I have caused to cease

Rootשׁבת (sh-b-t)
Core Meaningsceasing, resting, desisting, stopping activity
Semantic Rangeto cause to cease, bring to an end, stop, put away, remove, still, make rest, terminate observance or activity
Conceptual SignificanceDerived from the same root as "Sabbath," this verb reflects the theological motif of divinely appointed cessation—whether of labor, judgment, joy, or activity. When used of God, it often signals decisive intervention to halt actions, systems, or conditions, underscoring divine sovereignty over time, order, and covenant rhythms.
Morphological NotesHiphil (causative) perfect, 1st common singular. The Hiphil stem adds a causative force to the root idea of ceasing; the perfect form expresses completed action by "I."
Rendering RationaleThe root שׁבת conveys the idea of ceasing or resting. In the Hiphil stem it takes a causative sense, meaning "to cause to cease" or "to bring to a stop." The perfect 1st common singular form indicates completed action by the speaker, hence "I have caused to cease."
