Strong's Lexicon Yanowach: To rest, to be quiet, to settle down Original Word: יָנוֹחַ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G373: anapausis (rest, cessation) - G2663: katapausis (rest, place of rest) Usage: The Hebrew verb "Yanowach" primarily conveys the idea of rest or repose. It is often used in contexts where physical rest or a cessation of activity is implied. The term can also extend to a sense of peace or tranquility, suggesting a state of being settled or at ease. In the biblical narrative, it often reflects God's provision of rest or the desired state of peace for His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, rest was a significant concept, deeply embedded in the rhythm of life through the Sabbath and other religious observances. The idea of rest was not merely physical but also spiritual, symbolizing trust in God's provision and sovereignty. The land of Canaan was often described as a place of rest for the Israelites, a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and his descendants.
