It can denote the hardships or sufferings that individuals endure, whether due to labor, oppression, or personal trials.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5445.htm">sabal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a load, burden<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>burden (1), burdens (1), forced labor (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">סֵ֫בֶל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>load, burden</b></font>;
