𐤅/𐤉𐤔𐤁𐤕
shâbath
and will 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.

and he will cease
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular, with prefixed conjunction וְ |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple action, and the imperfect 3ms form denotes incomplete or future action. The rendering "and he will cease" preserves the basic root sense of stopping or bringing activity to an end, with the prefixed conjunction reflected by "and." |
