Dumah: Silence, (comp.)
(Psalms 94:17) the fourth son of Ishmael; also the tribe
descended from him; and hence also the region in Arabia which they
inhabited
(Genesis 25:14; 1 Chronicles 1:30) There was also a town of this name in
Judah
(Joshua 15:52) which has been identified with ed-Domeh, about 10
miles southwest of Hebron. The place mentioned in the "burden" of the
prophet Isaiah
(Isaiah 21:11) is Edom or Idumea.
