Strong's Lexicon shenah: Sleep Original Word: שְׁנָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: shnah Pronunciation: shay-naw' Phonetic Spelling: (shen-aw') Definition: Sleep Meaning: sleep Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁנָה (shanah), which means "to change" or "to repeat." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5258 (hypnos): Refers to sleep, both literal and metaphorical, in the New Testament. - G1853 (eupnoia): Refers to good or sound sleep. Usage: The Hebrew word "shenah" primarily refers to the state of sleep, a natural and recurring state of rest for the body and mind. It is often used in the context of physical rest but can also imply spiritual or metaphorical rest. In the Hebrew Bible, "shenah" is used to describe both literal sleep and a deeper, sometimes spiritual, rest or slumber. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, sleep was seen as a necessary and God-given part of life, essential for health and well-being. The Bible often uses sleep metaphorically to describe spiritual states, such as spiritual complacency or death. Sleep was also considered a time when God could communicate with individuals through dreams, as seen in the stories of Joseph and Daniel.
