Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for רֵבֶץ, the concept of rest and repose is captured in the Greek New Testament by terms such as ἀνάπαυσις (anapausis • Strong's Greek 372) and κατάπαυσις (katapausis • Strong's Greek 2663), which convey the idea of rest, cessation, or a place of rest. These terms are used in contexts that speak of spiritual rest and the ultimate rest found in God's presence.

Usage: The term רֵבֶץ is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a place where one lies down or rests, often referring to a physical location such as a couch or a resting place for animals.

Context: • רֵבֶץ (Revetz) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a noun that signifies a place of rest or repose. It is often used in contexts that describe a physical location where individuals or animals lie down. The term is closely associated with the idea of rest and tranquility, reflecting a state of being at ease or at peace.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, רֵבֶץ is translated in contexts that emphasize the imagery of rest and comfort. For example, in Isaiah 11:6-7, the imagery of animals lying down together in peace is depicted, illustrating a harmonious and restful state: "The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and young lion and fattened calf together; and a little child will lead them."
• The concept of רֵבֶץ is also metaphorically extended to describe spiritual or eschatological rest, where peace and harmony are envisioned in the prophetic literature. This reflects the broader biblical theme of rest as a divine promise and blessing.
• The use of רֵבֶץ in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of rest and repose in the human experience, both physically and spiritually. It serves as a reminder of the peace and tranquility that are integral to the biblical vision of a restored creation.
