This word is used only twice in the Bible, suggesting that it is a relatively rare term. Given its definition, ἐπίστασις likely refers to a complete or sudden cessation of something, such as a physical action, a process, or a state. The word's limited occurrences in the Bible imply that it may be used in specific contexts to convey a sense of abrupt interruption or halt. Further analysis of the surrounding text would be necessary to fully understand the word's significance in each instance.
