Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";a resting as on the Sabbath,"; found only in Hebrews 4:9, where it may have been coined by the author : see Moffatt in ICC ad l., who also refers to its possible occurrence in Plutarch de superstit. 166 A (βαπτισμούς, Bentley). The verb occurs in Exodus 16:30 : cf. Fränkel Vorstudien, p. 8.
