It implies a state of being overwhelmed or oppressed by external pressures or internal struggles. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of being spiritually or emotionally burdened.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being weighed down or burdened was often associated with physical labor, social obligations, or emotional distress. The metaphor of carrying a heavy load was commonly used to describe life's challenges and the human condition. In a biblical context, this term reflects the spiritual and moral burdens that individuals may face, emphasizing the need for divine assistance and relief.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2599</b> <i>katabaréō</i> (<a href="/greek/2596.htm">2596</a> <i>/katá</i>, "all the way <i>down</i>," which intensifies <a href="/greek/916.htm">916</a> <i>/baréō</i>, "to burden") – to burden – literally, "all the way down," <i>to a critical or oppressive degree</i> (especially financially) – i.e. <i>excessively</i> (destructively) burden. <a href="/greek/2599.htm">2599</a> <i>/katabaréō</i> ("burden <i>down</i>") is only used in 2 Cor 12:16.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2599: καταβαρέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καταβαρέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">καταβάρω</span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">κατεβάρησα</span>; properly, <span class="accented">to press down by an imposed weight; to weigh down</span>; metaphorically, <span class="accented">to burden</span>: <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, anyone, <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/12-16.htm">2 Corinthians 12:16</a>.
