Death as Sleep

The phrase "slept with his fathers" is a common idiom for death in the Old Testament, and while it uses the word "slept," it doesn't necessarily imply a metaphorical connection to sleep in the sense of unconsciousness or rest, but rather a conventional way of stating that someone died and joined their ancestors.
