Origin:
The term "stiffnecked" originated in biblical literature. It was first used in the Old Testament book of Exodus to describe the Israelites' resistance to God's commands to leave Egypt:
"And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not let the people go. And the Lord said to Moses, 'Go to Pharaoh and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord, let My people go, that they may serve Me. But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your territory with frogs.'" (Exodus 8:15-17)
The phrase became a metaphor for stubbornness and resistance, and it has been used in both religious and secular contexts ever since.
