Nahum 1:13 - The Pulpit Commentary - Bible Study & Commentary

Nahum 1:13 - Exposition

His yoke. The yoke of Assyria, probably referring to the vassalage of Judah ( 2 Kings 18:14 ; 2 Chronicles 33:11 ). (For the metaphor of "yoke" denoting subjugation, setup. Le 26:13; Jeremiah 27:2 ; Ezekiel 34:27 .) Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 30:8 ) seems to use these words of Nahum to announce the deliverance of Israel from captivity. Burst thy bonds in sunder; by the final overthrow of the Assyrian power ( Psalms 2:3 ; Jeremiah 2:20 ).
