Strong's Lexicon mashsha: Load, burden, tribute Original Word: מַשָּׁא Word Origin: Derived from the root נָשָׂא (nasa), meaning "to lift, carry, or bear." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5413 (phortion) - A Greek term used in the New Testament to describe a burden or load, often in a metaphorical sense, as seen in Galatians 6:5, "For each one should carry his own load." Usage: The term "mashsha" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a physical load or burden that is carried. It can also refer to a figurative burden, such as a responsibility or obligation. In some contexts, it is used to describe a tribute or levy imposed on a people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of a burden was both literal and metaphorical. Physically, burdens were carried by people or animals, often as part of daily labor or travel. Metaphorically, burdens could represent the weight of leadership, sin, or divine judgment. The idea of tribute as a burden reflects the socio-political realities of the ancient Near East, where subject peoples were often required to pay tribute to their overlords.
