G1645 elaphrós
ἐλαφρός
el-af-ros'
light
Looking for Hebrew H1645 geresh? It has the same number in Strong's Hebrew lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of G1645. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.
elaphrós appears twice in Scripture, in Matthew 11:30 and 2 Corinthians 4:17. In the Doxa app, open each of these verses, keep your notes on them, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.

In the King James Version

Derivation
probably akin to G1643 (ἐλαύνω) and the base of G1640 (ἐλάσσων);
Appears 2 times in Scripture
“For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””
“For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory that is far beyond comparison.”
