Berean Strong's Lexicon nuach: To rest, settle, repose, give rest, leave, place Original Word: נוּחַ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2663 (katapausis): Rest, cessation - G373 (anapausis): Rest, refreshment Usage: The Hebrew verb "nuach" primarily conveys the idea of rest or repose. It is used to describe physical rest, as well as a more abstract sense of peace or tranquility. The term can also imply the act of settling or placing something in a particular position. In the context of the Sabbath, "nuach" signifies the cessation of work and the enjoyment of rest. It is also used to describe God's rest after creation and the rest that He provides to His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of rest was deeply embedded in religious and social practices. The Sabbath, a day of rest on the seventh day of the week, was a cornerstone of Jewish life, symbolizing not only physical rest but also spiritual renewal and trust in God's provision. The idea of rest extended to the land, with the practice of the Sabbath year, where the land was left to rest every seventh year. This cultural emphasis on rest reflects a broader theological theme of reliance on God and the anticipation of ultimate rest in His presence.
