DUMAH (Place)

1. Region of the 12 tribes of Ishmael (Gn 25:14; 1 Chr 1:30) where there were a number of oases; identified with el-Jof, modern Dumat el-Jendel. This place was located about three-fourths of the way from Damascus to Medina.

2. Town in the highlands allotted to Judah’s tribe for an inheritance (Jos 15:52). Its site is probably identifiable with ed-Domeh, 10 miles (16.1 kilometers) southwest of Hebron.

3. Hebrew term referring to the land of silence or death; that is, the place of graves (Pss 94:17; 115:17).

4. Perhaps a designation for Edom or Idumea in Isaiah 21:11.
