The farmer would hold on to the wooden handle, and the point of iron would drive into the dirt. This simple plow was attached to a yoke and drawn by two or more oxen. The farmer held the plow with one hand, and in the other hand, he held a stick to prod the oxen forward and in line. During the conversion experience of Saul, there is a plowing illustration used in, Acts 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord?

Again, the prods were used to keep the ox moving forward and in line…
