It is used in contexts where silence is either a response to awe, reverence, or a necessary pause for reflection and waiting upon God. The term can also imply a cessation of activity, allowing for contemplation or the anticipation of divine action.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, silence was often associated with reverence and respect, especially in the presence of God. The Israelites understood silence as a form of worship and submission, recognizing the sovereignty and majesty of God. In a communal and oral society, where spoken word was the primary means of communication, silence held significant weight and meaning.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1820.htm">damah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>cessation, a pause, a quiet, a rest<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>middle (1), quiet (1), rest (2).<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">דֳּמִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>cessation, pause, quiet, rest</b></font>; <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ד</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/62-6.htm">Isaiah 62:6</a> 2t.; construct <font class="hebrew2">דְּמִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/38-10.htm">Isaiah 38:10</a> (but see below); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>quiet</em>, in phrase <font class="hebrew2">לָכֶם</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">אַלדֿ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/62-6.htm">Isaiah 62:6</a> <em>keep not quiet</em> (let there be <em>no quiet to you</em>); in prayer to God <font class="hebrew2">לָךְ</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">אַלדֿ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/83-2.htm">Psalm 83:2</a> <em>keep not quiet</em> (inactive; "" <font class="hebrew2">חרשׂ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">שׁקט</font>); compare <font class="hebrew2">לוֺ</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">וְאַלתִּֿתְּנוּ ד</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/62-7.htm">Isaiah 62:7</a> <em>and give no rest to him</em> (<font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> in phrase <font class="hebrew2">בִּדְמִי יָמַי</font>, apparently <em>quiet, peacefulness</em>, even tenour, of my days (so De Or SS); others, as Hi Ew Che Di, <em>pause, resting-time</em>, i.e. <em>noon-day</em> (compare <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ6</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ9</font>, & <em>height</em> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font>), figurative of middle life, but usage dubious; Klo<sup>SK 1884, 157</sup> <em>cessation, pause</em>, of natural end of life, Hezekiah's natural expectation, in, contrast with the speedy death implied in v<sup>b</sup>; but parallelism of <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/62-11.htm">Isaiah 62:11</a>a is ag. this; Brd emends <font class="hebrew2">בְּרֻם</font> after <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font>; Klo<sup>l.c. suggests</sup> <font class="hebrew2">בְּתֹם</font> or <font class="hebrew2">כְּתֹם</font> as possible, though not necessary; — but view stated first is on the whole best. <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>cutting off, rest, silence <p>Or domiy {dom-ee'}; from <a href="/hebrew/1820.htm">damah</a>; quiet -- cutting off, rest, silence. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1820.htm">damah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בִּדְמִ֥י בדמי דֳּמִ֖י דֳּמִי־ דֳמִ֖י דמי דמי־ biḏ·mî bidMi biḏmî do·mî ḏo·mî do·mî- domi domî ḏomî domî-<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/83-1.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Psalm 83:1</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/83.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">אֱלֹהִ֥ים אַל־ <b> דֳּמִי־ </b> לָ֑ךְ אַל־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/psalms/83.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.
