What is “the sleep of hell”?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Physical sleep … symbolizes a type of spiritual darkness. Anticipating his eldest sons’ problems, Lehi challenges them (and their posterity) to ‘awake from a deep sleep, yea, even from the sleep of hell’ (2 Nephi 1:13)” (Rust, Feasting on the Word, 183).
