To put a yoke upon the neck, &c.— "A grievous and heavy burden, which neither our fathers nor we have been able cheerfully and regularly to bear, without being exposed to great inconveniences, and many transgressions in consequence of it." The rabbinical writers apply this phrase to any practical doctrine or precept. See Jeremiah 28:14.Matthew 23:4. The force of the argument is, "Why tempt ye God, distrusting and disbelieving him, by imposing this yoke upon the Gentile converts, after he has declared his acceptance of them, by pouring forth the gift of the Holy Spirit upon them without their being circumcised?"
