תַשְׁבִּ֗ית
𐤕𐤔𐤁𐤉𐤕
shâbath
shall you 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.

SIBI-P1 Translation H7673-12
you cause to cease
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, imperfect conjugation, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense, indicating that the subject brings about cessation rather than merely resting. The imperfect 2nd person masculine singular form is reflected as "you cause," preserving both person and verbal force. |
