It is used in the Bible to describe both literal sleep and, metaphorically, a state of spiritual or moral inactivity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/8141.htm">shanah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a year<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>age* (1), year (5), years (1).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
