yoke in Genesis 27
YOHK
This thing shows up in Genesis 27:40: “By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you shall shake his yoke…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 27:40
“By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you shall shake his yoke from off your neck.””
What kids can learn
When you hear yoke in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
