Strong's Lexicon natil: Burden, load Original Word: נְטִיל Word Origin: Derived from the root נטל (natal), which means "to lift" or "to bear." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is βάρος (baros), which also means "weight" or "burden." This is seen in Galatians 6:2, where believers are instructed to "carry one another’s burdens." Usage: The term "natil" refers to a physical or metaphorical burden or load. It is used to describe something that is carried or borne, whether it be a physical weight or a figurative responsibility or obligation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of bearing burdens was both a literal and metaphorical part of daily life. Physical burdens were common in an agrarian society, where carrying loads of produce or materials was a regular task. Metaphorically, burdens could also refer to responsibilities, duties, or the weight of leadership and decision-making. The idea of bearing burdens is deeply embedded in the Hebrew understanding of community and mutual support, as seen in various laws and teachings that emphasize helping one another.
