- מַשָּׂא massâʼ · H4853 · heart's desire, carrying, bearing
- טֹרַח (ṭôrach, H2960) ("cumbrance, trouble") and מַשָּׂא (massâʼ, H4853) ("burden") both refer to things that are carried or impose weight or difficulty, though מַשָּׂא (massâʼ, H4853)'s gloss is unusually broad and polysemous ("prophecy," "song," "tribute"), so only one of its several senses overlaps with טֹרַח (ṭôrach, H2960).
- מוּעָקָה mûwʻâqâh · H4157 · burden
- Both words denote burdensome, difficult conditions, trouble or encumbrance in one case and affliction in the other, in the sphere of hardship and burden.
