It is often used to describe a state of unconsciousness or profound rest, sometimes induced by divine intervention. This term can imply a sleep so deep that it is akin to a trance or a state of being unaware of one's surroundings.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, sleep was often seen as a time of vulnerability and divine interaction. The concept of deep sleep, as indicated by "radam," could be associated with moments when God intervened in human affairs, such as in dreams or visions. This deep sleep was sometimes seen as a protective measure or a means of divine communication.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">רָדַם</font>] <font size="+1"
