It is used in the context of something that is borne, often implying a weight or responsibility that is carried by an individual or group.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of carrying burdens was both a literal and metaphorical part of daily life. Physical burdens were common in agrarian and nomadic lifestyles, where carrying loads of goods, water, or materials was necessary. Metaphorically, burdens could also represent responsibilities, obligations, or the weight of sin and guilt. The Hebrew culture placed significant emphasis on community and mutual support, often sharing burdens to alleviate individual strain.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6006.htm">amas</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a load, burden<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>heavy (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">מַעֲמָסָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>load, burden</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">אֶבֶן מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/zechariah/12-3.htm">Zechariah 12:3</a> <em>a stone of burden</em> = heavy stone, hard to lift. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>burdensome <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6006.htm">amac</a>; burdensomeness -- burdensome. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6006.htm">amac</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>מַֽעֲמָסָה֙ מעמסה ma‘ămāsāh ma·‘ă·mā·sāh maamaSah<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/zechariah/12-3.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Zechariah 12:3</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/zechariah/12.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">יְרוּשָׁלִַ֜ם אֶ֤בֶן <b> מַֽעֲמָסָה֙ </b> לְכָל־ הָ֣עַמִּ֔ים</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/zechariah/12.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Jerusalem <span class="itali">a heavy</span> stone<br><a href="/kjvs/zechariah/12.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> Jerusalem <span class="itali">a burdensome</span> stone<br><a href="/interlinear/zechariah/12-3.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Jerusalem stone <span class="itali">A heavy</span> for all the peoples<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4614.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4614.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4614<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/maamasah_4614.htm">ma·‘ă·mā·sāh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4613.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4613"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4613" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4615.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4615"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4615" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
