Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew terms, the concept of bearing or carrying burdens can be related to several Hebrew words, such as נָשָׂא (nasa, Strong's H5375), which means to lift, carry, or bear, and סָבַל (sabal, Strong's H5445), which means to bear a load or burden. These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of carrying physical or metaphorical burdens, aligning with the usage of βαστάζω in the New Testament. Usage: The verb βαστάζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of carrying or bearing something, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually. It can refer to carrying a physical load, bearing burdens, enduring hardships, or upholding responsibilities. Context: The Greek verb βαστάζω appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, illustrating both literal and metaphorical uses. It is often employed to describe the physical act of carrying or lifting objects, as seen in passages where individuals are instructed to carry their own burdens or those of others. For example, in John 19:17, Jesus is described as carrying His own cross: "Carrying His own cross, He went out to the place of the Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha." Beyond its literal sense, βαστάζω is frequently used metaphorically to convey the idea of enduring or bearing with patience and perseverance. In Galatians 6:2, believers are encouraged to "Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." This usage emphasizes the Christian duty to support and uphold one another in times of difficulty, reflecting the communal and compassionate aspects of the faith. The term also appears in contexts that highlight the endurance of trials and the acceptance of responsibilities. In Romans 15:1, Paul writes, "We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves." Here, βαστάζω underscores the call to selflessness and the importance of bearing with others in love and understanding. Overall, βαστάζω encapsulates a range of meanings that extend from the physical act of carrying to the spiritual and emotional support of others, embodying the Christian principles of service, endurance, and compassion.
