Usage

The Hebrew word "tsavvar" primarily refers to the neck, the part of the body that connects the head to the torso. In the Bible, it is often used metaphorically to describe submission or stubbornness, as in "stiff-necked" people who resist God's will. It can also denote vulnerability or the place where burdens are carried, as in the yoke placed upon the neck.
