The literal sense of the word seems to be &#8220;with the head thrown back and the throat exposed.&#8221; Various suggestions have been made as to the precise significance of the word in this passage. Some have considered that the metaphor is from the manner of treating victims about to be sacrificed. Little help, however, can be derived from these considerations.
