Ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push with your horns (Ezek. 34:21).
Thou cleavest for them every shoulder (Ezek. 29:7).
That they may serve Jehovah with one shoulder (Zeph. 3:9).
Unto us a Child is born, and the government shall be upon His shoulder (Isa. 9:6).
The key of the house of David will I put upon his shoulder (Isa. 22:22).
