Strong's Lexicon rabats: To lie down, to rest, to crouch, to recline Original Word: רָבַץ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "rabats," the concept of lying down or resting can be found in Greek words such as "κατακλίνω" (kataklino - to recline) and "ἀναπαύω" (anapauo - to rest). Usage: The Hebrew verb "rabats" primarily means to lie down or recline, often used in the context of animals resting or crouching. It conveys a sense of rest, relaxation, or dwelling in a place. The term can also imply a posture of readiness or waiting, as seen in some biblical contexts. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the imagery of animals lying down was common and often symbolized peace, security, and contentment. Shepherds would observe their flocks lying down in green pastures as a sign of safety and provision. The act of lying down was also associated with rest after labor, a theme prevalent in agrarian societies.
