SIBI-P1 `H5117-15`

they came-to-rest

Root	נוח (n-w-ḥ)
Core Meanings	rest, settling, repose, quietness, relief, abiding
Semantic Range	to rest physically, to settle in a location, to become quiet, to find relief, to abide, to let something rest (in extended usage), or to experience cessation from movement or turmoil.
Conceptual Significance	The root נוח often conveys more than physical rest; it can denote covenantal rest in the land, divine repose, or relief after turmoil. It carries theological weight in themes of Sabbath, inheritance, and the settling presence of YHWH or His Spirit.
Morphological Notes	Verb in Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person common plural. Intransitive, indicating completed action of settling or resting.
Rendering Rationale	The Qal stem expresses the simple intransitive action of entering a state of rest or settling. The perfect 3rd common plural form is reflected in "they," and "came-to-rest" preserves the root sense of settling into repose rather than merely ceasing activity.
