It means to rouse from sleep. In Zechariah, the prophet is wakened by an angel like a man out of sleep.

**Interpretation.** The tradition reads this as showing that prophecy is a clear vision given by God.

### Examples

- And the angel that spoke with me returned, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. (Prophets ZEC.4.1, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/W/waken/#x1)
