Christ fulfills rabats: Good Shepherd 'makes lie down in green pastures' (Ps 23:2); gives rest without fear (John 10:28–29). Grace enables non-anxious posture (Matt 11:28–30 'find rest for your souls'). Resurrection hope lets leaders 'lie down' amid trials—secure in Him, present with people.

Hebrew Term

רָבַץ (rabats H7257)

Primitive root verb: to crouch/stretch out/lie down/recline (legs folded like recumbent animal); repose in safety. ~30× OT. Positive: sheep/flocks lying down unthreatened (Gen 29:2; Ps 23:2 'He makes me lie down'); lions at rest in strength (Gen 49:9; Ps 104:21–22). Figurative: total ease, guard down, voluntary security—not mere sleep/inactivity. Can imply lurking/crouching negatively (Gen 4:7 sin 'crouching'), but rest contexts emphasize peace/satisfaction under protection.
