Best Answer

A literal yoke is an apparatus that is placed on draft animals to bind them together and attach them to their load. In figurative New Testament usage, a "yoke" is a burden one is called on to bear. For example: Matthew 11:29, 30 - "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." [NKJV]
