Original Word: צַוָּאר
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine

Pronunciation: tsav-vawr'
Phonetic Spelling: (tsav-vawr')
Definition: Neck

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5137 τραχηλος (trachēlos): Refers to the neck, used in the New Testament in similar contexts, such as in Matthew 18:6, where it describes a millstone hung around the neck.

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.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, the neck was seen as a symbol of strength and vulnerability. It was the part of the body that could be adorned with jewelry, indicating wealth and status, or it could be subjected to a yoke, symbolizing servitude and submission. The imagery of the neck in biblical texts often reflects these cultural understandings, portraying the neck as a site of both beauty and burden.
