Strong's Lexicon ribbea: To lie down, to rest, to settle Original Word: רִבֵּעַ Word Origin: Derived from the root רָבַע (raba), which means "to lie down" or "to rest." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (LXX) for similar concepts of rest or lying down is καταπαύω (katapauō), Strong's Greek 2664, which means "to cause to cease" or "to rest." Usage: The Hebrew verb "ribbea" is used to describe the action of lying down or resting. It often conveys a sense of settling or establishing oneself in a place, sometimes with the implication of peace or security. This term can be used both literally, as in lying down physically, and metaphorically, as in finding rest or peace. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of rest was deeply significant, often associated with peace, security, and divine blessing. The Sabbath, a day of rest, was a central aspect of Jewish life, symbolizing not only physical rest but also spiritual renewal and trust in God's provision. The idea of lying down or settling in a place also carried connotations of inheritance and the fulfillment of God's promises, as seen in the Israelites settling in the Promised Land.
