Berean Strong's Lexicon mashshaah: Tribute, burden, or load Original Word: מַשָּׂאָה Word Origin: Derived from the root נָשָׂא (nasa), meaning "to lift, carry, or bear." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is φόρος (phoros), meaning "tribute" or "tax," and βάρος (baros), meaning "weight" or "burden." Usage: The term "mashshaah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a burden or load, often in the context of a tribute or levy imposed on a people. It can also refer to a physical burden that is carried. The word conveys the idea of something that is lifted or borne, whether it be a literal load or a figurative obligation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, tributes were common as a form of taxation or obligation imposed by a ruling power on a subjugated people. These tributes could be in the form of goods, labor, or money. The concept of bearing a burden also has deep roots in the agrarian and nomadic lifestyles of ancient Israel, where physical labor and carrying loads were part of daily life.
