Commentators unanimously describe the "spirit of deep sleep" not as physical tiredness but as a "judicial blindness" sent by God. This spiritual stupor is presented as a righteous judgment. When people willfully reject God's truth, He may give them over to the darkness they have chosen, a concept emphasized by scholars like Calvin and Ellicott.
