The neck is a significant part of the human body, connecting the head to the torso, and its representation in Scripture carries various connotations depending on the context. Literal Usage: In its literal sense, the neck is mentioned in various contexts, often highlighting its vulnerability or strength. For instance, in <a href="/genesis/27-16.htm">Genesis 27:16</a>, Rebekah places the skins of young goats on Jacob's neck to deceive Isaac into thinking he is Esau. This passage underscores the neck's role in identity and recognition. The neck is also associated with adornment and beauty. In <a href="/songs/4-9.htm">Song of Solomon 4:9</a>, the beloved's neck is compared to a tower, symbolizing grace and elegance: "You have captured my heart, my sister, my bride; you have captured my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace." Metaphorical Usage: 1. Submission and Servitude: The neck is often used metaphorically to represent submission or servitude. In <a href="/deuteronomy/28-48.htm">Deuteronomy 28:48</a>, the Israelites are warned that if they disobey God, they will serve their enemies, who will place an iron yoke on their necks: "Therefore you will serve your enemies the LORD sends against you in famine, thirst, nakedness, and destitution. He will place an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you." 2. Stubbornness and Pride: Conversely, a "stiff neck" symbolizes stubbornness and pride. This metaphor is frequently used to describe the Israelites' rebellion against God. In <a href="/exodus/32-9.htm">Exodus 32:9</a>, the LORD says to Moses, "I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people." This imagery conveys the idea of resistance to divine guidance and correction. 3. Strength and Protection: The neck can also symbolize strength and protection. In <a href="/job/41-22.htm">Job 41:22</a>, describing the formidable Leviathan, it is said, "Strength resides in his neck, and dismay leaps before him." Here, the neck is a symbol of power and invincibility. 4. Punishment and Judgment: The neck is sometimes associated with punishment and judgment. In <a href="/jeremiah/27-2.htm">Jeremiah 27:2</a>, the prophet is instructed to make a yoke and put it on his neck as a sign of the impending Babylonian captivity: "This is what the LORD said to me: 'Make for yourself a yoke out of leather straps and put it on your neck.'" Cultural and Theological Significance: In biblical times, the neck was often adorned with jewelry, indicating wealth and status. Necklaces and chains were common gifts and symbols of favor, as seen in <a href="/genesis/41-42.htm">Genesis 41:42</a> when Pharaoh places a gold chain around Joseph's neck. Theologically, the neck's representation as a site of submission or rebellion serves as a powerful reminder of the human tendency to resist divine authority. The imagery of a "stiff neck" calls believers to humility and obedience, urging them to yield to God's will rather than their own stubborn inclinations. Overall, the neck in biblical literature serves as a multifaceted symbol, reflecting the complexities of human nature and the relationship between God and His people.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div>NeckThe phrases to "harden the neck," <a href="/context/proverbs/29-1.htm">Proverbs 29:1</a>, and to be "stiff- necked," like a headstrong brute, illustrate the willful obstinacy of sinners against the instructions and commands of God. The tyrants of ancient days sometimes put their feet on the prostrate necks of princes, in token of their subjugation, trampling them in the dust. Their mischief sometimes returned upon their own heads, <a href="/joshua/10-24.htm">Joshua 10:24</a>; <a href="/psalms/18-40.htm">Psalm 18:40</a>. <a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Used sometimes figuratively. To "lay down the neck" (<a href="/romans/16-4.htm">Romans 16:4</a>) is to hazard one's life.

"To shake off the yoke," "to break the yoke," or "to take it off" is expressive of the regaining of independence and liberty, either by one's own endeavors or through help from outside (<a href="/genesis/27-40.htm">Genesis 27:40</a> <a href="/isaiah/10-27.htm">Isaiah 10:27</a> <a href="/jeremiah/28-11.htm">Jeremiah 28:11</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/30-8.htm">Jeremiah 30:8</a>).

In <a href="/1_samuel/4-18.htm">1 Samuel 4:18</a> the Hebrew word miphreqeth signifies a fracture of the upper part of the spinal column caused by a fall. It was a military custom of antiquity for the conqueror to place his foot upon the vanquished. This custom, frequently represented in sculpture on many an Egyptian temple wall, is referred to in <a href="/joshua/10-24.htm">Joshua 10:24</a>; Baruch 4:25 and probably in <a href="/romans/16-20.htm">Romans 16:20</a> and <a href="/psalms/110-1.htm">Psalm 110:1</a>. Paul praises the devotion of Aquila and Priscilla, "who for my life laid down their own necks" (<a href="/romans/16-4.htm">Romans 16:4</a>). See <a href="../f/footstool.htm">FOOTSTOOL</a>. To "fall on the neck" of a person is a very usual mode of salutation in the East (<a href="/genesis/33-4.htm">Genesis 33:4</a>; <a href="/genesis/45-14.htm">Genesis 45:14</a>; <a href="/genesis/46-29.htm">Genesis 46:29</a>; Tob 11:9, 13; <a href="/luke/15-20.htm">Luke 15:20</a> <a href="/acts/20-37.htm">Acts 20:37</a>). In moments of great emotion such salutation is apt to end in weeping on each other's neck. Readiness for work is expressed by "putting one's neck to the work" (<a href="/nehemiah/3-5.htm">Nehemiah 3:5</a>). Severe punishment and calamity are said to "reach to the neck" (<a href="/isaiah/8-8.htm">Isaiah 8:8</a>; <a href="/isaiah/30-28.htm">Isaiah 30:28</a>). The Lord Jesus speaks of certain persons for whom it were better to have had a millstone put around the neck and to have been drowned in the sea. The meaning is that even the most disgraceful death is still preferable to a life of evil influence upon even the little ones of God's household (<a href="/matthew/18-6.htm">Matthew 18:6</a> <a href="/mark/9-42.htm">Mark 9:42</a> <a href="/luke/17-2.htm">Luke 17:2</a>). To "make the neck stiff," to "harden the neck" indicates obstinacy often mingled with rebellion (<a href="/exodus/32-9.htm">Exodus 32:9</a>; <a href="/exodus/33-3.htm">Exodus 33:3, 5</a>; 34:9 <a href="/2_chronicles/30-8.htm">2 Chronicles 30:8</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/36-13.htm">2 Chronicles 36:13</a> <a href="/nehemiah/9-16.htm">Nehemiah 9:16, 17, 29</a> <a href="/psalms/75-5.htm">Psalm 75:5</a> (the Revised Version margin "insolently with a haughty neck"); <a href="/proverbs/29-1.htm">Proverbs 29:1</a> <a href="/jeremiah/7-26.htm">Jeremiah 7:26</a>).
