Strong's Lexicon dumiyyah: Silence, stillness, quietness Original Word: דּוּמִיָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּמַם (damam), meaning "to be silent" or "to be still." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 2270 (hēsychia): Meaning quietness or stillness, often used in the New Testament to describe a peaceful and quiet life (e.g., 1 Timothy 2:2). Usage: The Hebrew word "dumiyyah" conveys a sense of silence or stillness, often in a context of waiting or reverence. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
