(Genesis 49:15)); withdrawing of, denoted rebellion (Neh. 9:29²⁹And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear. (Nehemiah 9:29)); bearing upon, meant to sustain (Isa. 9:6; 22:22⁶For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

“Shoulder” From Concise Bible Dictionary:

Often alluded to in scripture as the place of strength, on which burdens are borne. The high priest had the names of the twelve tribes on his shoulders, as in a place of safety (Ex. 28:12¹²And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord upon his two shoulders for a memorial. (Exodus 28:12)). Of Christ it is said, when He comes to reign, the “government shall be on his shoulder” (Isa. 9:6⁶For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)); and, as the Good Shepherd, when He finds a lost sheep He places it on His shoulders (Luke 15:5⁵And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. (Luke 15:5)). When God blesses Israel in their land the Gentiles will bring Israel’s dispersed daughters upon their shoulders, that is, will give them substantial aid (Isa. 49:22²²Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. (Isaiah 49:22)).

“Arm” From Concise Bible Dictionary:

The member of the body which is capable of lifting burdens and defending the person: it is used symbolically for the power and strength of God on behalf of His saints (Ex. 15:16¹⁶Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased. (Exodus 15:16); Psa. 77:15¹⁵Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. (Psalm 77:15); Isa. 51:9⁹Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? (Isaiah 51:9); Isa. 53:1¹Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? (Isaiah 53:1)). The arm of Jehovah is often spoken of in the Old Testament It redeemed (Ex. 6:6⁶Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments: (Exodus 6:6)); gathers His own (Isa. 40:11¹¹He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. (Isaiah 40:11)); and rules for Him (Isa. 40:10¹⁰Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. (Isaiah 40:10)), as in the kingdom. It is a holy arm (Isa. 52:10¹⁰The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. (Isaiah 52:10); Psa. 98:1¹<<A Psalm.>> O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. (Psalm 98:1)); and it is a glorious arm (Isa. 63:12¹²That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name? (Isaiah 63:12)). The arm of the Lord is revealed to souls where there is repentance and faith in the report which God sends (Isa. 53:1¹Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? (Isaiah 53:1); Rom. 10:16¹⁶But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? (Romans 10:16)). It is to be trusted in even by the isles of the Gentiles, that is, by sinners everywhere in creation (Isa. 51:5⁵My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust. (Isaiah 51:5)).
