Strong's Lexicon Dumah: Dumah Original Word: דּוּמָה Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּמַם (damam), meaning "to be silent" or "to be still." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Dumah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. Usage: Dumah is used in the Hebrew Bible as a proper noun, referring to both a person and a place. As a person, Dumah is listed as one of the sons of Ishmael, making him a tribal ancestor of the Ishmaelites (Genesis 25:14; 1 Chronicles 1:30). As a place, Dumah is mentioned in the context of a prophecy in Isaiah 21:11, where it is often interpreted as a region or city associated with Edom. Cultural and Historical Background: Dumah, as a descendant of Ishmael, is part of the broader narrative of the Ishmaelites, who were traditionally seen as nomadic tribes in the Arabian Peninsula. The mention of Dumah in Isaiah 21:11 is often linked to the region of Edom, which was located to the southeast of Israel and was known for its rocky terrain and strategic trade routes. The name Dumah, meaning "silence," may reflect the desolate or quiet nature of the region.
