bond
mo.ser denotes restraints that are put on, broken, torn away, loosened, or cast off, often in scenes of release from a yoke or service.
The occurrences consistently portray restraints: they may be made and placed on a neck, strengthened, or removed by breaking, tearing, loosening, or casting them away. The contexts include the wild donkey, captive Jerusalem, and persons no longer made to serve, while the term also occurs in calls to reject imposed restraint.

The plural forms occur in actions involving restraint and release: in Jeremiah 27:2 the APB renders the instruction to make them and put them on the neck, while in Job 39:5 they are loosened from the wild donkey. In Jeremiah 30:8, Psalm 107:14, and Psalm 2:3, the APB renders their removal by tearing or casting away; Isaiah 52:2 similarly addresses captive Jerusalem's neck.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the verses, the APB commonly presents the term as “bonds,” especially where they are strengthened, torn, loosened, or cast away. Those English renderings confirm the clauses' restraint-and-release imagery rather than supplying a separate lexical distinction.
