Usage: The term סַבָּל is used in the context of individuals who are responsible for carrying loads or burdens, typically in a labor or service capacity.

Context: The Hebrew term סַבָּל (sabbal) appears in the context of labor and service, specifically referring to those who are tasked with carrying burdens. This role is often associated with manual labor and is indicative of the socio-economic structures present in ancient times, where certain individuals were designated to perform physical tasks for others. The role of a porter was essential in various settings, including construction, transportation, and trade, where the movement of goods and materials was necessary. The term highlights the physical demands placed on individuals in these roles and reflects the broader theme of servitude and labor in biblical narratives.
