Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is βάρος (baros), which also means burden or weight. This is seen in passages like Galatians 6:2, "Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."

Usage: The Hebrew word "netel" refers to a physical or metaphorical burden or load. It is used to describe something that is carried, whether it be a literal weight or a figurative responsibility or hardship. In the biblical context, it often conveys the idea of a heavy load that one must bear, sometimes imposed by others or by circumstances.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of bearing burdens was both a physical reality and a metaphor for life's challenges. Laborers and animals often carried heavy loads, and this imagery was used to describe the spiritual and emotional burdens people faced. The idea of burdens is prevalent in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the agrarian lifestyle and the social and religious obligations of the time.
