slēp : Represents many words in Hebrew and Greek. For the noun the most common are שׁנה , shēnāh , and ὔπνος , húpnos ; for the verb, ישׁן , yāshēn , שׁכב , shākhabh , and καθεύδω , katheúdō . The figurative uses for death ( Deuteronomy 31:16 , etc.) and sluggishness (Ephesians 5:14 , etc.) are very obvious. See DREAMS .
