 Daily Bible Study - Goads
The English word goad is derived from an old Anglo-Saxon word for a pointed pole that was used to prod cattle from one place to another, or by farmers to guide their oxen while plowing or doing other heavy work.
Goad is used to translate two original Hebrew words of the Holy Scriptures, pronounced mawl-mawd and dor-bawn, which mean the same thing - an ox goad, or something pointed.
Although goads were known and used as a farmer's tool to prod oxen, in both cases in which "goad" appears in the Holy Bible, in a literal sense, they are used as weapons of war.

 Stiff-Necked - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
As it is figuratively used, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, the word means "stubborn," "untractable," "not to be led." The derivation of the idea was entirely familiar to the Jews, with whom the ox was the most useful and common of domestic animals.
If an ox was hard to control or stubborn, it was "hard of neck," or stiff-necked.
Hence, the figure was used in the Scriptures to express the stubborn, untractable spirit of a people not responsive to the guiding of their God (Exodus 32:9; 33:3; Deuteronomy 9:6; 2 Chronicles 36:13; Jeremiah 17:23, etc.).

 Semantic Structure of the Hebrew Alphabet: Revived Qabala of Carlo Suares (Carlo Suarès) Phonosemantic and ...
The root icons of the Hebrew letters (ox, house, camel, door, fence, etc) carry meaning as individual letters, but no one would think of stringing the icons "ox-ox goad-fence-hand-fish" together to say something -- the letters are considered as place-markers in an arbitrary linguistic system, not as signs in themselves with inherent qualities.
Instead of limiting ourselves to the arbitrary, particularizing semantics of sense-bound colloquial languages, we can consider an abstract language of consciousness and energy, where the signs signify the most abstract and generalized concepts of which the specific literal icon is a particularlized material representation.
Then, for example, ox=fundamental power, ox goad=controlled movement, fence=life, hand=existence and mem=biosphere and we can begin to understand the internal structure and meaning of the equation called Elohim.

Altogether, the rowels of a spur suit the phrase better than the single point of an ox-goad.
