Strong's Lexicon haphugah: Relief, respite, intermission Original Word: הֲפֻגָה Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּגַע (paga), which means "to meet, encounter, or make intercession." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concept can be found in words like ἀνάπαυσις (anapausis - G372), meaning "rest" or "relief," which is used in the New Testament to describe spiritual rest and refreshment. Usage: The term "haphugah" refers to a period of relief or respite, often in the context of a temporary cessation of hardship or distress. It implies a break or pause from ongoing difficulties, providing a moment of rest or reprieve. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, periods of relief or respite were significant, especially in the context of agricultural cycles, warfare, or spiritual practices. The concept of "haphugah" would resonate with the Israelites' experiences of divine intervention and deliverance, as well as the natural rhythms of life that included times of rest and restoration.
