Strong's Lexicon sebal: Load, burden Original Word: סְבַל Word Origin: Derived from the root סָבַל (sabal), meaning "to bear" or "to carry." 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 passages like Galatians 6:2 (BSB): "Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Usage: The Hebrew word "sebal" refers to a physical or metaphorical load or burden. It is used to describe something that is carried, whether it be a literal weight or a figurative responsibility or hardship. The term often conveys the idea of something that is heavy or oppressive, requiring strength and endurance to bear. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of bearing burdens was both a physical reality and a metaphor for life's challenges. Laborers and animals were often tasked with carrying heavy loads, and this imagery was extended to describe the spiritual and emotional burdens people faced. The idea of bearing burdens is also tied to the communal and covenantal aspects of Israelite life, where individuals were expected to support one another in times of need.
