Usage: The verb נוּם (num) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of light sleep or drowsiness. It conveys the idea of being in a state of inactivity or rest, often with an implication of neglect or lack of vigilance. Context: The Hebrew verb נוּם (num) appears in the context of describing a state of slumber or drowsiness. It is often used metaphorically to describe a lack of spiritual vigilance or awareness. In the Hebrew Scriptures, this term is employed to caution against spiritual lethargy and to encourage alertness and readiness. For instance, in Proverbs 6:4, the text warns against giving sleep to one's eyes or slumber to one's eyelids, emphasizing the importance of diligence and vigilance. The concept of slumber is often contrasted with the call to be watchful and alert, both physically and spiritually.
