Near synonyms 3 words
- דְּמִי dᵉmîy · H1824 · to be silent, to keep silent
- Both denote cessation. דְּמִי (dᵉmîy, H1824) covers rest and silence, a cessation from speech or activity, whereas שַׁבָּתוֹן (shabbâthôwn, H7677) denotes sabbath rest, a cessation from labor.
- הֲפֻגָה hăphugâh · H2014 · respite, relief
- 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
- Both lexemes denote cessation of activity (release vs. rest/sabbath), making them plausible near-synonyms in contexts of stopping work or letting go.
In the other Testament 2 words
- ἀνάπαυσις anápausis · G372 · to cease, to stop, rest
- Greek ἀνάπαυσις denotes the concept of rest or cessation from activity, serving as the standard LXX rendering of Hebrew שַׁבָּתוֹן in contexts of sabbath observance and ritual rest periods.
- σάββατον sábbaton · G4521 · week
- Greek σάββατον renders Hebrew שַׁבָּתוֹן in contexts denoting sabbath rest or the sabbath institution itself, with שַׁבָּתוֹן carrying an intensified or emphatic sense of solemn rest (sabbath of sabbaths) that σάββατον captures in LXX translation practice.
