In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the weight of legalistic demands or religious burdens imposed by leaders.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, "dusbastaktos" reflects the heavy burdens that religious leaders, particularly the Pharisees, placed upon the people through strict adherence to the law and additional traditions. This term captures the tension between the liberating message of Jesus and the oppressive legalism of the religious authorities of His time.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1419</b> <i>dysbástaktos</i> (an adjective, derived from <a href="/greek/1418.htm">1418</a> <i>/dys-</i>, "problematic, difficult" and <a href="/greek/941.htm">941</a> <i>/bastázō</i>, "bear along") – properly, doubly heavy, describing what is <i>difficult</i> or oppressive to carry (bear). <a href="/greek/1419.htm">1419</a> (<i>dysbástaktos</i>) is very emphatic because <i>both</i> of the roots convey "<i>difficulty</i>" ("<i>grievous</i> burden").</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1418.htm">dus-</a> and bastaktos (borne); from <a href="/greek/941.htm">bastazó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>hard to be borne, oppressive<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hard to bear (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1419: δυσβάστακτος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">δυσβάστακτος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">δυσβάστακτον</span> (<span class="greek2">βαστάζω</span>), <span class="accented">hard</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
