The shoulders are frequently mentioned in various contexts throughout the Scriptures, illustrating both physical and metaphorical concepts.<br><br><b>Symbol of Strength and Authority</b><br><br>The shoulders are often associated with strength and authority. In <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>, the prophecy concerning the coming Messiah states, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders." This passage highlights the Messiah's role in bearing the responsibility of leadership and governance, symbolizing His strength and authority to rule.<br><br><b>Burden-Bearing</b><br><br>The shoulders are also depicted as a place for carrying burdens. In the Old Testament, the Levites were instructed to carry the Ark of the Covenant on their shoulders using poles, as described in <a href="/1_chronicles/15-15.htm">1 Chronicles 15:15</a>: "And the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD." This act signifies the sacred duty and responsibility placed upon the Levites to bear the holy presence of God.<br><br><b>Symbol of Support and Protection</b><br><br>In the context of support and protection, the shoulders are mentioned in <a href="/deuteronomy/33-12.htm">Deuteronomy 33:12</a>, where Moses blesses the tribe of Benjamin: "The beloved of the LORD rests securely in Him; He shields him all day long, and upon His shoulders he rests." This imagery conveys a sense of divine protection and care, with God Himself providing a place of rest and security upon His shoulders.<br><br><b>Metaphor for Responsibility</b><br><br>The shoulders are often used metaphorically to represent the acceptance of responsibility. In the parable of the lost sheep, Jesus describes the shepherd who finds the lost sheep and joyfully places it on his shoulders, as recorded in <a href="/luke/15-5.htm">Luke 15:5</a>: "And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders." This act symbolizes the shepherd's willingness to bear the responsibility of caring for and restoring the lost.<br><br><b>Cultural and Ritual Significance</b><br><br>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, carrying loads on the shoulders was a common practice, and this is reflected in various biblical narratives. For instance, in <a href="/genesis/21-14.htm">Genesis 21:14</a>, Hagar is sent away by Abraham with provisions placed on her shoulder: "Early in the morning, Abraham got up, took bread and a skin of water, put them on Hagar's shoulders, and sent her away with the boy." This practical use of the shoulders underscores their role in daily life and survival.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Throughout the Bible, the imagery of shoulders serves as a powerful symbol of strength, responsibility, and care. Whether in the context of leadership, burden-bearing, or divine protection, the shoulders represent a place of support and duty, reflecting the broader themes of service and stewardship found in Scripture.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/5606.htm"><span class="l">5606. omos -- the shoulder</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Definition: the shoulder.
