'Yoke' in the Bible
Take my yoke on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy to bear, and my load is not hard to carry."
Another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going out to examine them. Please excuse me.'
So now why are you putting God to the test by placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear?
For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery.
Those who are under the yoke as slaves must regard their own masters as deserving of full respect. This will prevent the name of God and Christian teaching from being discredited.
