de.ma.mah denotes a state of quietness, heard after fire, before a voice, and when a tempest is stilled.

The attested verses depict quietness as an audible or imposed stillness: it follows fire in 1 Kings 19:12, precedes a heard voice in Job 4:16, and describes the calming of a tempest in Psalm 107:29.

1. Quietness after disturbance or before speech · dominant

   The feminine singular absolute noun occurs where stillness follows a striking event or frames a voice: in 1 Kings 19:12 the APB renders the closing clause "a voice of thin silence," and in Job 4:16 it renders "there was silence, and then I heard a voice." In Psalm 107:29, the APB renders the tempest as stilled "to silence" and its waves as hushed.

   1 Kings 19:12Job 4:16Psalm 107:29

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the noun with "silence" in 1 Kings 19:12 and Job 4:16, and with the tempest stilled "to silence" in Psalm 107:29. These renderings confirm the clauses' quietness without fixing a separate English equivalent in each verse.
