𐤄𐤔𐤁𐤉𐤕𐤅
shâbath
cause to cease
To cease, stop, or come to a halt, most often with reference to activity or work. The verb fundamentally denotes the act of bringing an action or process to an end, either by refraining from continuing it or by enforcing cessation. While commonly associated with the cessation of labor, especially in cultic or societal contexts (such as weekly rest), its usage is broader and includes causing others to cease, terminating a process, or putting something to rest. The semantic range includes both voluntary and commanded forms of cessation, and can extend to activities, events, social practices, or metaphoric forms of putting to rest.

Cause to cease!
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), imperative, 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem makes the verb causative, meaning to bring about cessation rather than simply to stop oneself. The imperative 2nd person masculine plural form calls on a group of males to actively cause something to come to an end. |
