SIBI-P1

your sleep

Rootישן (y-š-n)
Core Meaningssleep, be asleep, inactivity, repose
Semantic Rangephysical sleep, nightly rest, state of unconsciousness, figurative spiritual dullness or inactivity
Conceptual SignificanceSleep in the Hebrew Bible can signify divine provision and trust (as in Psalm 127:2), human frailty, or spiritual insensitivity. It often reflects the balance between human labor and YHWH’s sustaining care.
Morphological NotesNoun, common feminine singular construct (שְׁנַת־) with 2ms pronominal suffix (־ךָ), yielding "your sleep."
Rendering RationaleThe noun שֵׁנָה derives from the root ישׁן, "to sleep" or "be asleep." The form is feminine singular in construct with a second masculine singular pronominal suffix, thus "your sleep," addressed to one male individual, preserving both the possessive sense and the singular form.
