So Joshua took the entire land, in keeping with all that the LORD had spoken to Moses. And Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to the allotments to their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.

Here: 'Was quiet / became undisturbed'. The picture is calm after upheaval, the absence of fighting, not leisure or inner spiritual rest. It is the same phrase the book of Judges uses for its periods of peace between crises.

(Hebron used to be called Kiriath-arba, after Arba, the greatest man among the Anakim.) Then the land had rest from war.

Job 34:29 יַשְׁקִ֨ט׀ he will keep quiet

But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,

Here: This form of the verb can mean 'he grants calm/rest' (KJV, WEB, YLT) or 'he keeps still, does nothing' (BSB, ESV, NIV). Either way the picture is of God not acting visibly, or settling a matter in calm. Elihu is answering Job's complaint that God sits idle while the wicked prosper.

You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,

Psalm 76:8 וְשָׁקָֽטָה׃ and it was quiet

From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still

Here: The earth 'grew quiet'. This verb is the standard Hebrew way of saying a land has rest from war ('the land had rest forty years', Judges 3:11). The fighting stopped. The stillness is the calm that follows when war has been ended.

Psalm 83:1 תִּשְׁקֹ֣ט you be inactive

A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.

Here: To sit undisturbed and inactive, like a land at peace or a sword back in its sheath. The plea is 'Do not stay calm and passive while this goes on'. The point is action, not speech.

Psalm 94:13 לְהַשְׁקִ֣יט to give quiet

to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.

Here: Literally 'to make quiet' or 'to cause to be undisturbed.' The 'to' marks purpose: this is what God's discipline and teaching in verse 12 are for. The picture is calm after turmoil, like a land that has stopped being invaded, not leisure.

Proverbs 15:18 יַשְׁקִ֥יט he makes quiet

A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger calms dispute.

Here: 'Makes quiet'. The verb is used of a land at rest after war. The patient person doesn't just avoid the fight; he brings it to rest. The verb form describes what he characteristically does.

and say to him: Calm down and be quiet. Do not be afraid or disheartened over these two smoldering stubs of firewood—over the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.

Here: 'Keep things quiet, stay undisturbed.' In Isaiah this is a political stance: do not rush into frantic counter-moves or foreign alliances. It is more than an inner feeling.

All the earth is at peace and at rest; they break out in song.

Isaiah 18:4 אֶשְׁקֳטָ֖ה I will remain quiet

For this is what the LORD has told me: “I will quietly look on from My dwelling place, like shimmering heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

Here: A form that expresses resolve: 'I will hold still' or 'let me stay quiet'. This is restraint God chooses, holding back from action for now. It does not mean he is idle or uninvolved.

Isaiah 30:15 בְּהַשְׁקֵט֙ in being quiet

For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence—but you were not willing.”

Here: 'In keeping calm': the same word Isaiah gave King Ahaz in 7:4, 'Be careful, keep calm, do not fear.' Composure that refuses panic-driven action, not silence of the voice.

Isaiah 32:17 הַשְׁקֵ֥ט [will be] quietness

The work of righteousness will be peace; the service of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever.

Here: A verb form used here as a noun: 'being quiet, being left undisturbed.' This verb describes a land that 'had rest' from war (Judges 3:11), and Isaiah uses it for the calm, trusting stance toward God he urged on Judah's kings (7:4; 30:15).

Isaiah 57:20 הַשְׁקֵט֙ to be quiet

But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waves churn up mire and muck.

Here: 'To become still, settle, be at peace and undisturbed'. Isaiah uses the same word for the quiet trust God asks of his people (7:4; 30:15) and the quiet that righteousness produces (32:17). It is put first in its clause for emphasis: '*stillness* it cannot manage'.

Isaiah 62:1 אֶשְׁק֑וֹט I will remain quiet

For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch.

Here: The calm of a land free from war, as in Judges' "the land had rest". It describes outward peace, not only an inner feeling.

Jeremiah 46:27 וְשָׁקַ֥ט and he will be undisturbed

But you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid.

Here: Quiet as in no war: the word Judges uses for 'the land had rest'. It is a political and military calm.

Jeremiah 47:6 תִשְׁקֹ֑טִי you will be inactive

‘Alas, O sword of the LORD, how long until you rest? Return to your sheath; cease and be still!’

Here: 'Will you be quiet'. This is the verb used for a land that 'had rest' from war (Judges 3:11). The speaker longs for that hush after battle.

Jeremiah 47:7 תִּשְׁקֹ֔טִי will you be inactive

How can it rest when the LORD has commanded it? He has appointed it against Ashkelon and the shore of its coastland.”

Jeremiah 48:11 וְשֹׁקֵ֥ט and [has been] undisturbed

Moab has been at ease from youth, settled like wine on its dregs; he has not been poured from vessel to vessel or gone into exile. So his flavor has remained the same, and his aroma is unchanged.

Here: A participle describing a lasting state: 'and he is lying still'. It is used of a land at rest from war (Judg 3:11), and here also of wine that has never been stirred up.

Jeremiah 49:23 הַשְׁקֵ֖ט to be quiet

Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are put to shame, for they have heard a bad report; they are agitated like the sea; their anxiety cannot be calmed.

Here: 'To be still, to be at rest.' The same verb describes a land that has 'rest' from war (Judg 3:11). Here it is the calm the sea, and the frightened people, cannot reach.

Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed, and complacent; they did not help the poor and needy.

Here: A verb form used as a noun: 'keeping quiet, being undisturbed'. Together with the previous word it means 'the ease of being left in peace', a life nothing disturbs. It does not mean laziness.

Ezekiel 38:11 הַשֹּׁ֣קְטִ֔ים those at peace

You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will come against a quiet people who dwell securely, all of them living without walls or bars or gates—
