of certain kinds of vines (<a href="/ezekiel/19-11.htm">Ezekiel 19:11, 14</a>).<br><br>It is sometimes difficult to determine whether the word shebheT is used in figurative passages in the sense of scepter or merely in the ordinary sense of staff (e.g. <a href="/psalms/125-3.htm">Psalm 125:3</a>, the King James Version "rod," the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version "sceptre" (of the wicked); <a href="/psalms/2-9.htm">Psalm 2:9</a>, "rod of iron"; <a href="/proverbs/22-8.htm">Proverbs 22:8</a>, "rod of his wrath"). Another word, mechoqeq, literally, "prescribing" (person or thing), formerly translated uniformly "lawgiver," is now generally taken, on the basis of parallelism, to mean "sceptre" in four poetic passages (<a href="/genesis/49-10.htm">Genesis 49:10</a>, "ruler's staff" to avoid repetition; <a href="/numbers/21-18.htm">Numbers 21:18</a> <a href="/psalms/60-7.htm">Psalm 60:7</a>; <a href="/psalms/108-8.htm">Psalm 108:8</a>).<br><br>Nathan Isaacs<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4464.htm"><span class="l">4464. rhabdos -- a staff, rod</span></a> <br><b>...</b> rod, scepter, staff.
