Near synonyms 3 words
מַעְצוֹר maʻtsôwr · H4622 · self-control, hinder
Both describe cessation or holding back of activity, plausibly substitutable in the sense of not engaging or stopping oneself, though each is attested only once.
שַׁבָּתוֹן shabbâthôwn · H7677 · (time of) solemn rest
Both lexemes denote cessation or rest, in the sense of ceasing from activity; שַׁבָּתוֹן (shabbâthôwn, H7677) carries strong sabbath/religious connotations, while הֲפֻגָה (hăphugâh, H2014) is more general and neutral, so the overlap, while real, is modest in scope given this register difference.
הֲנָחָה hănâchâh · H2010 · remission (of taxes), holiday
הֲנָחָה (hănâchâh, H2010) denotes release and הֲפֻגָה (hăphugâh, H2014) denotes intermission; both describe a ceasing or pausing of activity, so that a release from obligation and an intermission from work express closely related senses.
