Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּבֵד (kaved), which means "to be heavy" or "to be weighty."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar concept of difficulty or hardship is found in Strong's Greek Number G970, βάρος (baros), which also conveys the idea of weight or burden. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe burdensome situations or the weight of responsibility and challenges faced by individuals.

In summary, כְּבֵדֻת (kevedut) encapsulates the idea of difficulty and burden, drawing from the broader Hebrew understanding of weightiness, both in physical and metaphorical terms. It serves as a reminder of the challenges that can weigh heavily on individuals, requiring strength and resilience to overcome.

Usage: This word is used in the context of describing situations or conditions that are burdensome or difficult to bear. It is not frequently found in the Hebrew Bible but is understood in the context of weightiness or heaviness, both physically and metaphorically.

Context: The Hebrew term כְּבֵדֻת (kevedut) is rooted in the concept of heaviness or weight, which can be applied to both physical and metaphorical contexts. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the root כָּבֵד (kaved) is often associated with the idea of glory or honor, as these concepts carry a sense of weightiness or significance. However, in the case of כְּבֵדֻת, the focus is on the negative aspect of heaviness, implying a burden or difficulty that one must endure. This term captures the essence of trials and challenges that are cumbersome and require perseverance. The notion of heaviness can also be linked to the heart or spirit, indicating a state of being overwhelmed or oppressed by circumstances.
