It can imply a peaceful quietness or a solemn pause, reflecting a state of calm or anticipation. In the biblical context, it is frequently associated with waiting on God or being in awe of His presence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, silence was often seen as a form of respect and reverence, especially in the presence of God. The concept of "dumiyyah" would have been understood as a necessary posture for worship and reflection. In a society where oral tradition was paramount, silence also served as a powerful tool for contemplation and meditation on God's word and deeds.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/1745.htm">dumah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a silence, a quiet waiting, repose<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rest (1), silence (2), silent (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">דּוּמִיָּה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">דֻּמִיָּה</font> (Psalm 65:2) <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>silence, still waiting, repose</b></font> — <a href="/interlinear/psalms/39-3.htm">Psalm 39:3</a> <em>silence</em>; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/62-2.htm">Psalm 62:2</a> <em>still waiting, resignation</em> (Dr<sup>§ 189. 2</sup>; but read probably, as <a href="/interlinear/psalms/62-6.htm">Psalm 62:6</a>, <font class="hebrew2">דֹּמִּי</font>, Bi Gr Che); <a href="/interlinear/psalms/65-2.htm">Psalm 65:2</a> <em>id.</em> (but Ew Che Bä and others <font class="hebrew2">דֹּמִיָּה</font> <em>is meet ?</em> from I. <font class="hebrew2">דָּמָה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">πρέπει</font>, see Che); <a href="/interlinear/psalms/22-3.htm">Psalm 22:3</a> <em>repose</em> (from grief and tears: <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/14-17.htm">Jeremiah 14:17</a>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>silence, silent, waiteth <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1820.htm">damah</a>; stillness; adverbially, silently; abstractly quiet, trust -- silence, silent, waiteth. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1820.htm">damah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>ד֭וּמִיָּה דֻֽמִיָּ֬ה דּֽוּמִיָּ֣ה דֽוּמִיָּ֥ה דומיה דמיה dū·mî·yāh ḏu·mî·yāh ḏū·mî·yāh dumiYah dūmîyāh ḏumîyāh ḏūmîyāh<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/psalms/22-2.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Psalm 22:2</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/22.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וְ֝לַ֗יְלָה וְֽלֹא־ <b> דֽוּמִיָּ֥ה </b> לִֽי׃ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/psalms/22.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> And by night, but I have no <span class="itali">rest.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/psalms/22.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> not; and in the night season, <span class="itali">and am not silent.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/22-2.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> night have no <span class="itali">rest</span><p><b><a href="/text/psalms/39-2.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Psalm 39:2</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/39.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> נֶאֱלַ֣מְתִּי <b> ד֭וּמִיָּה </b> הֶחֱשֵׁ֣יתִי מִטּ֑וֹב</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/psalms/39.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> I was mute <span class="itali">and silent,</span> I refrained<br><a href="/kjvs/psalms/39.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> I was dumb <span class="itali">with silence,</span> I held my peace,<br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/39-2.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> was mute <span class="itali">and silent</span> refrained good<p><b><a href="/text/psalms/62-1.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Psalm 62:1</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/62.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">אֶל־ אֱ֭לֹהִים <b> דּֽוּמִיָּ֣ה </b> נַפְשִׁ֑י מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/psalms/62.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> For the choir director; according to Jeduthun.
