YHWH sometimes JHWH A transliteration of the four Hebrew letters that form the name of
God that is never to be uttered by strict Jews. The four-letter combination is known as the Tetragrammaton. It
is usually translated in The Holy Bible as Yahweh or as Jehovah by inserting vowels that are missing from the
Hebrew language. Many English versions of the Bible replace the Hebrew Tetragrammaton with the fully
capitalised title LORD.

Yoke
Fitted on the neck of oxen for the purpose of binding to them the traces by which they might
draw the plough, etc. (Num. 19:2; Deut. 21:3). It was a curved piece of wood called 'ol.
In Jer. 27:2; 28:10, 12 the word in the Authorised Version rendered "yoke" is motah, which
properly means a "staff," or as in the Revised Version, "bar."
These words in the Hebrew are both used figuratively of severe bondage, or affliction, or subjection (Lev. 26:13; 1 Kings 12:4; Isa. 47:6; Lam. 1:14; 3:27). In the New Testament the word "yoke" is also used to denote servitude (Matt. 11:29, 30; Acts 15:10; Gal. 5:1).
