Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon H1824. domi דֳּמִי noun [masculine] cessation, pause, quiet, rest; ׳ד Isa 62:6 Isa…
דֳּמִי noun [masculine] cessation, pause, quiet, rest; ׳ד Isa 62:6 Isa 62:2t.; construct דְּמִי Isa 38:10 (but see below); —
1 quiet, in phrase ׳אַלדֿ לָכֶם Isa 62:6 keep not quiet (let there be no quiet to you); in prayer to God ׳אַלדֿ לָךְ Psa 83:2 keep not quiet (inactive; || שׁקט חרשׂ,); compare ד ׳וְאַלתִּֿתְּנוּ לוֺ Isa 62:7 and give no rest to him (׳י).
2 in phrase יָמַי בִּדְמִי, 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 ᵑ9 ᵑ6, & height ᵐ5), 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 Isa 62:11a is ag. this; Brd emends בְּרֻם after ᵐ5; Klol.c. suggests בְּתֹם or כְּתֹם as possible, though not necessary; — but view stated first is on the whole best.
