The meaning of Harness in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
Heb. 'asar, "to bind;" hence the act of fastening animals to a cart (I Samuel 6:7,10; Jeremiah 46:4, etc.). An Old English word for "armour;" Heb. neshek (II Chronicles 9:24). Heb. shiryan, a coat of mail (I Kings 22:34; 2Chr. 18:33; rendered "breastplate" in Isaiah 59:17). The children of Israel passed out of Egypt "harnessed" (Exodus 13:18), i.e., in an orderly manner, and as if to meet a foe. The word so rendered is probably a derivative from Hebrew hamesh (i.e., "five"), and may denote that they went up in five divisions, viz., the van, centre, two wings, and rear-guard.
