yoke in Leviticus 26

This thing shows up in Leviticus 26:13: “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves. I have broken the bars of your yoke,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.

Leviticus 26:13

“I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves. I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.”

What kids can learn

When you hear yoke in Leviticus, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.

Read Leviticus 26:13 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
