It appears in the Hebrew Bible to illustrate vulnerability or the point of separation. Context: מִפְרֶקֶת (miphréqet) is a feminine noun found in the Hebrew Scriptures, specifically in the context of describing the neck's joint. The term is used to convey the idea of a critical point of connection or potential disconnection, emphasizing the vulnerability of the neck area. In the Berean Standard Bible, this term is used in passages that highlight the physical and metaphorical significance of the neck as a point of strength or weakness. The neck, being a vital part of the body, is often used symbolically in Scripture to represent submission or rebellion, depending on its posture or condition. The imagery of the neck's joint serves to illustrate the delicate balance between strength and fragility in human life.
