A pause for rest
by RS  admin@creationpie.org : 1024 x 640
1. A pause for rest
The English word "pause" comes from the middle French word "pause" ≈ "" which comes from the Latin word "pausa" ≈ "pause, halt, stop" which comes from the ancient Greek word "παυσις" ≈ "stopping, ceasing" which is from the ancient Greek word "παύω" ≈ "stop" whose origin is uncertain.

This word in various ways is used in the LXX (Septuagint) and GNT (Greek New Testament) for meanings related to "rest".
