in deuteronomy 1:12, the two words signifying "load" or "burden" appear to
have the same basic meaning.

likewise, deuteronomy 1:13, the three words signifying "intelligence,"
"knowledge," or "wisdom" appear to enjoy a very similar base meaning.

how is it possible to know which nuanced direction each of the words shifts
(north, south, east or west from base meaning) in this instance; ... and in
order to avoid the conclusion of pleonasm?

regards,

fred burlingame
