What Does Job 33:15 Mean?
Elihu describes the first channel of divine speech. In the stillness of night, when the noise of the day is gone and deep sleep settles over a person, God can reach the heart through dream and vision.
God meets us in our quiet and our weakness, in the hours when our defenses are down and we are not in control. The same God who guided sleepers throughout Scripture still draws near in unguarded moments. His voice is not confined to our waking strength; He can speak when we are least able to resist.
Job 33:15 in the Original Language
tardemah (תַּרְדֵּמָה), 'deep sleep' -- a God-sent, heavy slumber in which revelation may come.
