1 ζυγός
ζυγός, οῦ, ὁ (Hom. Hymns, Cer. 217 and prose since Pla., Tim. 63b; Polyb., Epict.; PFay 121, 4 εἰς τὸν ζ.; PStras 32, 12; LXX [Thackeray p. 154]; En 103:11; PsSol 7:9 [acc. without art.]; 17:30; TestAbr A 12f [Stone p. 30, 6 al.]; Just., D. 53, 1; Ath., R. 58, 22 [? acc. without art.]) for Attic τὸ ζυγόν (Hom. et al.; pap; Gignac II 97; Jos., Ant. 12, 194; Just., D. 88, 8 [but ζυγούς GThGk A 13, 1: Ea 152]).① a frame used to control working animals or, in the case of humans, to expedite the bearing of burdens, yoke in our lit. only fig. of any burden: ζ. δουλείας yoke of slavery (Soph., Aj. 944; cp. Hdt. 7, 8, γ3; Pla., Leg. 6, 770e; Demosth. 18, 289; Gen 27:40) Gal 5:1. ὑπὸ ζυγὸν δοῦλοι slaves under the yoke (i.e. under the y. of sl.) 1 Ti 6:1. ζυγὸς ἀνάγκης yoke of necessity (Eur., Or. 1330) B 2:6. Of the teaching of Jesus Mt 11:29f (cp. Sir 51:26, also 6:24–28; THaering, Mt 11:28–30: ASchlatter Festschr. 1922, 3–15; TArvedson, D. Mysterium Christi ’37, 174–200; HBetz, JBL 86, ’67, 10–24); D 6:2. ὑπὸ τὸν ζυγὸν τῆς χάριτος ἔρχεσθαι come under the yoke of grace 1 Cl 16:17 (opp. ViDa 7 [p. 77, 12 Sch.] ὑπὸ ζ. γίνονται τοῦ Βελίαρ). ἐπιθεῖναι ζυγὸν ἐπὶ τ. τράχηλόν τινος put a yoke on the neck of someone Ac 15:10 (sim. expr. have become formal since Hes., Op. 815; Orph. Hymns 59, 5; Zosimus, Hist. 2, 37, 8; SibOr 3, 448). From this mng. it is a short step to application of such a balancing structure to② an instrument for determining weight, scale. The context of Rv 6:5 requires this mng., even though the gender of ζ. cannot be definitely determined. In older Gk. the neuter and apparently preferred form τὸ ζυγόν refers to the ‘lever of a balance’ (Aeschyl., Suppl. 822), then ‘balance, pair of scales’ (Pla. et al.; s. LXX in Thackeray, loc. cit.; Michel 1222, 4 [II B.C.]; but masc. TestAbr A).—B. 726. DELG s.v. ζεύγνυμι III. Frisk s.v. ζυγόν. M-M. TW.
