It is often used in the context of bringing about a state of rest or cessation from work or activity. In the New Testament, it is frequently associated with the concept of entering into God's rest, as seen in the book of Hebrews.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of rest was significant, both in a physical sense and a philosophical one. Rest was seen as a necessary part of life, providing balance and renewal. In Jewish culture, the idea of rest was deeply rooted in the Sabbath, a day set apart for rest and worship, reflecting God's rest on the seventh day of creation. Theologically, rest also symbolized the ultimate peace and fulfillment found in God's presence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/3973.htm">pauó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to cause to cease, to rest<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>given...rest (1), rested (2), restrained (1).<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 2664: καταπαύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καταπαύω</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">κατεπαυσα</span>; (<span class="greek2">κατά</span>, like the German <span class="foreign">nieder</span> down); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> transitive, (the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">הֵנִיחַ</span>, <span class="hebrew">הִשְׁבִּית</span>) <span class="accented">to make quiet, to cause to be at rest, to grant rest</span>; i. e. <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">to lead to a quiet abode</span>: <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/4-8.htm">Hebrews 4:8</a> (<a href="/interlinear/exodus/33-14.htm">Exodus 33:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/3-20.htm">Deuteronomy 3:20</a>; <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/5-33.htm">Deuteronomy 5:33</a>; <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/12-10.htm">Deuteronomy 12:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/joshua/1-13.htm">Joshua 1:13, 15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/14-7.htm">2 Chronicles 14:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/32-22.htm">2 Chronicles 32:22</a>; Sir. 24:11). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">to still, restrain, to cause (one striving to do something) to desist</span>: followed by <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">μή</span> and an infinitive, <a href="/interlinear/acts/14-18.htm">Acts 14:18</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, § 140, 16 <span class="greek2">β</span>.; <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 325 (305)). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> intransitive, <span class="accented">to rest, take rest</span> (Hebrew <span class="hebrew">נוּחַ</span>, <span class="hebrew">שָׁבַת</span>): <span class="greek2">ἀπό</span> <span class="greek2">τίνος</span>, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/4-4.htm">Hebrews 4:4, 10</a>,(<a href="/interlinear/genesis/2-2.htm">Genesis 2:2</a>).
