BDB1965 [H1824]

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.
