Strong's Lexicon torach: Burden, hardship Original Word: טֹרַח Word Origin: Derived from the root verb יָרַח (yarach), which means "to be burdensome" or "to be heavy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is βάρος (baros), Strong's Greek #922, which also means weight or burden. Usage: The Hebrew word "torach" refers to a burden or a hardship, often implying a sense of weight or difficulty that one must bear. It is used to describe both physical and metaphorical burdens, encompassing the challenges and trials that individuals or communities may face. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of a burden was both literal and metaphorical. Physically, burdens were the heavy loads carried by people or animals, essential for trade and daily life. Metaphorically, burdens represented the struggles and responsibilities of life, including social, economic, and spiritual challenges. The Israelites, like many ancient cultures, understood life as a journey where burdens were inevitable, yet they also believed in divine assistance to bear these burdens.
