The term is used throughout Scripture to describe various forms of responsibility, suffering, and spiritual challenges. Old Testament Usage In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word for burden is "massa," which often refers to a load or weight that is physically carried. For example, in <a href="/exodus/23-5.htm">Exodus 23:5</a>, the law instructs, "If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help them with it." Here, the burden is a literal load that requires assistance to bear. The prophets frequently used the term "burden" to describe the weight of a prophetic message. In <a href="/isaiah/13.htm">Isaiah 13:1</a>, it is written, "This is the burden against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw." The burden in this context is a divine message of judgment that the prophet is compelled to deliver, often carrying significant emotional and spiritual weight. New Testament Usage In the New Testament, the Greek word "phortion" is used to describe burdens. Jesus speaks of burdens in a spiritual sense, offering relief to those who are weary. In <a href="/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28-30</a>, Jesus invites, "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Here, Jesus contrasts the heavy burdens imposed by religious legalism with the light burden of following Him. The Apostle Paul also addresses the concept of burdens in <a href="/galatians/6-2.htm">Galatians 6:2</a>, where he instructs, "Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." This passage emphasizes the Christian duty to support one another in times of difficulty, reflecting the communal aspect of bearing burdens. Spiritual and Symbolic Significance Burdens in the Bible often symbolize the trials and responsibilities that believers face in their spiritual journey. They can represent sin, guilt, or the challenges of living a faithful life. <a href="/psalms/55-22.htm">Psalm 55:22</a> encourages believers to cast their burdens on the Lord: "Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken." The concept of burden also extends to the responsibilities of leadership and ministry. In <a href="/numbers/11-11.htm">Numbers 11:11-17</a>, Moses expresses the weight of leading the Israelites, and God provides assistance by appointing seventy elders to share the burden. This illustrates the importance of shared responsibility and divine support in leadership roles. Practical Implications for Believers For Christians, understanding the biblical concept of burdens involves recognizing both the personal and communal aspects of faith. Believers are called to bear their own burdens with the help of Christ, who offers rest and strength. Simultaneously, they are encouraged to support others, reflecting the love and compassion of Christ within the community of faith.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><a href="/psalms/81-6.htm">Psalm 81:6</a> I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.

In the Old Testament: In the Old Testament more than one word is rendered "burden." (1) massa', from a root nasa' "he lifted up." Thus literally any load is called massa' (<a href="/exodus/23-5.htm">Exodus 23:5</a> <a href="/numbers/4-15.htm">Numbers 4:15, 24, 27</a> <a href="/2_kings/5-17.htm">2 Kings 5:17</a>; <a href="/2_kings/8-9.htm">2 Kings 8:9</a>). Figuratively, people are a burden (<a href="/numbers/11-11.htm">Numbers 11:11, 17</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/1-12.htm">Deuteronomy 1:12</a> <a href="/2_samuel/15-33.htm">2 Samuel 15:33</a>; <a href="/2_samuel/19-35.htm">2 Samuel 19:35</a>). A man may be a burden to himself (<a href="/job/7-20.htm">Job 7:20</a>). Iniquities are a burden (<a href="/psalms/38-4.htm">Psalm 38:4</a>). Taxes may be a burden (<a href="/hosea/8-10.htm">Hosea 8:10</a>). (2) In both the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) massa' is translated "burden," as applied to certain prophetic utterances; but both the American Revised Version, margin and the Revised Version, margin have "oracle." Examples are <a href="/isaiah/13-1.htm">Isaiah 13:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/14-28.htm">Isaiah 14:28</a>, and often; <a href="/jeremiah/23-33.htm">Jeremiah 23:33, 36, 38</a>, no marginal reading; <a href="/ezekiel/12-10.htm">Ezekiel 12:10</a> <a href="/nahum/1-1.htm">Nahum 1:1</a> <a href="/habakkuk/1-1.htm">Habakkuk 1:1</a> <a href="/zechariah/9-1.htm">Zechariah 9:1</a>; <a href="/zechariah/12-1.htm">Zechariah 12:1</a> <a href="/malachi/1-1.htm">Malachi 1:1</a>. As was natural under the circumstances, such oracles usually denounced judgment upon place or people. Hence, probably the translation "burden." But some of these prophetic utterances do not contain denunciation or threat (<a href="/nasb/zechariah/12.htm">Zechariah 12</a>). The passage in Jeremiah, moreover, implies that the prophet used the term in the sense of "oraele," for scoffers are reproved for perverting the word and giving it the meaning "burden." Massa', therefore, means something taken up with solemnity upon the lips, whether threatening or not, and the rendering, "burden," ought most likely to be given up. The word mas'-eth, of the same derivation as massa', is applied to foolish oracles (<a href="/lamentations/2-14.htm">Lamentations 2:14</a> the King James Version, oracles the American Standard Revised Version, burdens the American Revised Version, margin, burdens the Revised Version (British and American), oracles the Revised Version, margin; <a href="/amos/5-11.htm">Amos 5:11</a>, burdens the King James Version, exactions the American Standard Revised Version and the Revised Version (British and American)). Massa' is used also in <a href="/proverbs/30-1.htm">Proverbs 30:1</a> and <a href="/proverbs/31-1.htm">Proverbs 31:1</a>, and is variously rendered prophecy (the King James Version), oracle (American Revised Version), burden, or the name of the speaker's country (Revised Version margin, the American Revised Version, margin), oracle (Revised Version). The reading is doubtful, but probably the reference is to the speaker's country-"Jakeh, of Massa" (compare <a href="/genesis/25-14.htm">Genesis 25:14</a>), "Lemuel king of Massa." Other words translated "burden" are from the root cabhal, "to bear a load" (<a href="/nehemiah/4-17.htm">Nehemiah 4:17</a> <a href="/psalms/81-6.htm">Psalm 81:6</a> <a href="/1_kings/11-28.htm">1 Kings 11:28</a>; King James Version margin, charge the King James Version, labor the American Standard Revised Version and the Revised Version (British and American), burden the American Revised Version, margin and the Revised Version, margin, <a href="/exodus/5-4.htm">Exodus 5:4, 5</a>; <a href="/exodus/6-6.htm">Exodus 6:6, 7</a> <a href="/isaiah/10-27.htm">Isaiah 10:27</a> <a href="/isaiah/14-25.htm">Isaiah 14:25</a>). 2. In the New Testament: In the New Testament several Greek words mean "burden." (1) baros, "something heavy." Burdens of the day (<a href="/matthew/20-12.htm">Matthew 20:12</a>), the burden of duty to be borne, a difficult requirement (<a href="/acts/15-28.htm">Acts 15:28</a> <a href="/revelation/2-24.htm">Revelation 2:24</a>). The burden of one's moral infirmities (<a href="/galatians/6-2.htm">Galatians 6:2</a>). (2) phortion, "something to be borne." The obligation which Christ imposes (<a href="/matthew/11-30.htm">Matthew 11:30</a>); the legal ordinances of the Pharisees (<a href="/luke/11-46.htm">Luke 11:46</a>); a man's individual responsibility (<a href="/galatians/6-5.htm">Galatians 6:5</a>). Whether any clear and consistent distinction can be made between these two words is doubtful. Probably, however, phortion refers to the load as something to be borne, whether heavy or light, whilst baros may be an oppressive load. According to Lightfoot baros may suggest a load of which a man may rightly rid himself should occasion serve, but phortion a burden which he is expected to bear, as every soldier carries his own pack. But most likely too much weight should not be given to these distinctions. (3) There is also the word gomos, "the freight" of a ship (<a href="/acts/21-3.htm">Acts 21:3</a>); compare ogkos, weight or encumbrance which impedes the runner's progress to the goal (<a href="/hebrews/12-1.htm">Hebrews 12:1</a>), with particular reference to the superfluous flesh which an athlete seeks to get rid of in training (compare <a href="/1_corinthians/9-24.htm">1 Corinthians 9:24-27</a>), and figuratively whatever hinders the full development of Christian manhood.
