The concept of harnessing is mentioned in various contexts throughout the Bible, often symbolizing preparation for battle or labor.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>The use of harnesses is primarily associated with horses and chariots, which were significant in ancient warfare. In <a href="/exodus/14-6.htm">Exodus 14:6</a>, Pharaoh harnesses his chariot to pursue the Israelites: "So he made ready his chariot and took his army with him." This passage highlights the readiness and mobilization for battle, as Pharaoh prepares to chase after the fleeing Israelites.<br><br>In <a href="/1_kings/20-11.htm">1 Kings 20:11</a>, the term is used metaphorically to convey caution and humility: "The king of Israel answered, 'Tell him: The one putting on his armor should not boast like one taking it off.'" Here, the act of putting on armor, akin to harnessing, serves as a reminder that one should not boast before the battle is won.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Metaphorical Use</b><br><br>The harness is often symbolic of control and direction. In <a href="/psalms/32-9.htm">Psalm 32:9</a>, the psalmist advises against being like a horse or mule that requires a harness to be guided: "Do not be like the horse or mule, which have no understanding; they must be controlled with bit and bridle to make them come to you." This verse underscores the importance of willing obedience to God, rather than needing external control.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>While the New Testament does not explicitly mention harnesses, the concept of being yoked or bound is present. In <a href="/matthew/11-29.htm">Matthew 11:29-30</a>, Jesus invites believers to take His yoke upon them: "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Here, the yoke, similar to a harness, represents submission to Christ's guidance and teaching, promising rest and ease in contrast to the burdens of the world.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Insights</b><br><br>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, harnesses were essential for the effective use of horses in agriculture and warfare. The development of chariotry, which relied heavily on well-crafted harnesses, was a significant advancement in military technology. The ability to harness horses effectively allowed for greater mobility and speed in battle, often determining the outcome of conflicts.<br><br><b>Spiritual Lessons</b><br><br>The biblical references to harnesses serve as a reminder of the importance of preparation, control, and submission. Just as a harness directs and controls a horse, believers are called to submit to God's guidance and prepare themselves for spiritual battles. The metaphor of the harness encourages Christians to rely on God's strength and wisdom, rather than their own, in navigating the challenges of life.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Harness</span><p>A suit of defensive armor, <a href="/1_kings/20-11.htm">1 Kings 20:11</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/18-33.htm">2 Chronicles 18:33</a>.
