In the Bible, sleep is often used both literally and metaphorically, symbolizing rest, peace, and sometimes spiritual lethargy or death.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Symbolism:</b> <br>Sleep is mentioned numerous times throughout the Bible, serving as a symbol of both physical rest and spiritual states. In <a href="/genesis/2-21.htm">Genesis 2:21</a>, God causes Adam to fall into a deep sleep to create Eve, illustrating divine intervention and the creative process. "So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he slept, He took one of the man&#8217;s ribs and closed up the area with flesh."<br><br>In the Psalms, sleep is often associated with peace and divine protection. <a href="/psalms/4-8.htm">Psalm 4:8</a> states, "I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety." This verse highlights the trust in God's providence and the peace that comes from reliance on Him.<br><br>Conversely, sleep can also symbolize spiritual complacency or unpreparedness. In the New Testament, Jesus uses sleep as a metaphor for spiritual unawareness. In <a href="/matthew/25-5.htm">Matthew 25:5</a>, the parable of the ten virgins describes how "the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep." This serves as a warning to remain vigilant and prepared for the coming of the Lord.<br><br><b>Sleep and Divine Revelation:</b> <br>Sleep is also a medium through which God communicates with His people. Dreams and visions during sleep are significant in biblical narratives. Joseph, the son of Jacob, receives prophetic dreams that foretell his future and the future of his family (<a href="/genesis/37-5.htm">Genesis 37:5-10</a>). Similarly, in the New Testament, Joseph, the husband of Mary, is guided by an angel in a dream to take Mary as his wife and later to flee to Egypt to protect the infant Jesus (<a href="/matthew/1-20.htm">Matthew 1:20</a>; 2:13).<br><br><b>Sleep as a Metaphor for Death:</b> <br>In several instances, sleep is used as a metaphor for death, emphasizing the temporary nature of death for believers. In <a href="/john/11-11.htm">John 11:11</a>, Jesus refers to Lazarus's death as sleep, saying, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up." This metaphor underscores the Christian hope in the resurrection and eternal life.<br><br><b>Moral and Spiritual Implications:</b> <br>The Bible encourages a balanced view of sleep, recognizing its necessity for physical health while warning against excessive sleep that leads to laziness. <a href="/proverbs/6-9.htm">Proverbs 6:9-11</a> admonishes, "How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit."<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>In summary, sleep in the Bible is multifaceted, representing physical rest, spiritual states, divine communication, and even death. It serves as a reminder of human dependence on God for both physical sustenance and spiritual vigilance.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (<I>v.</I>) imp. of Sleep.<p>2. (<I>v. i.</I>) To take rest by a suspension of the voluntary exercise of the powers of the body and mind, and an apathy of the organs of sense; to slumber.<p>3. (<I>v. i.</I>) To be careless, inattentive, or unconcerned; not to be vigilant; to live thoughtlessly.<p>4. (<I>v. i.</I>) To be dead; to lie in the grave.<p>5. (<I>v. i.</I>) To be, or appear to be, in repose; to be quiet; to be unemployed, unused, or unagitated; to rest; to lie dormant; as, a question sleeps for the present; the law sleeps.<p>6. (<I>v. t.</I>) To be slumbering in; -- followed by a cognate object; as, to sleep a dreamless sleep.<p>7. (<I>v. t.</I>) To give sleep to; to furnish with accommodations for sleeping; to lodge.<p>8. (<I>n.</I>) A natural and healthy, but temporary and periodical, suspension of the functions of the organs of sense, as well as of those of the voluntary and rational soul; that state of the animal in which there is a lessened acuteness of sensory perception, a confusion of ideas, and a loss of mental control, followed by a more or less unconscious state.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">SLEEP</span><p>slep: Represents many words in Hebrew and Greek. For the noun the most common are shenah, and hupnos; for the verb, yashen, shakhabh, and katheudo. The figurative uses for death (<a href="/deuteronomy/31-16.htm">Deuteronomy 31:16</a>, etc.) and sluggishness (<a href="/ephesians/5-14.htm">Ephesians 5:14</a>, etc.) are very obvious.<br><br>See <a href="../d/dream.htm">DREAM</a>.<p><span class="encheading">SLEEP, DEEP</span><p>(tardemah, verb radham, from a root meaning "to be deaf"): The verb radham has no further meaning than "to be fast asleep" (<a href="/judges/4-21.htm">Judges 4:21</a> <a href="/jonah/1-5.htm">Jonah 1:5</a>), but the King James Version used "deep sleep" as a translation only in <a href="/daniel/8-18.htm">Daniel 8:18</a>; <a href="/daniel/10-9.htm">Daniel 10:9</a>, where a sleep supernaturally caused (a "trance") is meant compare "dead sleep" in <a href="/psalms/76-6.htm">Psalm 76:6</a>). The Revised Version's insertion of deep sleep in place of The King James Version's "fast asleep" in <a href="/judges/4-21.htm">Judges 4:21</a> is consequently unfortunate.
