SIBI-P1 H5923-07

his imposed yoke

Rootעלל (ʿ-l-l)
Core Meaningsto deal with, act upon, impose, practice, treat severely
Semantic Rangeliteral yoke for animals; figurative yoke of servitude, political subjugation, forced labor, obligation, discipline, or oppression
Conceptual SignificanceThe yoke symbolizes submission and authority—whether oppressive foreign rule or covenantal submission to יהוה. Breaking the yoke signifies deliverance and liberation, while bearing the yoke can represent discipline or rightful allegiance.
Morphological NotesHebrew noun, common masculine singular construct (עֹל) with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix (-וֹ), yielding "his yoke."
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֹל denotes a yoke—something imposed upon the neck—reflecting the root idea of acting upon or imposing treatment. The form is masculine singular in construct with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix, hence "his imposed yoke," preserving both the possessive suffix and the sense of imposed burden inherent in the root.
