We find him with one on, ch. xxviii. Hereby he intimated that he advised them to nothing but what he was resolved to do himself; for he was not one of those that bind heavy burdens on others, which they themselves will not touch with one of their fingers.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

bonds--by which the yoke is made fast to the neck (Jer 5:5). yokes--literally, the carved piece of wood attached at both ends to the two yokes on the necks of a pair of oxen, so as to connect them. The plural is used, as he was to wear one himself, and give the others to the ambassadors;
