Mishma
The name "Mishma" is derived from the Hebrew root "שָׁמַע" (shama), meaning "to hear" or "to listen." This name can be seen as a reminder of the importance of listening to God's word and being attentive to His guidance. In a broader biblical context, the act of listening is often associated with obedience and faithfulness. Mishma, as a descendant of Ishmael, represents one of the tribes that would have been familiar with the accounts and traditions passed down from Abraham, emphasizing the importance of hearing and preserving the faith.

Dumah
"Dumah" is a name that can be translated to mean "silence" or "stillness," derived from the Hebrew root "דּוּמָה" (dumah). This name evokes a sense of peace and contemplation, suggesting a spiritual state where one can reflect on God's presence and purpose. In the biblical narrative, silence is often a precursor to divine revelation or a time of waiting upon the Lord. Dumah, as a name, encourages believers to find moments of quietness in their lives to better hear God's voice and understand His will.

Massa
The name "Massa" comes from the Hebrew root "מַשָּׂא" (massa), meaning "burden" or "oracle." This term can be associated with the prophetic messages or burdens that God places on His people. In the context of Genesis, Massa represents one of the tribes descended from Ishmael, highlighting the diverse roles and responsibilities that different groups and individuals have in God's plan. The concept of a "burden" in scripture often relates to the calling or mission that God entrusts to His followers, encouraging them to carry out His work with diligence and faith.

Verse 14. - And Mishma, - "Hearing" (Gesenius); Masma (LXX., Vulgate); connected with the Maisaimeneis, north-east of Medina (Knobel) - and Dumah, - "Silence;" same as Stony Dumah, or Syrian Dumah, in Arabia, on the edge of the Syrian desert (Gesenius); mentioned in Isaiah 21:11 - and Massa, - "Burden;" north-east of Dumah are the Massanoi.
