‎דֳּמִי‎ noun [masculine] cessation, pause, quiet, rest; ‎׳‎‎ד‎ Isa 62:6 + 2 t.; construct ‎דְּמִי‎ Isa 38:10 (but see below); —

1. quiet, in phrase ‎לָכֶם‎ ‎׳‎‎אַלדֿ‎ Isa 62:6 keep not quiet (let there be no quiet to you); in prayer to God ‎לָךְ‎ ‎׳‎‎אַלדֿ‎ Ps 83:2* keep not quiet (inactive; || ‎חרשׂ‎, ‎שׁקט‎); compare ‎לוֺ‎ ‎׳‎‎וְאַלתִּֿתְּנוּ ד‎ Isa 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 ᵑ6 ᵑ9, & height ᵐ5), 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 vIsa 62:11a is ag. this; Brd emends ‎בְּרֻם‎ after ᵐ5; Klo^{l.c. suggests} ‎בְּתֹם‎ or ‎כְּתֹם‎ as possible, though not necessary; — but view stated first is on the whole best.
