SLEEP.

[To TES EDITOR OF TER "SPECTLT02."] Pre,—I should be glad to learn the authority for the statement of the writer of the interesting article en " Sleep " in your last week's issue, that, " as a matter of fact, the correct rendering " of the well-known words in Psalm exe-vii., " lie giveth unto his .Celoved sleep," is, " he giveth unto his beloved in sleep." I can Sint nothing in the Hebrew words gam lidido shena to justify each n rendering, nor the " meaning." which the writer of the Article attaches to it.—I am, Sir, &c., PHILIP MAGNUS.
