P. 112 Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G373: ἀναπαύω (anapauō) • to give rest, to refresh, to cease from labor Usage: The verb שָׁאַן (sha'an) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey a sense of being at ease or resting securely. It often implies a state of tranquility or peace, free from disturbance or anxiety. Context: The Hebrew root שָׁאַן (sha'an) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often describing a state of rest or security. This term is used to depict both physical and emotional states of peace. For instance, in Isaiah 32:9, the prophet calls out to complacent women, urging them to rise from their state of ease: "Rise up, you complacent women; listen to my voice. Give ear to my word, you overconfident daughters." Here, the word conveys a sense of unwarranted security and complacency. In another instance, Zechariah 1:11 uses the term to describe the nations at rest: "And they reported to the angel of the LORD standing among the myrtle trees, 'We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is at rest and tranquil.'" This usage highlights a broader, more global sense of peace and rest. The term שָׁאַן (sha'an) thus encapsulates both personal and communal aspects of peace, often contrasting with the turmoil or judgment that may follow complacency.
