STRONGS G1797:
ἐνυπνιάζω (
ἐνύπνιον, which see):
to dream (Aristotle, h. an. 4, 10, etc.), and deponent
ἐνυπνιάζομαι (Hippocrates, Plutarch, Brut c. 24); so always in the Bible, for
חָלַם, with future passive
ἐνυπνιασθήσομαι, and common with aorist passive
ἐνυπνιάσθην, more rarely middle
ἐνυπνιασάμην (
Genesis 37:9;
Judges 7:13);
ἐνύπνια ἐνυπνιάζεσθαι (in the
Sept. for
חְלומות חָלַם),
to dream (divinely suggested)
dreams:
Acts 2:17 from
Joel 3:1 (
Joel 2:28); but the reading
ἐνυπνίοις (ἐνυπνιάζεσθαι) was long ago restored, which reading also
Alex. manuscript gives in Joel. Metaphorically,
to be beguiled with sensual images and
carried away to an impious course of conduct:
Jude 1:8.
