Mat 25:5. Ἐνύσταξαν, dozed) The Hebrew verb נום, to slumber or doze, is rendered by the LXX., νυστάζειν. Dozing takes place, either after sleep, as in Pro 6:10, or before it, as in Isa 5:27, which is the case in the present passage.-[πᾶσαι, all) The prudent also fell asleep, and that not without peril; but when they awoke, they had still oil enough. During the sleep of those, who have not previously enough thereof, their oil comes to an end.-B. G. V.]
