Meanings

  1. to awaken, to wake up

    Process by which humans open their eyes after sleep; also used in the figurative sense of becoming active after a period of inactivity, and of being restored to life after having died

    Examples

    1 Samuel 26:12 So David took the spear and the jug of water that were at Saul’s head, and they left; and no one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone awaken, for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.

    2 Kings 4:31 Then Gehazi went on ahead of them and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or response. So he returned to meet him and informed him, saying, “The boy has not awakened.”

    Proverbs 6:22 When you walk, they will guide you; When you sleep, they will watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.

  2. Literally: to wake up, but extended to events: process by which an event starts happening ((the end) awakens > is coming)

    Examples

    Ezekiel 7:6 ‘An end is coming; the end has come! It has awakened against you; behold, it has come!
