It can also refer to a branch, indicating growth or extension. The word is used metaphorically to represent power or the means by which authority is exercised.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, a staff or rod was a common symbol of authority and leadership. Shepherds used staffs to guide and protect their flocks, and leaders or kings often carried rods as symbols of their power and responsibility.
