וְסִימָן: בַּכָּתֵף יִשָּׂאוּ (במדבר ז׳:ט׳), וְדָרְשׁוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה (ערכין יא): אֵין יִשָּׂאוּ אֶלָּא לְשׁוֹן שִׁירָה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: שְׂאוּ זִמְרָה וּתְנוּ תֹף, וּמִקְרָא זֶה נֶאֱמַר בְּמַשָּׂא בְּנֵי קְהָת, שֶׁהָיוּ נוֹשְׂאִין בַּכָּתֵף אֶת הָאָרוֹן, הַיְנוּ בְּחִינַת עֹל תּוֹרָה:

This is the import of “on their shoulder *yisa’u* (they did carry)” (Numbers 7:9). Concerning this our Sages, of blessed memory, expounded: *yiSA’U* is nothing other than song, as is stated (Psalms 81:3), “*SA’U* (Raise up) a song and sound a timbrel” (Arakhin 11a). This verse appears in connection with the undertakings of the Kehatites, who hoisted the Ark onto their shoulders—this being the concept of the yoke of Torah.
