It is used in various contexts, including the physical act of lifting or carrying objects, bearing burdens, and metaphorically bearing sins or guilt. It also conveys the idea of taking away or removing, often in the context of forgiveness, where it signifies the removal of sin or guilt.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of bearing or carrying was significant, both in physical and spiritual terms. The act of carrying burdens was a common part of daily life, whether it involved transporting goods or bearing responsibilities.
