It conveys the idea of relief and refreshment, often in a spiritual or emotional context. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the rest that Jesus offers to those who come to Him, as well as the eternal rest promised to believers.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, rest was a valued concept, often associated with leisure and the cessation of work. However, in the Jewish tradition, rest held a deeper, spiritual significance, rooted in the Sabbath rest commanded by God. This rest was not merely physical but also spiritual, symbolizing trust in God's provision and sovereignty. The New Testament expands on this concept, presenting Jesus as the ultimate source of spiritual rest.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 372</b> <i>anápausis</i> – inner rest (tranquility). <a href="/greek/373.htm">See 373</a> (<i>anapauō</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/373.htm">anapauó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>cessation, rest<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cease (1), rest (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 372: ἀνάπαυσις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀνάπαυσις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀναπαύσεως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀναπαύω</span>) (from <span class="abbreviation">Mimnermus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Pindar</span> down); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">intermission, cessation,</span> of any motion, business, labor: <span class="greek2">ἀνάπαυσιν</span> <span class="greek2">οὐκ</span> <span class="greek2">ἔχουσι</span> <span class="greek2">λέγοντες</span> (<span class="manuref">Rec.</span> <span class="greek2">λέγοντα</span>) equivalent to <span class="greek2">οὐκ</span> <span class="greek2">ἀναπαυονται</span> <span class="greek2">λέγοντες</span> they incessantly say, <a href="/interlinear/revelation/4-8.htm">Revelation 4:8</a>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">rest, recreation</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/12-43.htm">Matthew 12:43</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-24.htm">Luke 11:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/14-11.htm">Revelation 14:11</a> (and often in Greek writings); blessed tranquillity of soul <a href="/interlinear/matthew/11-29.htm">Matthew 11:29</a> (Sir. 6:(<BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:Sirach 6:27>), <BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:Sirach 6:28>; <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Sirach 51:27>; Wis. 4:7).
