It is used to describe both physical and metaphorical burdens, encompassing the challenges and trials that individuals or communities may face.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of a burden was both literal and metaphorical. Physically, burdens were the heavy loads carried by people or animals, essential for trade and daily life. Metaphorically, burdens represented the struggles and responsibilities of life, including social, economic, and spiritual challenges. The Israelites, like many ancient cultures, understood life as a journey where burdens were inevitable, yet they also believed in divine assistance to bear these burdens.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2959.htm">tarach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a burden<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>burden (1), load (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">טֹ֫רַח</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>budren</b></font>, figurative <font class="hebrew2">הָיוּ עָלַי לָטֹ֑רַח</font> <font class="hebrew2">נִלְאֵיתִי נְשׂא׃</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/1-14.htm">Isaiah 1:14</a> <em>they are become a burden on me, I am weary of bearing</em>; <font class="hebrew2">אֵיכָה אֶשָּׂא טָרְחֲכֶם</font> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/1-12.htm">Deuteronomy 1:12</a> (+ <font class="hebrew2">מַשַּׂאֲכֶם וְרֵיבְכֶם</font>) <em>how can I bear the burden of you</em>?
