Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of rest is ἀνάπαυσις (anapausis), Strong's Greek #372, which also means rest or cessation from labor. Usage: The Hebrew word "margoa" conveys a sense of rest, tranquility, or repose. It is often used to describe a state of peace or calmness, both physically and spiritually. In the biblical context, it can refer to the rest that God provides to His people, a cessation from labor, or a state of inner peace that comes from trusting in God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of rest was deeply embedded in the culture, particularly through the observance of the Sabbath, a day set aside for rest and worship. This idea of rest extended beyond physical cessation from work to include spiritual rest and peace. The Israelites understood rest as a gift from God, a time to reflect on His provision and faithfulness. In a broader sense, rest was also seen as a future hope, a promise of eternal peace in God's presence. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from raga Definition a rest NASB Translation rest (1).
