כָּבַד kâbad · H3513 · to be heavy, to be burdensome
Hebrew כָּבַד (kâbad, H3513) shares the semantic domain of 'burden/weight/heaviness' with Greek βαρύνω (barýnō, G925), both extending from literal weight to figurative burden, affliction, or oppression; the Hebrew root carries broader lexical range including 'glory/honor' (from the sense of 'weightiness/gravity'), but in the aligned contexts where it co-occurs with βαρύνω it functions as the direct Semitic equivalent for the burden/weigh-down sense.
