Usage

The Hebrew verb "nuach" primarily means "to rest" or "to settle down." It conveys a sense of ceasing from labor or movement, finding repose, or being in a state of tranquility. This term is often used in the context of physical rest, such as the resting of the Ark on Mount Ararat (Genesis 8:4), or in a more abstract sense, such as the peace and rest that God provides to His people.
