Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types [3]
2 Corinthians 6:14 (a) The yoke that is used on animals is always an equal one. It should not be larger an one side than on the other. It is not to be put on a large animal and a small one together. The ax and the ass were not to be yoked together, for it would be an unequal yoke. So the Christian and the sinner, the unsaved person, are not to be joined together in marriage, in business, or in anything that constitutes a yoke, for they are not equal.
