Could Genesis 21:14 say "...and he (Abraham) gave to Hagar there the yoke of 
her shoulder (her shoulder yoke?) and the boy..." ?
 
I saw on the internet that people used to carry heavy things on wood shoulder 
yokes, so maybe Hagar used one to carry her things when she was sent away by 
Abraham. I don't know if any translator ever translated it this way, or if it 
can actually say this or not.
