Usage: The verb רָבַץ (rāḇaṣ) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the action of crouching or lying down, often in a resting or lurking position. It can refer to animals lying down, people resting, or metaphorically to describe a state of lurking or brooding. Context: רָבַץ (rāḇaṣ) is a Hebrew verb that appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament. It is often used to describe animals, such as sheep or cattle, lying down in a pasture, indicating a state of rest or repose. For example, in Genesis 49:9, the imagery of a lion crouching is used: "He crouches; he lies down like a lion, and like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?" (BSB). This conveys both a sense of rest and readiness to spring into action. The term is also used metaphorically to describe lurking or brooding, as seen in Genesis 4:7, where sin is depicted as crouching at the door, ready to pounce: "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it" (BSB). In the context of human activity, רָבַץ can describe a person reclining or resting, as in the case of Ruth 3:4, where Ruth is instructed to lie down at Boaz's feet: "When he lies down, note the place where he lies. Then go in and uncover his feet and lie down, and he will explain to you what you should do" (BSB). The verb is also used in poetic and prophetic literature to convey a sense of peace and security, as in Isaiah 11:6, where it describes animals living in harmony: "The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and young lion and fatling together, and a little child will lead them" (BSB).
