1. A well-known implement of husbandry, frequently used metaphorically forsubjection , e.g. (1 Kings 12:4,9-11;Isaiah 9:4;Jeremiah 5:5) hence an "iron yoke" represents an unusually galling bondage. (28:48;Jeremiah 28:13)
2. A pair of oxen, so termed as being yoked together. (1 Samuel 11:7;1 Kings 19:19,21) The Hebrew term is also applied to asses, (Judges 19:10) and mules, (2 Kings 5:17) and even to a couple of riders. (Isaiah 21:7)
3. The term is also applied to a certain amount of land, (1 Samuel 14:14) equivalent to that which a couple of oxen could plough in a day, (Isaiah 5:10) (Authorized Version "acre"), corresponding to the Latinjugum .

A symbol of subjection and servitude,1 Kings 12:4; an iron yoke, of severe oppression, De 28:48. The ceremonial law was a yoke, a burden-some restriction,Acts 15:10Galatians 5:1. The withdrawing or breaking of a yoke denoted a temporary or an unlimited emancipation form bondage,Isaiah 58:6Jeremiah 2:20, and sometimes the disowning of rightful authority,Jeremiah 5:5. The iron yoke imposed by our sins, none but God can remove, La 1:14; but the yoke of Christ's service is easy and light,Matthew 11:29,30.

(1.) Fitted on the neck of oxen for the purpose of binding to them the traces by which they might draw the plough, etc. (Numbers 19:2;Deuteronomy 21:3). It was a curved piece of wood called 'ol.

(2.) InJeremiah 27:2; 28:10, 12 the word in the Authorized Version rendered "yoke" is motah, which properly means a "staff," or as in the Revised Version, "bar."

These words in the Hebrew are both used figuratively of severe bondage, or affliction, or subjection (Leviticus 26:13;1 Kings 12:4;Isaiah 47:6;Lamentations 1:14;3:27). In the New Testament the word "yoke" is also used to denote servitude (Matthew 11:29, 30;Acts 15:10;Galatians 5:1).

(3.) In1 Samuel 11:7,1 Kings 19:21,Job 1:3 the word thus translated is tzemed, which signifies a pair, two oxen yoked or coupled together, and hence in1 Samuel 14:14 it represents as much land as a yoke of oxen could plough in a day, like the Latin jugum. In Isaiah 5:10 this word in the plural is translated "acres."

2. (n.) A frame or piece resembling a yoke, as in use or shape.

3. (n.) A frame of wood fitted to a person's shoulders for carrying pails, etc., suspended on each side; as, a milkmaid's yoke.

4. (n.) A frame worn on the neck of an animal, as a cow, a pig, a goose, to prevent passage through a fence.

5. (n.) A frame or convex piece by which a bell is hung for ringing it. See Illust. of Bell.

6. (n.) A crosspiece upon the head of a boat's rudder. To its ends lines are attached which lead forward so that the boat can be steered from amidships.

7. (n.) A bent crosspiece connecting two other parts.

8. (n.) A tie securing two timbers together, not used for part of a regular truss, but serving a temporary purpose, as to provide against unusual strain.

9. (n.) A band shaped to fit the shoulders or the hips, and joined to the upper full edge of the waist or the skirt.

10. (n.) Fig.: That which connects or binds; a chain; a link; a bond connection.

11. (n.) A mark of servitude; hence, servitude; slavery; bondage; service.

12. (n.) Two animals yoked together; a couple; a pair that work together.

13. (n.) The quantity of land plowed in a day by a yoke of oxen.

14. (n.) A portion of the working day; as, to work two yokes, that is, to work both portions of the day, or morning and afternoon.

15. (v. t.) To put a yoke on; to join in or with a yoke; as, to yoke oxen, or pair of oxen.

16. (v. t.) To couple; to join with another.

17. (v. t.) To enslave; to bring into bondage; to restrain; to confine.

18. (v. i.) To be joined or associated; to be intimately connected; to consort closely; to mate.

yok:

(1) The usual word is `ol (Genesis 27:40, etc.), less commonly the (apparently later) form moTah (Isaiah 58:6, etc.; in Nab 1:13 moT), which the Revised Version (British and American) in Jeremiah 27; 28 translates "bar" (a most needless and obscuring change). The Greek in Apocrypha (Sirach 28:19, etc.) and in the New Testament (Matthew 11:29, etc.) is invariably zugos. Egyptian monuments show a yoke that consisted of a straight bar fastened to the foreheads of the cattle at the root of the horns, and such yokes were no doubt used in Palestine also; but the more usual form was one that rested on the neck (Genesis 27:40, etc.). It was provided with straight "bars" (moToth inLeviticus 26:13Ezekiel 34:27) projecting downward, against which the shoulders of the oxen pressed, and it was held in position by thongs or "bonds" (moceroth inJeremiah 2:20;Jeremiah 5:5;Jeremiah 27:2;Jeremiah 30:8; 'aghuddoth inIsaiah 58:6, "bands"), fastened under the animals' throats. Such yokes could of course be of any weight (1 Kings 12:4), depending on the nature of the work to be done, but the use of "iron yokes" (Deuteronomy 28:48Jeremiah 28:13 f) must have been very rare, if, indeed, the phrase is anything more than a figure of speech.

What is meant by "the yoke on their jaws" inHosea 11:4 is quite obscure. Possibly a horse's bit is meant; possibly the phrase is a condensed form for "the yoke that prevents their feeding"; possibly the text is corrupt.

SeeJAW.

The figurative use of "yoke" in the sense of "servitude" is intensely obvious (compare especially Jeremiah 27, 28). Attention needs to be called only toLamentations 3:27, where "disciplining sorrow" is meant, and toJeremiah 5:5, where the phrase is a figure for "the law of God." This last use became popular with the Jews at a later period and it is found, e.g. in Apocrypha Baruch 41:3; Psalter of Solomon 7:9; 17:32; Ab. iii.7,. and in this sense the phrase is employed. by Christ inMatthew 11:29 f. "My yoke" here means "the service of God as I teach it" (the common interpretation, "the sorrows that I bear," is utterly irrelevant) and the emphasis is on "my." The contrast is not between "yoke" and "no yoke," but between "my teaching" (light yoke) and "the current scribal teaching'; (heavy yoke).

(2) "Yoke" in the sense of "a pair of oxen" is tsemedh (1 Samuel 11:7, etc.), or zeugos (Luke 14:19).
