Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of bearing burdens is βάρος (baros), Strong's Greek 922, which also means weight or burden. Usage: The Hebrew word סֹבֵל (sobel) or סֻבָּל (subbal) refers to a burden or load that is carried. It is often used in the context of physical burdens, such as those carried by laborers or animals. The term can also be metaphorically applied to emotional or spiritual burdens, representing the weight of responsibility, sin, or suffering. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of bearing burdens was a common part of daily life. Laborers and animals were often employed to carry heavy loads, whether in agriculture, construction, or trade.
