Strong's Lexicon sunanapauomai: To rest with, to find rest together Original Word: συναναπαύομαι Word Origin: From the preposition σύν (sun, meaning "with") and the verb ἀναπαύομαι (anapauomai, meaning "to rest" or "to refresh"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συναναπαύομαι, the concept of rest is prevalent in the Old Testament. Strong's Hebrew entries such as 5117 (נוּחַ, nuach) meaning "to rest" or "to settle down," and 7673 (שָׁבַת, shabath) meaning "to cease" or "to rest," capture similar themes of rest and cessation. Usage: The verb συναναπαύομαι is used to describe the act of resting or finding refreshment together with others. It implies a shared experience of rest or relief, often in a spiritual or emotional sense. This term suggests a communal aspect of rest, where individuals find solace and rejuvenation in the company of one another. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of rest was not only physical but also carried spiritual and emotional connotations. Rest was often associated with peace, tranquility, and the cessation of labor or struggle. In the context of early Christianity, communal rest would have been significant, as believers gathered together for worship, fellowship, and mutual encouragement. The idea of resting together would have resonated with the early church's emphasis on community and shared faith.
