Strong's Lexicon exupnizó: To awaken, to rouse from sleep Original Word: ἐξυπνίζω 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.
