Usage: The verb καταπαύω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of causing something to cease or bringing it to a state of rest. It is often used in the context of God's rest or the cessation of work. Context: The term καταπαύω appears in the New Testament primarily in the context of rest, particularly in the Epistle to the Hebrews. It is used to describe the rest that God entered into after the creation of the world and the rest that believers are invited to enter through faith. In Hebrews 4:10, it is written, "For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His." This passage highlights the spiritual rest that is available to believers, paralleling the physical rest God took on the seventh day of creation. The concept of rest in this context is not merely physical cessation from labor but a deeper, spiritual rest that signifies peace and fulfillment in God's presence. The use of καταπαύω underscores the completeness and finality of this rest, emphasizing that it is a cessation of striving and a trust in God's finished work.
