Abbreviations
†
דֳּמִי noun [
masculine]
cessation, pause, quiet, rest;
ד׳ Isaiah 62:6 +
2 times; construct
דְּמִי Isaiah 38:10 (but see below); —
1. quiet, in phrase
לָכֶם אַלדֿ׳ Isaiah 62:6 keep not quiet (let there be
no quiet to you); in prayer to God
לָךְ אַלדֿ׳ Psalm 83:2 keep not quiet (inactive; ||
חרשׂ,
שׁקט); compare
לוֺ וְאַלתִּֿתְּנוּ ד׳ Isaiah 62:7 and give no rest to him (
י׳).
2. in phrase
בִּדְמִי יָמַי, apparently
quiet, peacefulness, even tenour, of my days (so De Or SS); others, as Hi Ew Che Di,
pause, resting-time, i.e.
noon-day (compare
, &
height ), figurative of middle life, but usage dubious; Klo
SK 1884, 157 cessation, pause, of natural end of life, Hezekiah's natural expectation, in contrast with the speedy death implied in v
b; but parallelism of
Isaiah 62:11a is against this; Brd emends
בְּרֻם after
; Klo
l.c. suggests
בְּתֹם or
כְּתֹם as possible, though not necessary; — but view stated first is on the whole best.
