"Rest" is a word that is unique. It literally means "a keeping of sabbath" or "a sabbath keeping".

Hebrews 3:11 wV <5613> {SO} wmosa <3660> (5656) {I SWORE} en <1722> {IN} th <3588> orgh <3709> mou <3450> {MY WRATH,} ei <1487> {IF} eiseleusontai <1525> (5695) {THEY SHALL ENTER} eiV <1519> {INTO} thn <3588> katapausin <2663> mou <3450> {MY REST.}

Hebrews 4:9 ara <686> {THEN} apoleipetai <620> (5743) {REMAINS} sabbatismoV <4520> {A SABBATISM} tw <3588> {TO THE} law <2992> {PEOPLE} tou <3588> qeou <2316> {OF GOD.}

Then, why didn't the Holy Spirit inspire it to be written in both of these circumstances? The Greek language has no equivalent for Sabbath....they just took the Hebrew word Shabbot and ended it with "ismos" to make it Greek. Ismos.....by the way means.....keeping of, or doing....as a suffix. Katapausin means rest. Sabbatismo means keeping the seventh day.

Go ahead and rest on your sabbath which is your world view. I will keep my perpetual rest in Christ which is my world view.
