Transliteration: exupnizó
Pronunciation: ex-oo-p-nee'-zo
Phonetic Spelling: (ex-oop-nid'-zo)
Definition: To awaken, to rouse from sleep
Meaning: I wake out of sleep.

Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἐξ (ex, meaning "out of") and ὑπνός (hypnos, meaning "sleep").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of awakening is עוּר (ur, Strong's H5782), which means to rouse or stir up.

Usage: The verb ἐξυπνίζω is used to describe the act of waking someone up from sleep. It conveys the idea of bringing someone out of a state of rest or inactivity into alertness and action. In a metaphorical sense, it can also imply awakening someone from spiritual lethargy or moral indifference.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greek world, sleep was often seen as a state of vulnerability and inactivity. The act of waking someone was not just a physical action but could also carry spiritual or moral implications. In the context of the New Testament, awakening is frequently used metaphorically to describe spiritual revival or enlightenment, urging believers to be vigilant and active in their faith.
