Context: The Hebrew verb נָטַל (natal) is a primitive root that primarily means "to lift" or "to bear." It is used in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often implying the act of carrying or imposing a burden. This term can be found in passages where physical lifting or carrying is described, as well as in metaphorical contexts where responsibilities or obligations are imposed upon individuals or groups.
