Strong's Lexicon kobed: Weight, heaviness, burden Original Word: כֹּבֶד Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּבֵד (kaved), which means "to be heavy" or "to be honored." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G922 (baros): Meaning "weight" or "burden," used in contexts such as Galatians 6:2, "Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." - G5413 (phortion): Meaning "load" or "burden," as seen in Matthew 11:30, "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Usage: The Hebrew word "kobed" primarily denotes a sense of weight or heaviness, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It can refer to physical weight or burdens, as well as the figurative weight of responsibility, honor, or glory. In the context of the Bible, it often conveys the idea of something substantial or significant, whether it be a physical load or a moral or spiritual burden. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of weight was often associated with value and importance. For example, gold and silver were measured by weight, and a person's honor or reputation could be described in terms of "weightiness." The idea of bearing a burden was also significant in a society where physical labor was a daily reality, and the metaphorical use of "kobed" to describe spiritual or moral burdens would have resonated deeply with the people.
