Strong's Lexicon marpes: Resting place, support, or relief. Original Word: מִרְפָשׂ Word Origin: Derived from the root רָפַס (raphas), which means to trample or tread down. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar essence of rest and relief is ἀνάπαυσις (anapausis), Strong's Greek #372. Usage: The term "marpes" is used to denote a place or state of rest, relief, or support. It conveys the idea of a physical or metaphorical place where one finds respite or comfort. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often implies a sense of divine or spiritual relief provided by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of rest and relief was deeply intertwined with the covenant relationship between God and His people. The Sabbath, for instance, was a day of rest instituted by God as a sign of His covenant. Similarly, the idea of a "resting place" was not only physical but also spiritual, symbolizing trust and reliance on God's provision and protection.
