Literally, it describes the natural state of rest for the body. Metaphorically, it can imply spiritual lethargy or unawareness, often used to contrast with spiritual vigilance and alertness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, sleep was often associated with both physical rest and a state of vulnerability. The Greeks personified sleep as Hypnos, the god of sleep, indicating its perceived power and influence over human life. In the biblical context, sleep is sometimes used to symbolize death or a lack of spiritual awareness, drawing on the cultural understanding of sleep as a state of inactivity and unconsciousness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sleep<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sleep (6).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5258: ὕπνος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὕπνος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὕπνου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (i. e. <span class="greek2">συπνος</span>, cf.
