1. solemn rest (sabbath observance) — A solemn or complete rest, a sabbatical observance mandated by divine instruction. Used of sacred rest days including the Sabbath, Day of Atonement, and sabbatical year. All 11 occurrences refer to the same concept of divinely-appointed cessation from labor. Multilingual evidence uniformly supports a single sense: eng 'complete rest / sabbaths,' spa 'reposo solemne / descanso,' hin पूर्ण-विश्राम / विश्राम, arb سَبَاتِينَ / سَبَاتٌ, kor 안식의 / 안식, swa pumziko kamili / pumziko. The variation between 'complete rest' and 'rest/sabbaths' reflects contextual emphasis rather than a distinct lexical sense. 11×
