In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe the imposition of burdens, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. It conveys the idea of placing a heavy load that can be difficult to bear.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of burdens was well understood in both literal and metaphorical senses. Physical burdens were common in daily life, with laborers and animals often tasked with carrying heavy loads. Metaphorically, burdens could refer to societal, legal, or religious obligations. In Jewish culture, the Pharisees were known for imposing strict interpretations of the law, which were seen as burdensome to the people.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 5412</b> <i>phortízō</i> – overload (pack up), causing someone to be (literally) "<i>weighted</i>-down." <a href="/greek/5413.htm">See 5413</a> (<i>phortion</i>).</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 the same as <a href="/greek/5413.htm">phortion</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to load<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>heavy-laden (1), weigh...down (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 5412: φορτίζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">φορτίζω</span></span>; perfect passive participle <span class="greek2">πεφορτισμένος</span>; (<span class="greek2">φόρτος</span>, which see); <span class="accented">to place a burden upon, to load</span>: <span class="greek2">φορτίζειν</span> <span class="greek2">τινα</span> <span class="greek2">φορτίον</span> (on the double accusative see <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 149 (130)), to load one with a burden (of rites and unwarranted precepts), <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-46.htm">Luke 11:46</a>; <span class="greek2">πεφορτισμένος</span> 'heavy laden' (with the burdensome requirements of the Mosaic law and of tradition, and with the consciousness of sin), <a href="/interlinear/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28</a>.
