Strong's Lexicon tardemah: Deep sleep, trance Original Word: תַּרְדֵּמָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: tardemah Pronunciation: tar-day-maw' Phonetic Spelling: (tar-day-maw') Definition: Deep sleep, trance Meaning: a lethargy, trance Word Origin: Derived from the root verb רָדַם (radam), meaning "to be in a heavy sleep" or "to be in a deep sleep." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a divinely induced deep sleep can be related to the Greek word "ὕπνος" (hypnos, Strong's G5258), which means sleep, and is used in contexts of divine or significant sleep in the New Testament. Usage: The term "tardemah" refers to a state of deep sleep or a trance-like condition. It is often used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a divinely induced sleep, typically for the purpose of revelation or significant divine action. This state is more profound than ordinary sleep, often associated with God's intervention or presence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, sleep was often seen as a time when the divine could communicate with humans through dreams and visions. The concept of a "deep sleep" or "trance" was understood as a special state where one could receive divine messages or undergo significant transformations. In the Hebrew Bible, "tardemah" is used to describe moments when God intervenes in human affairs, often to reveal His will or to initiate a covenant.
