'Blows' in the Bible

Now when Moses had become a man, one day he went out to his people and saw how hard their work was; and he saw an Egyptian giving blows to a Hebrew, one of his people.

And the responsible men of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's overseers had put over them, were given blows, and they said to them, Why have you not done your regular work, in making bricks as before?

They give us no dry stems and they say to us, Make bricks: and they give your servants blows; but it is your people who are in the wrong.

If a man gives his man-servant or his woman-servant blows with a rod, causing death, he is certainly to undergo punishment.
