The Synonymous Words for
"Sleep"
1. katheudo = to compose one's self for sleep. Occurs twenty-two times: never used in death. 2. koimaomai = to fall asleep (unintentionally). Hence this latter is used of death, as it is involuntary, while katheudo is voluntary. See this difference illustrated in 1 Thessalonians 4: 14 (where it is koimaomai ), and 5: 6, 7, 10 (where it is katheudo ). Occurs eighteen times; always of death, save Matthew 28: 13. Luke 22: 45. John 11: 12. Acts 12: 6.
