Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

נוּם verb be drowsy, slumber (Late Hebrew נוּם, נִמְנֵם id.; Aramaic נוּם,

; Arabic (

)

id.; Ethiopic

); —

Qal Perfect 3 plural נָמ֫וּ Nahum 3:18; Psalm 76:6 (Ges^{§ 72} l); Imperfect יָנוּם Psalm 121:3 2t.; 3 feminine singular וַתָּ֫נָם 2 Samuel 4:6 (so read for HCT וַיַּכֻּהו, with other radical changes, ᵐ5 Th We Dr Kit Bu HPS); Infinitive construct לָנוּם Isaiah 56:10. — be drowsy, slumber, literal וַתָּנָם וַתִּישָׁ֑ן 2 Samuel 4:6 (emendation, see above) and she grew drowsy and slept; figurative of inactivity, indolence, Isaiah 5:27 ("" ישׁן), Psalm 121:3; Psalm 121:4 (of ׳י; "" id.); Nahum 3:18 ("" שָׁכֵן); ׳אֹהֲבֵי לָנ Isaiah 56:10 ("" שָׁכַב); followed by accusative of congnate meaning with verb שֵׁנָה Psalm 76:6 (of death, "" נִרְדַּם).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

נוּם to slumber, especially through indolence and sloth, Nah, 3:18 Isaiah 56:10; Psalms 121:3; Isaiah 5:27. It differs from יָשֵׁן to go to sleep. In Arabic, on the contrary, نَامَ is to go to sleep, وَسِنَ to be asleep.
