It implies a state of tranquility and calmness, often in the context of ceasing from labor or disturbance. This term can also suggest a peaceful demeanor or attitude, reflecting an inner peace that manifests outwardly.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of tranquility and rest was highly valued, often associated with philosophical ideals of inner peace and self-control. In Jewish culture, rest was a significant aspect of the Sabbath, a day set apart for ceasing from work and focusing on spiritual matters. The New Testament usage of hésuchazó reflects these cultural values, emphasizing the importance of spiritual rest and peace in the life of a believer.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/greek/2272.htm">hésuchios</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be still, be silent<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fell silent (1), kept silent (1), lead a quiet life (1), quiet life (1), quieted down (1), rested (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 2270: ἡσυχάζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἡσυχάζω</span></span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἡσύχασα</span>; (<span class="greek2">ἥσυχος</span> (equivalent to <span class="greek2">ἡσύχιος</span>)); as in Greek writings from <span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> down, <span class="accented">to keep quiet,</span> i. e. <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">to rest, to cease from labor</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/23-56.htm">Luke 23:56</a>. <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">to lead a quiet life,</span> said of those who are not running hither and thither, but stay at home and mind their business: <a href="/interlinear/1_thessalonians/4-11.htm">1 Thessalonians 4:11</a>. <p><span class="emphasized">c.</span> <span class="accented">to be silent,</span> i. e. <span class="accented">to say nothing, hold one's peace</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/14-4.htm">Luke 14:4</a> (3); <a href="/interlinear/acts/11-18.htm">Acts 11:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/21-14.htm">Acts 21:14</a> (<a href="/interlinear/job/32-7.htm">Job 32:7</a>; <span class="greek2">ἡσύχασαν</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">οὐχ</span> <span class="greek2">εὕροσαν</span> <span class="greek2">λόγον</span>, <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/5-8.htm">Nehemiah 5:8</a>).<FOOTNOTE:1> [<span class="arttitle">SYNONYMS:</span> <span class="greek2">ἡσυχάζειν</span>, <span class="greek2">σιγᾶν</span>, <span class="greek2">σιωπαν</span>: <span class="greek2">ἡσσυχάζειν</span> describes a quiet condition in the general, inclusive of silence; <span class="greek2">σιγᾶν</span> describes a mental condition and its manifestation, especially in speechlessness (silence from fear, grief, awe, etc.); <span class="greek2">σιωπαν</span>, the more external and physical term, denotes abstinence from speech, especially as antithetic to loquacity. <span class="abbreviation">Schmidt</span> i., chapter 9; iv., chapter 175.] <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>cease, hold peace, be quiet, rest. <p>From the same as <a href="/greek/2272.htm">hesuchios</a>; to keep still (intransitively), i.e. Refrain from labor, meddlesomeness or speech -- cease, hold peace, be quiet, rest. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/2272.htm">hesuchios</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>ησυχάζει ησυχαζειν ησυχάζειν ἡσυχάζειν ησυχάζεται ησυχάζετε ησυχάζοντα ησυχάζοντας ησυχάζουσι ησυχάζουσιν ησύχασα ησυχάσαι ησυχασαμεν ησυχάσαμεν ἡσυχάσαμεν ησυχασαν ησύχασαν ἡσύχασαν ησύχασε ησυχάσει ησυχάσεις ησύχασεν ησυχάση ησύχασον ησυχή esuchasamen ēsuchasamen esuchasan ēsuchasan esuchazein ēsuchazein hesychasamen hesychásamen hēsychasamen hēsychásamen hesychasan hesýchasan hēsychasan hēsýchasan hesychazein hesycházein hēsychazein hēsycházein<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/luke/14-4.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Luke 14:4</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb -
