For example, when Jesus told his disciples that Lazarus was “sleeping” they thought he meant that Lazarus was just sleeping naturally. In this context, it would not make sense to translate this as “he died.” -* Some project languages may have a different expression for death or dying which could be used if the expressions “sleep” and “asleep” do not make sense. - -## Bible References: - -* [1 Kings 18:27-29](rc://en/tn/help/1ki/18/27) -* [1 Thessalonians 4:14](rc://en/tn/help/1th/04/14) -* [Acts 7:60](rc://en/tn/help/act/07/60) -* [Daniel 12:2](rc://en/tn/help/dan/12/02) -* [Psalms 44:23](rc://en/tn/help/psa/044/23) -* [Romans 13:11](rc://en/tn/help/rom/13/11) - -## Word Data: - -* Strong’s: H1957, H3462, H3463, H7290, H7901, H8139, H8142, H8153, H8639, G08790, G18520, G18530, G25180, G28370, G52580
