Strong's Lexicon dumam: Silence, stillness Original Word: דּוּמָם Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּמַם (damam), which means "to be silent" or "to be still." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of silence or stillness is σιγή (sigē - Strong's Greek 4602), which also denotes silence or quietness. Usage: The Hebrew word "dumam" conveys the concept of silence or stillness, often in a context of reverence, awe, or waiting. It can imply a state of quietness before God, reflecting a posture of humility and attentiveness to His presence or actions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, silence was often associated with reverence and respect, especially in the presence of God or during moments of solemnity. The Israelites understood the importance of being still and silent to hear God's voice or to witness His mighty works. This concept is deeply rooted in the Hebrew tradition of meditation and contemplation, where silence is seen as a means to connect with the divine.
