Berean Strong's Lexicon anapauó: To rest, to refresh, to give rest Original Word: ἀναπαύω Word Origin: From the preposition ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and the verb παύω (pauo, meaning "to cease" or "to rest"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H5117 (נוּחַ, nuach): To rest, to settle down - H7673 (שָׁבַת, shabath): To cease, to rest Usage: The verb ἀναπαύω primarily means to cause or permit someone to cease from any movement or labor in order to recover and collect strength. It can also imply a sense of refreshment or repose. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of spiritual rest and refreshment provided by Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, rest was a significant concept, often associated with the cessation of labor and the enjoyment of leisure. In Jewish culture, rest was deeply connected to the Sabbath, a day set apart for rest and worship. The idea of rest in the New Testament extends beyond physical rest to include spiritual peace and refreshment found in Christ.
