Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: hanachah
Pronunciation: hah-nah-KHAH
Phonetic Spelling: (han-aw-khaw')
Definition: Rest, relief, quietness

Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּחַ (nuach), which means "to rest" or "to settle."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of rest is ἀνάπαυσις (anapausis), which also means rest or cessation from labor. This term is used in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 11:28, where Jesus invites the weary to find rest in Him.

Usage: The term "hanachah" is used to convey a sense of rest or relief, often in the context of physical or emotional respite. It can refer to a state of tranquility or the cessation of labor and struggle. In the Hebrew Bible, it is associated with the peace and rest that comes from God, reflecting a divine provision of comfort and cessation from turmoil.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of rest was deeply intertwined with the Sabbath, a day set apart for rest and worship. The idea of "hanachah" would resonate with the Israelites' understanding of God's provision and care, as well as the promise of entering into His rest. This rest was not only physical but also spiritual, symbolizing a deeper peace and trust in God's sovereignty.
