It is used both in a literal and metaphorical sense throughout the Scriptures. Old Testament Usage 1. Literal Settlement: The concept of settling is frequently associated with the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. After their exodus from Egypt and years of wandering in the wilderness, the Israelites finally settled in Canaan. This settlement was a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In <a href="/joshua/21-43.htm">Joshua 21:43</a> , it is written, "So the LORD gave Israel all the land He had sworn to give their fathers, and they took possession of it and settled there." 2. Divine Settlement: The idea of God settling His people is also significant. In <a href="/2_samuel/7-10.htm">2 Samuel 7:10</a> , God promises David, "And I will provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and be disturbed no more." This divine settlement is not just about physical location but also about security and peace under God's providence. 3. Metaphorical Settlement: The prophets often use the concept of settling to describe spiritual stability and restoration. In <a href="/ezekiel/36-11.htm">Ezekiel 36:11</a> , God promises, "I will multiply the people upon you, the whole house of Israel in its entirety. The cities will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt." Here, settling implies a return to prosperity and divine favor. New Testament Usage 1. Spiritual Settlement: In the New Testament, the idea of settling often takes on a spiritual dimension. The Apostle Peter encourages believers to be steadfast in their faith. In <a href="/1_peter/5-10.htm">1 Peter 5:10</a> , he writes, "And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore you, secure you, strengthen you, and establish you." The term "establish" here is akin to settling, indicating a firm foundation in Christ. 2. Resolution of Disputes: The New Testament also addresses the settling of disputes among believers. In <a href="/matthew/5-24.htm">Matthew 5:24</a> , Jesus instructs, "Leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift." This emphasizes the importance of resolving conflicts and achieving peace within the Christian community. Theological Implications The concept of settling in the Bible is deeply intertwined with themes of divine promise, fulfillment, and peace. It reflects God's desire for His people to live in a state of rest and security, both physically and spiritually. Settling is not merely about occupying a land or resolving a conflict; it is about entering into the rest that God provides, a rest that is ultimately fulfilled in Christ. The believer's ultimate settlement is in the eternal kingdom of God, where true peace and stability are found.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

See <a href="../t/temple.htm">TEMPLE</a>.SETTLE (2)The Hebrew language has 8 words which are thus translated: yashabh, nachath, `amadh, shaqat, tabha`, natsabh, maqom, qapha'. Now the meaning is to settle down, to cause to occur (<a href="/ezekiel/36-11.htm">Ezekiel 36:11</a> the King James Version; <a href="/1_chronicles/17-14.htm">1 Chronicles 17:14</a>); then it denotes fixedness (<a href="/2_kings/8-11.htm">2 Kings 8:11</a> <a href="/psalms/119-89.htm">Psalm 119:89</a> <a href="/proverbs/8-25.htm">Proverbs 8:25</a>); again it points to a condition of absolute quiescence, as the settlings on the lees (<a href="/jeremiah/48-11.htm">Jeremiah 48:11</a>); and in still another place it means packing solidly together (<a href="/psalms/65-10.htm">Psalm 65:10</a>). In the New Testament the words hedraios, themelioo, and tithemi, have been translated "settle." the Revised Version (British and American) in <a href="/1_peter/5-10.htm">1 Peter 5:10</a> has translated "establish," and the context unquestionably points to the idea of a fixed establishment in the faith. In <a href="/luke/21-14.htm">Luke 21:14</a> the word translated "settle" evidently points to a fixed determination. Henry E.
