It is used to describe the restoration of physical strength and vitality, typically after exertion or labor. The term implies a renewal of energy and spirit, often associated with the Sabbath rest or a period of recuperation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of rest and refreshment was deeply embedded in the observance of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was a day set apart for rest and spiritual renewal, reflecting God's rest on the seventh day of creation. The idea of being "refreshed" was not only physical but also spiritual, emphasizing the importance of taking time to restore one's relationship with God and community. This practice was a distinctive feature of Israelite identity and religious life, setting them apart from surrounding cultures.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/5315.htm">nephesh</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be refreshed<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>refresh (1), refreshed (2).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">נָפַשׁ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb denominative</b></font> (compare Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb066101.gif"> <em>refresh</em>;
