Exegesis
The infinitive rhabdizein {ῥαβδίζειν | rhab-dí-zein} “to beat with rods” states the content of that command. The dynamic translation streamlines the sequence into a natural flow (“united,” “tore away,” “gave orders”) while maintaining the distinction between mob aggression and official judicial action.
In context — Acts 16:22
And the crowd rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore off their garments and ordered that they be beaten with rods .
