Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is "ἀναπαύω" (anapauo - Strong's G373), which also means to rest or to give rest.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "shaan" conveys a sense of being at ease or resting. It is often used to describe a state of tranquility or security, where one is free from disturbance or fear. This term can imply both physical rest and a deeper, spiritual peace or confidence.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of rest was deeply significant, both in a physical sense and as a spiritual metaphor. The Sabbath, a day of rest, was a cornerstone of Jewish life, symbolizing trust in God's provision and sovereignty. The idea of being at ease or resting was also associated with the Promised Land, a place where the Israelites could dwell securely under God's protection.
