Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 1515 (εἰρήνη, eirēnē): Often translated as "peace," this Greek term shares a similar semantic range with "shaqat," encompassing peace, tranquility, and rest.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "shaqat" primarily conveys a sense of quietness, rest, or tranquility. It is often used to describe a state of peace or calmness, whether in a physical, emotional, or spiritual context. The term can refer to the cessation of conflict or disturbance, indicating a period of rest or peace.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of rest and peace was highly valued, especially in a world often marked by conflict and turmoil. The Israelites, like many ancient peoples, longed for periods of peace and stability, both in their personal lives and as a nation. The idea of "shaqat" would have resonated deeply with them, symbolizing divine blessing and favor when they experienced peace from their enemies or rest from their labors.
