καταπαύσεώς
katápausis
rest
'Resting, cessation, or state of being at rest.' The core meaning refers to a state of cessation from activity, tranquility, or repose. In biblical contexts, especially drawing from the Septuagint and Hebrews, it acquires the sense of a divinely granted 'rest,' often in relation to the Land or eschatological fulfillment. Secondary senses include a place or abode of rest, paralleling the idea of entering into a designated rest or dwelling, notably in theological or literary uses.
