The word "yokes" is found in the KJV Bible 4 times in the following 3 verses: * Jeremiah 27:2 "Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck," * Jeremiah 28:13 "Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron." * Ezekiel 30:18 "At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity." The word "Yoke" is mentioned an additional 59 times in 53 verses.
Literally, a "yoke" is a device laid across the necks of draft animals to harness them together so they can work as a team, and their load is attached to it. Its use gave rise to a couple of figurative meanings in the New Testament.
If a yoke wasn't properly attached to the animals, or if the load was too heavy for them to pull, the yoke would chafe the animals painfully and hinder their productivity. Jesus made use of this bit of common knowledge among His audience when He taught, "My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (Matthew 11:30), wherein He was contrasting the "difficulties" of following Him with the difficulties of keeping the Law of Moses. ("Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?" - The Apostle Peter, speaking in Acts 15:10.)
The other major figurative meaning refers to the way a yoke places animals side-by-side, so they must both matchand move together in order to accomplish anything. This aspect gives rise to the teaching, "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers." (2 Corinthians 6:14). This teaching is not exclusive to marriage; in fact, Paul wasn't even talking about marriage in that passage. It more broadly applies to any relationship that would compel two people to "work together as one."
[Quotes from NKJV]
It usually refers analogically to an oxen-yoke. Carts and plows were pulled by oxen--wearing this wooden-structure around their necks. It is thought by some that Jesus built such "yokes" as a living.
