Strong's Lexicon shebash: To cease, to rest, to desist Original Word: שְׁבַשׁ Word Origin: Derived from a Semitic root related to the concept of rest or cessation. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of rest is "καταπαύω" (katapauō - Strong's Greek 2664), which also means to cease or to rest, and is used in the New Testament to describe the rest that believers enter through faith in Christ (Hebrews 4:10). Usage: The Hebrew verb "shebash" conveys the idea of stopping or ceasing from activity. It is often used in contexts where rest or cessation from labor is emphasized, reflecting a pause or a break from continuous action. This term is closely associated with the concept of Sabbath rest, a divinely instituted period of rest and reflection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of rest was deeply embedded in the rhythm of life, particularly through the observance of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was a day set apart for rest and worship, rooted in the creation narrative where God rested on the seventh day. This practice was not only a physical cessation from labor but also a spiritual act of trust and obedience to God's commandments. The idea of rest extended beyond the weekly Sabbath to include sabbatical years and Jubilee, emphasizing themes of restoration and renewal.
