Strong's Lexicon

shenah: Sleep

Original Word: שְׁנָה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: shnah
Pronunciation: shay-naw'
Phonetic Spelling: (shen-aw')
Definition: Sleep
Meaning: a year

Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁנָה (shanah), which means "to change" or "to repeat."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5258 (hypnos): Refers to sleep, both literal and metaphorical, in the New Testament.

- G1853 (eupnoia): Refers to good sleep or rest.

Usage: The Hebrew word "shenah" primarily refers to the state of sleep, a natural and recurring state of rest for the body and mind. It is used in the Bible to describe both literal sleep and, metaphorically, a state of spiritual or moral inactivity.

Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
