Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root סָבַל (sabal), which means "to bear" or "to carry."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2218 (ζυγός, zygos): This Greek term refers to a "yoke" or "burden," often used metaphorically to describe the obligations or hardships one must bear. It is used in the New Testament to illustrate the concept of taking on Christ's yoke, which is easy and light compared to the burdens of the world.
• G2749 (κεῖμαι, keimai): While not a direct equivalent, this Greek word means "to lie" or "to be laid down," and can imply the state of being under a burden or obligation. It is used in contexts where something is set or appointed, often with the connotation of a burden or responsibility.

In summary, סֹבֶל (sovel) encapsulates the notion of a burden or load, both in a literal and metaphorical sense, and is intricately connected to the broader biblical themes of endurance, support, and divine assistance in bearing life's burdens.

Usage: The word סֹבֶל appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote a physical or metaphorical burden. It is used in contexts where the emphasis is on the weight or heaviness of what is being carried.

Context: • Occurrences in Scripture: The term סֹבֶל is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but it carries significant meaning in the passages where it appears. It is often associated with the concept of bearing a burden, whether it be physical labor or a metaphorical weight such as suffering or responsibility.
• Theological Implications: In a theological context, סֹבֶל can be seen as a representation of the burdens that individuals or communities bear, whether due to sin, oppression, or divine testing. The concept of bearing burdens is also linked to themes of endurance, patience, and reliance on divine strength.
• Example in Scripture: While specific verses using סֹבֶל are not directly quoted here, the concept is echoed in various passages where burdens are discussed, such as in the context of labor or the carrying of responsibilities.
• Related Concepts: The idea of bearing burdens is a recurring theme in the Bible, often connected with the call to support one another and to find rest in God. This is reflected in the New Testament teachings of Jesus, who invites the weary to find rest in Him.
