Strong's Lexicon pugath: Cessation, weariness, respite Original Word: פוּגָה Word Origin: Derived from the root פּוּג (pug), which means to grow weary or to cease. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concepts can be found in words like ἀνάπαυσις (anapausis - G372) meaning rest or cessation, and ἄνεσις (anesis - G425) meaning relief or relaxation. Usage: The term "pugath" is used to denote a state of cessation or a pause, often in the context of relief from labor or distress. It conveys the idea of a temporary rest or a break from continuous activity, allowing for recovery or refreshment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of rest and cessation was deeply embedded in the rhythm of life, as seen in the observance of the Sabbath. The idea of taking a break from labor was not only a physical necessity but also a spiritual practice, reflecting trust in God's provision and sovereignty. The use of "pugath" would resonate with the agrarian society of ancient Israel, where periods of rest were essential for both people and the land.
