19.1 · Physical Impact · Hit, Strike
to hit, to strike, to beat to strike or hit an object, one or more times Note that the imperfect tense may be used of a repeated action, and therefore the translation ‘beat.’ ἔτυπτεν τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ ‘he beat his breast’ LUK 18:13. The action of ‘beating the breast’ in LUK 18:13 is symbolic in that it has the meaning of repentance and contrition. In other languages, however, the expression ‘to beat the breast’ may constitute a symbol of pride or self-flattery. In some languages the equivalent of the biblical expression ‘to beat the breast’ is ‘to strike the head’ or ‘to grasp the abdomen.’
