Usage: The term תְּנוּמָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a physical or metaphorical state of sleepiness or lethargy. It is often used in contexts that warn against spiritual or moral complacency. Context: תְּנוּמָה appears in several passages within the Hebrew Bible, often carrying a connotation of warning against spiritual indifference or moral laxity. For instance, in Proverbs 6:4, the text advises, "Allow no sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids," using תְּנוּמָה to emphasize the urgency of diligence and vigilance. Similarly, in Proverbs 24:33-34, the passage warns, "A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man." Here, תְּנוּמָה is associated with the dangers of neglect and the consequences of inaction.
