H4774 H4774
rest, repose (refreshment and relief, parallel to 'resting place')
This word denotes rest or repose, refreshment from weariness. It occurs in Isaiah 28:12 where God identifies the true rest He offers, yet the people refuse to listen: 'This is the rest, give rest to the weary; and this is the repose'. The term appears in parallel with menuchah (resting place), reinforcing the theme of divinely offered relief. The people's rejection of this rest brings judgment. The word is poetic vocabulary, closely related to H4771 but with a slightly different form.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Rest, repose, or refreshment offered by God to weary people. Isaiah uses paired synonyms to emphasize the rest theme—this is both the rest and the repose God provides. The tragic refusal to accept this rest leads to stumbling and captivity. The term conveys relief from labor and spiritual refreshment. The parallel structure intensifies the offer's importance and the people's culpability in refusing it. 1×
