NECK.—(1) In the embrace of family salutation the smooth part of the neck below the car is the part that is kissed, first on one side and then on the other (Luke 15:20). This is implied in Hebrew by the use of the dual form (Genesis 46:29). (2) Prisoners and those condemned to punishment had the chain attached to a metal ring around the neck (Luke 17:2). (3) It was on the neck of the oxen that the yoke was placed in ploughing. The freedom from all other bondage, which is conferred and naturalized by the grace of Christ, is conditioned by the yoke of service to Him (Matthew 11:29-30).
