Strong's Lexicon sachab: To lie down, to rest Original Word: סָחַב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar contexts is "κατακλίνω" (kataklino), which also means to lie down or recline. Usage: The Hebrew verb "sachab" primarily means to lie down or to rest. It is often used in contexts that imply a state of repose or relaxation, sometimes with connotations of safety and peace. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe a state of spiritual rest or trust in God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of rest was deeply significant, often associated with the Sabbath—a day of rest ordained by God. Rest was not only a physical necessity but also a spiritual practice, symbolizing trust in God's provision and sovereignty. The idea of lying down in safety was a common expression of divine protection and blessing.
