Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:12

Theological / Devotional

Cumbrance. That which wearies one, wears out a person. The word thus translated appears again only in Isa. 1:14, and is there rendered “trouble.” The verb form of the word appears but once (Job 37:11), and is translated “wearieth.”

Burden. A weight to be lifted. The same word is translated “exaction” in Neh. 10:31 and “tribute” in 2 Chron. 17:11.

Strife. Disputes, contentions, controversies (see Gen. 13:7; Deut. 19:17).
