Strong's Lexicon Nachath: Rest, quietness, tranquility, satisfaction Original Word: נַחַת Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּחַ (nuach), which means "to rest" or "to settle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G373 (anapausis): Rest, cessation from labor - G1515 (eirene): Peace, tranquility Usage: The Hebrew word "Nachath" primarily conveys a sense of rest, tranquility, or satisfaction. It is often used to describe a state of peace or contentment, both physically and spiritually. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to the rest that comes from God or the peace experienced by individuals or communities. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of rest was deeply significant, often associated with the Sabbath—a day of rest ordained by God. Rest was not merely the absence of labor but a state of spiritual and physical renewal. The idea of "Nachath" would have resonated with the Israelites as a divine gift, reflecting God's provision and care. It also ties into the broader biblical theme of entering God's rest, as seen in the Promised Land narrative and later theological interpretations.
