It is often used in contexts where something is being taken off or separated, such as yokes from animals or burdens from people. The term can imply a sense of liberation or relief, as well as destruction or separation, depending on the context.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the imagery of removing a yoke was powerful, symbolizing freedom from oppression or servitude. Yokes were used to harness animals for labor, and breaking a yoke signified release from heavy burdens. This concept was deeply embedded in the agrarian society of the Israelites, where physical labor and servitude were common experiences.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to tear apart or away<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>break (1), deliver (1), dragging me away (1), rending (1), rescued (1), tear it off (1), tear off (2), tore off (1), torn off (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">מָּרַק</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>tear apart, away</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>remove</em> (load, etc.), Pi`el <em>separate, take to pieces</em>;
