rest, †amus; ᵐ5ᵑ6 ᵑ7 Onk strength, reading perhaps רבאך compare Samaritan רביך, see Di) וּכְיָמֶיךָ דָּבְֶאךָ׃ Deuteronomy 33:25.
דֹּבֶא m. languor, rest, poetically used of death. Once found Deuteronomy 33:25, כְּיָמֶיךָ דָּבְאֶךָ “as thy days (thy life) so thy death,” [“Ges. corr. ‘as thy days so shall thy rest be,’ as long as thy life endures, so long shall thy condition of rest continue, q. d. thy prosperity.”] Vulg. senectus tua; not amiss, as far as the etymology is concerned, but old age is not very well put in opposition to life. Another trace of this root is found in the pr.n. מֵידִבָא (“water of rest”).
