Strong's Lexicon menuchah: Rest, resting place, repose, tranquility Original Word: מְנוּחָה Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּחַ (nuach), meaning "to rest" or "to settle down." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2663 (κατάπαυσις, katapausis): Rest, cessation - G373 (ἀνάπαυσις, anapausis): Rest, refreshment Usage: The Hebrew word "menuchah" primarily denotes a state of rest or tranquility. It is often used to describe a place or condition of peace and repose, free from disturbance or turmoil. In the biblical context, "menuchah" can refer to physical rest, such as the rest from labor, or a more spiritual rest, symbolizing peace and security in God's presence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, rest was a significant concept, both physically and spiritually. The Sabbath, a day of rest, was instituted by God as a sign of His covenant with Israel, reflecting the rest He took after creation. "Menuchah" also carries eschatological significance, pointing to the ultimate rest and peace found in God's kingdom. The Promised Land was often seen as a "resting place" for the Israelites, a fulfillment of God's promise to give them a land of peace and prosperity.
