Abbott-Smith Manual Greek Lexicon of the New Testament

ἀνά -παυσις , -εως , ή

(ἀνάπαύω ),

[in LXX chiefly for H5117 and its derivatives, H7676 and its cognates (Ex, Le);]

cessation, rest, refreshment: Matthew 11:26; Matthew 12:43, Luke 11:24, Revelation 4:8; Revelation 14:11.†

SYN.: ἄνεσις G425 (lit, the relaxation of the strings of a lyre), prop. signifies the rest or ease which comes from the relaxation of unfavourable conditions, as, e.g. affliction: ἀνάπ , the rest which comes from the temporary cessation of labour (v. Tr., Stn., § xl; Cremer, 827; MM, VGT, s.v.).

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

In P Flor I. 57.56 (A.D. 223–5) a septuagenarian pleads for ";relief"; (ἀναπαύσεω ̣̓) from public duties (λειτουργίαι); and in BGU I. 180.5 (ii/iii A.D.) we read of the πεντ [α ]ετῆ χρό [ν ]ον ἀνα [παύσε ]ως accorded to veterans μετὰ τ [ὴν ἀπό ]λυσιν from military service. As will be seen from the record of the verb below, the essential idea is that of a respite, or temporary rest as a preparation for future toil, which Lightfoot (on Philemon 1:7) finds in ἀναπαύω. This brings out all the better the differentia of κατάπαυσις in Hebrews 4:1-16, the Sabbath followed by no weekday.
