The Silence and Stillness of Death
Duma(h) or Douma (Aramaic, "silence")-- the angel of
silence and of the stillness of death, Dumah is also the tutelary angel of
Egypt, prince of Hell, and angel of vindication. The Zohar speaks
of him as having "tens of thousands of angels of destruction" under him, and as
being "Chief of demons in Gehinnom [i.e., Hell] with
12,000 myriads of attendants, all charged with the punishment of the
souls of sinners." [Rf. Müller, History of Jewish Mysticism.]
In the babylonian legend of the descent of Istar into Hades, Dumah shows
up as the guardian of the 14th gate. [Rf. Forlong, Encyclopedia
of Religions.] Dumah is a popular figure in Yiddish folklore. I.B. Singer's
Short Friday (1964), a collection of stories, mentions Dumah as a
"thousand-eyed angel of death, armed with a fiery rod or flaming sword."
