SIBI-P1 H5923-03

a binding yoke

Rootעלל (ʿ-l-l)
Core Meaningsto deal with, act upon, impose, deal severely, bind through imposed action
Semantic RangeA literal yoke placed on animals; figuratively, bondage, servitude, political oppression, disciplinary burden, or covenantal obligation.
Conceptual SignificanceThe yoke symbolizes enforced service or submission—whether to human rulers, foreign powers, sin, or YHWH. It conveys both oppression and rightful covenantal obligation, making it a powerful image of authority, discipline, and deliverance in Israel’s theological narrative.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun (absolute and construct forms attested). No pronominal suffixes in the cited data. Functions both independently ("a yoke") and in construct chains ("yoke of …").
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֹל is masculine singular (absolute or construct in the cited forms), so it is rendered as a singular concrete object. "Binding yoke" preserves the core idea of imposed action or constraint inherent in the root עלל, highlighting not just the wooden bar but the act of subjection or imposition it represents.
