Yoke That which unites the oxen in plowing, Luke 14:19. Used symbolically of the laborious servitude of the law, Acts 15:10; Gal. 5:1; in contrast to which is the yoke of the Lord, which is easy, and the burden light, Matt. 11:29-30. We are not to be unequally yoked to unbelievers, 2 Cor. 6:14. Paul calls someone his true yokefellow (probably Epaphroditus), Phil. 4:3. A symbol of restraint. Deut. 28.
