Berean Strong's Lexicon saan: Load, burden Original Word: סָאָן Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be pointed or sharp Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of burden is "βάρος" (G922), which also means weight or burden. Usage: The Hebrew word "סָאָן" (saan) is used to denote a load or burden. It conveys the idea of something that is carried, often implying a weight that is borne by a person or animal. In the context of the Bible, it can refer to both physical and metaphorical burdens. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of carrying burdens was a common part of daily life. People and animals alike were often tasked with transporting goods, water, and other necessities. The imagery of burdens is frequently used in the Bible to describe the weight of sin, responsibility, or oppression. Understanding this cultural context helps to illuminate the metaphorical uses of "saan" in Scripture.
