your yoke

Rootעלל (ʿ-l-l)
Core Meaningsto deal with, to act upon, to impose, burden, subjugation
Semantic Rangeliteral wooden yoke for draft animals; burden; servitude; forced labor; political subjugation; oppressive rule; covenantal obligation
Conceptual SignificanceThe "yoke" functions as a vivid covenantal and political metaphor in the Hebrew Bible, representing bondage to foreign powers, oppressive rule, or alternatively submission to YHWH’s authority. Breaking the yoke signifies liberation, while bearing it can imply either judgment or disciplined allegiance.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct form (עֹל) with 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (כֶם), yielding "your (mp) yoke."
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֹל denotes a yoke—an imposed bar placed upon the neck, symbolizing burden or subjugation. The form is masculine singular construct with a second person masculine plural suffix ("your"), thus "your yoke," addressing multiple males or a mixed group. The rendering preserves both the concrete image and the relational possession indicated in the morphology.
