Near synonyms 2 words
- κατάπαυσις katápausis · G2663 · to rest, to cease from work
- In Hebrews 3-4, κατάπαυσις is used repeatedly for the rest that God's people are to enter, and σαββατισμός (Hebrews 4:9) specifies a particular kind of that rest—namely, a Sabbath-rest. Both denote a state of rest or repose, but σαββατισμός carries the specific connotation of Sabbath-keeping or Sabbath-type rest, whereas κατάπαυσις is the broader, more general term for rest.
- ἀνάπαυσις anápausis · G372 · to cease, to stop, rest
- ἀνάπαυσις denotes rest, relief, or refreshment (e.g., Matthew 11:29, Revelation 4:8). Like σαββατισμός, it refers to a state of rest, but ἀνάπαυσις is the standard term for rest/refreshment without the specific Sabbath-connotation that σαββατισμός carries. They overlap semantically as rest-terms but are lexically distinct.
In the other Testament 1 word
- שַׁבָּת shabbâth · H7676 · sabbath, (day of) rest
- The Hebrew noun שַׁבָּת denotes the Sabbath institution and observance itself, which is the theological foundation for the Greek σαββατισμός as a state or practice of Sabbath-rest. While σαββατισμός emphasizes the rest-state or repose (especially in Hebrews 4:9's typological Christian/eschatological sense), שַׁבָּת is the direct Hebrew equivalent for the underlying Sabbath concept.
