Burden. Is often used figuratively, to denote afflictions, failings, sins, Psalms 38:4; Psalms 55:22; Galatians 6:2; services under the law, Matthew 23:4; official responsibilities, Exodus 18:22; Deuteronomy 1:12; and especially prophetic massages, not always of a threatening character. Isaiah 19:1. In this last sense the Hebrew word may be rendered "oracle." "divine declaration," or "prophecy," as in Proverbs 30:1; Proverbs 31:1. See Jeremiah 23:33-40.
