'Task' in the Bible

You will surely wear out, both yourself and these people who are with you, for the task is too heavy for you; you cannot do it alone.

But there are many people; it is the rainy season and we are not able to stand in the open. Nor can the task be done in one or two days, for we have transgressed greatly in this matter.

In charge of the storehouses I appointed Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites, and in addition to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were considered reliable, and it was their task to distribute to their kinsmen.

Thus I purified them from everything foreign and appointed duties for the priests and the Levites, each in his task,

And I set my mind to seek and explore by wisdom concerning all that has been done under heaven. It is a grievous task which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

Because all his days his task is painful and grievous; even at night his mind does not rest. This too is vanity.

For to a person who is good in His sight He has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, while to the sinner He has given the task of gathering and collecting so that he may give to one who is good in God’s sight. This too is vanity and striving after wind.

I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves.

There was a certain man without a dependent, having neither a son nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, his eyes were not satisfied with riches and he never asked, “And for whom am I laboring and depriving myself of pleasure?” This too is vanity and it is a grievous task.

When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the task which has been done on the earth (even though one should never sleep day or night),

For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim,He will be stirred up as in the valley of Gibeon,To do His task, His unusual task,And to work His work, His extraordinary work.

It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert.

Therefore, brethren, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may put in charge of this task.
