(3) to celebrate the sabbath, followed by שַׁבָּת Leviticus 23:32.

Niphal, i.q. Kal No. 2, prop. pass. of Hiphil, to have an end, Isaiah 17:3; Ezekiel 6:6, 30:18 33:28.

Hiphil

(2) to cause to cease

(a) any person, followed by מִן before an inf. Ezekiel 34:10 followed by לְבִלְתִּי Joshua 22:25.

(b) any thing, i.e. to put an end to, e.g. war, Psalms 46:10 contention, Proverbs 18:18 exultation, Isaiah 16:10. Followed by לְ Jeremiah 48:35; Amos 8:4; Ruth 4:14, אֲשֶׁר הִשְׁבִּית לָךְ גֹּאֵל “who hath not left thee without a redeemer;” Leviticus 2:13.

Derivatives, שֶׁבֶת No. I, שַׁבָּת, שַׁבָּתוֹן, שַׁבְּתַי, מַשְׁבָּת.

I. שֶׁבֶת with suff. שִׁבְתִּי (from the root שָׁבַת), cessation, a ceasing, Proverbs 20:3 (compare 18:18 22:10 ); hence idleness, inactivity, Isaiah 30:7.

(2) interruption of work, time lost, Exodus 21:19.

II. שֶׁבֶת f. inf. from the root יָשַׁב to dwell, which see. [“Used as a subst. sitting, seat, 1 Kings 10:19; Amos 6:3 also place, 2 Samuel 23:7.”]
