Strong's Lexicon mishbath: Rest, cessation Original Word: מִשְׁבָּת Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁבַת (shavath), meaning "to cease" or "to rest." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of rest is "σάββατον" (sabbaton), Strong's Greek 4521, which refers to the Sabbath or a period of rest. Usage: The term "mishbath" refers to a state of rest or cessation from work. It is closely related to the concept of the Sabbath, a day of rest instituted by God. The word emphasizes the idea of stopping or pausing from regular labor or activity, reflecting a divine command for rest and reflection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of rest was deeply embedded in the religious and social fabric of society. The Sabbath, a weekly day of rest, was a sign of the covenant between God and Israel, reminding the people of God's creation and their deliverance from Egypt. The idea of rest extended beyond the weekly Sabbath to include sabbatical years and Jubilee, emphasizing trust in God's provision and care.
