Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and the verb βαρέω (bareō, meaning "to weigh down" or "to burden").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐπιβαρέω, the concept of being a burden or imposing a load can be related to Hebrew terms such as כָּבַד (kabed, Strong's H3513), which means "to be heavy" or "to be burdensome." This term is used in the Old Testament to describe physical and metaphorical burdens, similar to the New Testament usage of ἐπιβαρέω. Usage: The verb ἐπιβαρέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of imposing a burden or being a burden to someone. It often conveys the sense of causing inconvenience or hardship. Context: The Greek verb ἐπιβαρέω appears in the New Testament in contexts where the apostle Paul discusses his conduct among the churches. It is used to express the idea of not wanting to be a financial or logistical burden to the believers he was ministering to. This term highlights Paul's commitment to self-sufficiency and his desire to avoid placing any unnecessary strain on the early Christian communities.
