'Neck' in the Bible

and thou hast known, that not for thy righteousness is Jehovah thy God giving to thee this good land to possess it, for a people stiff of neck thou art.

And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and lo, a people stiff of neck it is;

and ye have circumcised the foreskin of your heart, and your neck ye do not harden any more;

And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:

All the elders of the city nearest to the victim will wash their hands by the stream over the young cow whose neck has been broken.

Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
