Can these bones come back to life?'': The significance of head and neck anatomy in the Old Testament.
Surface features of the head and neck occur many times in the rich imagery of the Old Testament, giving rise to such proverbial phrases as ''up to my neck'' and ''by the skin of my teeth.'' Some references are simply descriptive of people and events (skulls, e.g., are noted only when crushed in dramatic deaths), and there are occasional medical references. In metaphorical passages, teeth inspire terror, eyes convey the need for care and protection, and a dry throat represents the frustration of unanswered prayer. The mouth, lips, and ears feature often as the channels of communication for the divine word or for sin. From the erotic imagery of the Song of Songs to the despair of Job, appearances are highly significant. Hair, e.g., can be a sign of beauty (in men or women); uncut, it can be a sign of devotion to God; unkempt, it can signify mourning or shame; and its care is part of ritual and clinical cleanliness. Lips and earlobes have to be cleansed for God's service. Life-long slaves have their ears pierced, and a nose ring signifies betrothal. Jewelry and collars are worn around the neck, which may also bear burdens on a yoke (to which sin and oppression are likened).
