Strong's Lexicon Yashen: To sleep, to be asleep Original Word: יָשֵׁן Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2518 (καθεύδω, katheudō): To sleep, to be asleep - G2837 (κοιμάω, koimaō): To sleep, to fall asleep (often used metaphorically for death) Usage: The Hebrew verb "yashen" primarily means "to sleep" or "to be asleep." It is used in the context of physical rest and unconsciousness. The term can also metaphorically imply a state of inactivity or unawareness, often contrasting with wakefulness or alertness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, sleep was considered a natural and necessary part of life, a time for rest and rejuvenation. The Bible often uses sleep as a metaphor for death, spiritual lethargy, or lack of awareness. In a society without artificial light, sleep patterns were closely tied to the natural cycle of day and night, and sleep was seen as a gift from God, providing rest and renewal.
