Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁבַת (shavat), which means "to cease" or "to rest."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, the concept of dwelling or residing can be related to Greek terms such as κατοικία (katoikia • Strong's Greek 2732), which means "dwelling" or "habitation," and οἰκία (oikia • Strong's Greek 3614), meaning "house" or "household." These Greek terms capture similar themes of residence and locality found in the Hebrew שֶׁבֶת.

Usage: The word שֶׁבֶת is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a dwelling place or a location where people gather. It can imply a sense of permanence or a designated area for habitation or assembly.

Context: The Hebrew term שֶׁבֶת (shevet) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often associated with the concept of dwelling or residing. It is used to describe a physical location where individuals or groups settle, suggesting a sense of community or established presence. The term can also refer to a session or gathering, indicating a formal assembly or meeting place.

In the context of the Hebrew Bible, שֶׁבֶת is sometimes used to describe the dwelling places of the tribes of Israel, emphasizing the importance of land and locality in the identity and heritage of the people. The term underscores the significance of place in the covenant relationship between God and His people, as the land is often seen as a divine gift and a place of rest and security.

For example, in the book of Psalms, the concept of שֶׁבֶת is reflected in the idea of dwelling in the house of the Lord, symbolizing a place of worship, refuge, and divine presence. This usage highlights the spiritual dimension of שֶׁבֶת, where the physical locality becomes a space for encountering God and experiencing His peace.
