Strong's Lexicon trachélos: Neck Original Word: τράχηλος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root word τράχηλος, which is related to the neck or throat. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is עֹרֶף (oreph), which also means neck or back of the neck. Usage: In the New Testament, "trachélos" refers to the physical neck of a person or animal. It is used both literally and metaphorically to describe the neck as a part of the body that can be adorned, burdened, or symbolically represent submission or vulnerability. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek and Jewish culture, the neck was often seen as a symbol of strength and pride. It was also a place where burdens could be placed, such as yokes on animals or chains on prisoners. The neck was considered a vulnerable part of the body, and its exposure or adornment could signify various social or spiritual states.
