HARNESS . See, generally, Armour, which RV [Note: Revised Version.] substitutes in most places for AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘harness.’ Similarly ‘harnessed’ ( Exodus 13:18 ) becomes ‘armed,’ and the ‘well harnessed’ camp of 1Ma 4:7 becomes ‘fortified.’ For ‘the joints of the harness’ of 1 Kings 22:34 RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] substitutes ‘the lower armour and the breastplate,’ the former being probably ‘the tassets or jointed appendages of the cuirass, covering the abdomen’ (Skinner, Cent. Bible, in loc .). The only passage where ‘harness’ as a verb has its modern signification is Jeremiah 46:4 ‘harness the horses,’ the verb in the original being that used in Genesis 46:29 , Exodus 14:6 etc. for yoking the horses to the chariot.
