Strong's Lexicon shebeth: Cessation, rest, inactivity Original Word: שֶׁבֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root verb יָשַׁב (yashab), meaning "to sit" or "to dwell." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4520 (sabbatismos) - A Sabbath rest - G4521 (sabbaton) - The Sabbath Usage: The Hebrew word "shebeth" primarily denotes a state of rest or cessation from work. It is often used in the context of the Sabbath, a day of rest ordained by God. The term emphasizes the importance of pausing from labor and engaging in a 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, as seen in the observance of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was a sign of the covenant between God and Israel, a day set apart for rest and worship. This practice distinguished the Israelites from surrounding nations and served as a reminder of God's creation and deliverance. The idea of rest was not only physical but also spiritual, providing an opportunity for renewal and reflection on God's provision and faithfulness.
