Berean Strong's Lexicon shenah: Sleep Original Word: שֵׁנָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: shenah Pronunciation: shay-naw' Phonetic Spelling: (shen-aw') Definition: Sleep Meaning: a year Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5258 (hypnos): Refers to sleep, both literal and metaphorical, in the New Testament. - G1853 (eupnoia): Refers to good sleep or rest. 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 used in the Bible to describe both literal sleep and, metaphorically, a state of spiritual or moral inactivity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, sleep was seen as a necessary part of life, a time for rest and rejuvenation. It was also viewed as a time when God could communicate with individuals through dreams, as seen in the stories of Joseph and Daniel. Sleep was often associated with peace and security, as well as vulnerability, since it is a time when one is not alert to danger.
