A Stiff-Necked-People = Adjective for
the Human condition during Coronavirus Pandemic.
1. Previously an adjective assigned by God to the
Hebrews in the book of Exodus, meaning stubborn, as they held to old ways, and made
the golden calf.
2. Has ironic new meaning, as Jews and Gentiles alike embraced new ways to worship: meaning "persevering," as they held excruciatingly long seders, or Easter services etc., seated awkwardly staring at poorly positioned computer sceens, and/or spent hours looking down at cell phones, during social distancing quarantine--often finding themselves in physical pain from doing so
Inclined at 15 degrees, the weight of the human head exerts a force of 27 lbs. on the cervical vertebrae and scapular
musculature, and at 60 degrees, gravity adds 33 more lbs. So, during
covid 19 social distancing the condition called "A Stiff-Necked-People" has run rampant, & "inflamed" the masses--everybody is getting stiff necks, sore shoulders, or has slept weird hours, &
awoken with cramped muscles, crashed on their couches.
