Strong's Lexicon sabbal: Porter, burden-bearer Original Word: סַבָּל Word Origin: Derived from the root סָבַל (sabal), meaning "to bear" or "to carry." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concept can be found in terms like "φορτίον" (phortion - G5413), meaning "burden" or "load," which appears in passages such as Matthew 11:30, "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Usage: The term "sabbal" refers to a person who carries burdens, often used in the context of laborers or porters who are responsible for transporting goods or heavy loads. It emphasizes the physical act of bearing weight and the role of individuals who perform such tasks. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the role of a sabbal was crucial in a society that relied heavily on manual labor for construction, agriculture, and trade. Porters were essential in transporting goods across long distances, especially in a time before mechanized transport. The sabbal would have been a common sight in marketplaces, construction sites, and during large communal projects, such as the building of the temple or city walls.
