Strong's Lexicon Nachath: Rest, quietness, tranquility, descent Original Word: נַחַת Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Nachath Pronunciation: NAH-khath Phonetic Spelling: (nakh'-ath) Definition: Rest, quietness, tranquility, descent Meaning: Nachath Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּחַ (nuach), which means "to rest" or "to settle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G373 (anapausis): Rest, cessation - G1515 (eirene): Peace, tranquility Usage: The Hebrew word "Nachath" primarily conveys a sense of rest, tranquility, or quietness. It can also imply a sense of descent or lowering, often used metaphorically to describe a state of peace or calmness. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe both physical rest and a deeper, spiritual peace that comes from trust in God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of rest was deeply intertwined with the Sabbath, a day set apart for rest and worship. "Nachath" reflects this cultural emphasis on rest as a divine gift and a necessary part of life. The Israelites understood rest not merely as physical cessation from labor but as a holistic peace that encompasses spiritual and emotional well-being. This understanding is rooted in the creation narrative, where God rested on the seventh day, setting a pattern for humanity.
