Japanese
Etymology
Gikun word derived by applying Chinese-derived spelling 安息 (“rest”), a term which decomposes into 安 (“contentment”) + 息 (“cease, rest”), to native Japanese word やすみ (yasumi, “rest”).
Noun
安息[1] (yasumi) → 休み (yasumi), 安息(ansoku)
- rest (ceasing work being content with work completed)
- ※ God "rested" only in the sense that He was content (安) and pleased with what he had made (Genesis 1:31) and ceased (息) creating (Genesis 2:2). This sense is shown clearly by this gikun word.
