Dumah

Doo´muh; Heb., “silence”

1 A son of Ishmael (Gen 25:14; 1Chr 1:30), possibly resident in south-central Arabia at modern Dumat al-Ghandal (el-Jof). 2 A city in the south-central hills of Palestine, probably modern ed-Dome, six miles southwest of Hebron (Josh 15:52). 3 The subject of an oracle in (Isa 21:11-12), where it may be a scribal error for Edom, or its meaning, “silence,” may indicate the uncertain sense of the oracle.
