מַעֲמָסָה f. (from the root עָמַס), a burden, Zechariah 12:3, “I will make Jerusalem אֶבֶן מַעֲמָסָה וְגו׳ a stone of burden to all peoples.” The meaning of this has been well illustrated by Jerome on the passage: “Mos est in urbibus Palœstinœ, et usque hodie per omnem Judœam vetus consuetudo servatur, ut in viculis, oppidis et castellis rotundi ponantur lapides gravissimi ponderis, ad quos juvenes exercere se soleant, et eos pro varietate virium sublevare, alii ad genua, alii usque ad umbilicum, alii ad humeros et caput, nonnulli super verticem, rectis junctisque manibus, magnitudinem virium demonstrantes pondus extollant.”
