Strong's Lexicon sebel: Burden, load, suffering Original Word: סֵבֶל Word Origin: Derived from the root סָבַל (sabal), meaning "to bear" or "to carry." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5413 (phortion): Refers to a load or burden, often used in the New Testament to describe the burdens of the law or personal responsibilities (e.g., Matthew 11:30). - G922 (baros): Denotes weight or burden, used metaphorically for oppressive or heavy burdens (e.g., Galatians 6:2). Usage: The Hebrew word "sebel" primarily refers to a burden or load, often in the context of physical or metaphorical weight that one must carry. It can denote the hardships or sufferings that individuals endure, whether due to labor, oppression, or personal trials. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of bearing burdens was both a literal and metaphorical reality. Laborers and slaves often carried heavy loads as part of their daily work. Metaphorically, burdens could also represent the spiritual and emotional weights borne by individuals or communities, such as sin, oppression, or divine judgment. The idea of bearing burdens is deeply embedded in the cultural and religious consciousness of the Israelites, reflecting their experiences of slavery in Egypt and their journey through the wilderness.
