The term "battered" is not explicitly found in the Berean Standard Bible , but the concept of being battered, in the sense of being beaten, oppressed, or afflicted, is present throughout the Scriptures. This entry explores the biblical understanding of being battered, both physically and spiritually, and how it is addressed within the biblical narrative.
Physical BatteringPhysical violence and oppression are realities acknowledged in the Bible. The Scriptures provide numerous accounts of individuals and groups who suffered physical harm and abuse. For instance, the Israelites in Egypt were subjected to harsh treatment and forced labor, as described in
Exodus 1:13-14: "They worked the Israelites ruthlessly and made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their hard labor, the Egyptians used them ruthlessly."
