Strong's Lexicon margeah: Rest, ease, quiet Original Word: מַרְגֵּעָה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb רָגַע (ragah), which means "to rest" or "to be at ease." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of rest is ἀνάπαυσις (anapausis), Strong's Greek #372, which also means rest or cessation from labor. Usage: The Hebrew word "margeah" refers to a state of rest or tranquility. It is used to describe a condition of peace and calmness, often in contrast to turmoil or distress. In the biblical context, it can imply both physical rest and a deeper, spiritual sense of peace. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, rest was a significant concept, both physically and spiritually. The Sabbath, a day of rest, was central to Jewish life, symbolizing not only physical cessation from labor but also spiritual renewal and trust in God's provision. The idea of rest extended to the land, with the Sabbatical year allowing the land to rest every seven years. "Margeah" captures this broader cultural understanding of rest as a divine gift and a necessary part of life.
