Strong's Lexicon shenah or shena: Sleep Original Word: שֵׁנָה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb יָשֵׁן (yashen), meaning "to sleep." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5258 (hypnos): Refers to sleep, both literal and metaphorical, in the New Testament. - G2518 (katheudō): To sleep, often used metaphorically for spiritual lethargy. Usage: The Hebrew word "shenah" refers to the state of sleep, a natural and recurring condition of rest for the body and mind. It is used in the Bible to describe both literal sleep and, metaphorically, a state of spiritual or moral inactivity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, sleep was seen as a necessary part of life, a time for rest and rejuvenation. It was also viewed as a time when God could communicate with individuals through dreams, as seen in the stories of Joseph and Daniel. Sleep was often associated with peace and security, as well as vulnerability, since one is not conscious of their surroundings.
