Strong's Lexicon chedel: Cessation, end, failure Original Word: חֶדֶל Word Origin: Derived from the root חָדַל (chadal), which means "to cease" or "to refrain." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of cessation or stopping is reflected in the Greek New Testament with words like παύω (pauō - Strong's Greek 3973), which means "to stop" or "to cease." Usage: The Hebrew word "chedel" primarily conveys the idea of cessation or the act of stopping. It is used to describe a state of inactivity or the end of an action. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often refers to the cessation of work, activity, or life. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of cessation was significant, particularly in relation to the Sabbath, a day of rest and cessation from labor. The idea of stopping or refraining from work was deeply embedded in the religious and social practices of the Israelites, reflecting their covenant relationship with God. The cessation of activity was not only a physical rest but also a spiritual act of trust in God's provision. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originanother reading for cheled, q.v.
