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; KloSK 1884, 157 cessation, pause, of natural end of life, Hezekiah's natural expectation, in contrast with the speedy death implied in vb; but parallelism of Isaiah 62:11a is against this; Brd emends בְּרֻם after ; Klol.c. suggests בְּתֹם or כְּתֹם as possible, though not necessary; — but view stated first is on the whole best.
