# yoke, yoked, tied
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition:
|
||||
|
||||
A yoke is a piece of wood or metal attached to two or more animals to connect them for the purpose of pulling a plow or a cart. There are also several figurative meanings for this term.
|
||||
|
||||
* The term “yoke” is used figuratively to refer to something that joins people for the purpose of working together, such as in serving Jesus.
|
||||
* Paul used the term “yokefellow” to refer to someone who was serving Christ as he was. This could also be translated as “fellow worker” or “fellow servant” or “coworker.”
|
||||
* The term “yoke” is also often used figuratively to refer to a heavy load that someone has to carry, such as when being oppressed by slavery or persecution.
|
||||
* In most contexts, it is best to translate this term literally, using the local term for a yoke that is used for farming.
|
||||
* Other ways to translate the figurative use of this term could be, “oppressive burden” or “heavy load” or “bond,” depending on the context.
