SIBI-P1 Translation H7676-10
cessation-day
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, singular, construct state; gender treated as masculine in usage though lexically marked as both. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שַׁבָּת derives from the root שבת, "to cease, desist, rest," and denotes a designated time characterized by cessation from labor. Rendering it as "cessation-day" preserves the core root idea of stopping activity rather than importing the traditional label. |
