SIBI-P1 H8572-01
slumberings
| Root | נום (n-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | to slumber, be drowsy, nod off, sink into sleep |
| Semantic Range | drowsiness, light sleep, slumbering, nodding off, periods of sleepiness |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used poetically to contrast human vulnerability with divine vigilance (e.g., YHWH does not experience "slumberings"). It underscores human frailty and dependence in contrast to God’s unceasing watchfulness. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine plural noun in the absolute state (HNcfpa), from תְּנוּמָה (feminine singular). The plural form indicates multiple instances or intensifications of the state of slumber. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the verb נום (“to slumber, be drowsy”) and denotes the state or acts of nodding into sleep. Rendering it as “slumberings” preserves the verbal, process-oriented sense of the root and reflects the feminine plural absolute form by using an English plural noun. |
