Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root חָדַל (chadal), which means "to cease" or "to desist."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 2663 • καταπαύω (katapauō): to cause to cease, to rest. Usage: The word חֶדֶל is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of inactivity or rest, particularly associated with death. It conveys the idea of a complete stop or pause, often reflecting the finality of death. Context: חֶדֶל (chedel) appears in the Hebrew Scriptures to describe the concept of rest or cessation, particularly in relation to death. This term is rooted in the broader Hebrew understanding of life and death, where death is seen as a cessation of earthly activities and a transition to a state of rest. The word is used to emphasize the end of human endeavors and the stillness that follows. In the context of the ancient Near Eastern worldview, this cessation is not merely physical but also existential, marking the end of one's participation in the living world. The use of חֶדֶל in the Scriptures often serves to highlight the contrast between the vibrancy of life and the stillness of death, underscoring the transient nature of human existence.
