Usage: The Hebrew verb "natal" primarily conveys the action of lifting, bearing, or carrying something. It is often used in contexts where a physical or metaphorical burden is being taken up or carried. The term can imply both the physical act of lifting and the figurative sense of bearing responsibility or burden.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of carrying or bearing was significant, often associated with responsibilities or duties. The concept of bearing a burden was not only physical but also spiritual and communal. The Israelites, for example, were familiar with the idea of bearing the Ark of the Covenant, which symbolized God's presence and their covenantal responsibilities. The act of lifting or carrying could also symbolize leadership or servitude, reflecting one's role within the community or before God.
