Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb רָדַם (radam), which means to be in a heavy sleep or to be in a deep slumber. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2285 (θαμβός, thambos): This Greek term refers to amazement or astonishment, often used in the New Testament to describe a state of awe or wonder, which can be related to a trance-like experience. • G2659 (κατάνυξις, katanuxis): This term denotes a state of stupor or deep sleep, akin to a spiritual insensitivity or lethargy, reflecting a similar concept to תַּרְדֵּמָה in terms of a profound, often divinely induced, state of unconsciousness or insensibility. Usage: The word תַּרְדֵּמָה appears in several contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often indicating a deep, God-induced sleep or a trance-like state. It is used to describe the condition of individuals who are in a profound state of rest or unconsciousness, typically for a divine purpose. Context: תַּרְדֵּמָה is a noun that appears in various passages of the Old Testament, illustrating moments when God places individuals into a deep sleep or trance. This term is used in Genesis 2:21, where God causes a deep sleep to fall upon Adam before creating 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." Another notable occurrence is in Genesis 15:12, where Abram falls into a deep sleep as God makes a covenant with him: "As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness overwhelmed him." In 1 Samuel 26:12, a deep sleep from the LORD falls upon Saul and his men, allowing David to take Saul's spear and water jug without being noticed: "So David took the spear and water jug by Saul’s head, and they departed. No one saw them or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They all remained asleep because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them." The concept of תַּרְדֵּמָה often signifies a divine intervention where God communicates or acts while the individual is in a state of suspended consciousness. This state is not merely physical rest but is imbued with spiritual significance, often marking pivotal moments in biblical narratives.
