Usage: The verb רָדַם (radam) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of being stunned or stupefied, often implying a deep sleep or unconsciousness. Context: רָדַם (radam) is a Hebrew verb that appears in the context of deep sleep or a state of being overwhelmed to the point of insensibility. This term is used to describe a profound, often divinely induced, sleep or stupor. It is found in passages where individuals are rendered insensible, either as a result of divine intervention or overwhelming circumstances. In the Berean Standard Bible, רָדַם is used in contexts that highlight the power of God to induce a deep sleep or stupor, often as a means of revelation or protection. For example, in Genesis 2:21, God causes a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, allowing for the creation of Eve from his rib: "So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh." The concept of רָדַם is also seen in prophetic and poetic literature, where it may symbolize a spiritual or moral stupor, a state of being unresponsive to God's word or actions. This usage underscores the seriousness of being spiritually insensible and the need for divine awakening.
