This does not appear to be ever used in the scriptures in the modern sense of the word, but signifies 'the thing carried,' 'baggage.' Judges 18: 21; 1 Sam. 17: 22; Isa. 10: 28; Acts 21: 15. The meaning in Isa. 46: 1 is probably that the idols which were once 'carried' with joy in festal processions (cf. Amos 5: 26) are now 'lifted up as loads' to be carried on beasts of burden.
