Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for מָנוֹר (manor) in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a yoke is represented by the Greek word ζυγός (zygos) in the New Testament, which is Strong's Greek Number 2218. This term is used metaphorically in passages such as Matthew 11:29-30, where Jesus speaks of His yoke being easy and His burden light, contrasting the oppressive yokes of legalism and sin. Usage: The term מָנוֹר (manor) is used in the context of describing a yoke, which is a wooden frame or bar placed on the necks of animals, typically oxen, to enable them to pull a load or plow. It is also used to describe the frame of a loom, which is a device used to weave cloth. Context: • The Hebrew word מָנוֹר (manor) appears in the Old Testament in contexts that emphasize labor, burden, and the tools associated with agricultural and domestic work. The yoke is a symbol of servitude and labor, often used metaphorically to describe oppression or the imposition of burdens by rulers or foreign powers. In the context of a loom, מָנוֹר (manor) refers to the structural frame that holds the threads in place for weaving, highlighting the domestic and industrious aspects of ancient Hebrew life. • The yoke, as a physical object, was essential in agrarian societies for plowing fields and transporting goods. It represents the connection between the animal and its task, symbolizing both the burden and the cooperation required to accomplish work. In biblical literature, the yoke is often used metaphorically to describe the relationship between God and His people, as well as the burdens imposed by sin or foreign domination. • The frame of a loom, on the other hand, signifies the domestic sphere and the production of textiles, which was a vital part of ancient household economies. The loom's frame, or מָנוֹר (manor), is crucial for maintaining the tension and alignment of threads, allowing for the creation of fabric.
