Strong's Lexicon Dimnah: Dimnah Original Word: דִּמְנָה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be dumb or silent Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Dimnah, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of Levitical cities can be related to Greek terms for cities or places of dwelling, such as πόλις (polis, Strong's Greek 4172). Usage: Dimnah is a Levitical city mentioned in the Old Testament. It is one of the cities given to the Levites, specifically from the tribe of Zebulun, as part of their inheritance in the Promised Land. The name itself does not carry a specific meaning in the context of its usage in the Bible, but it is identified as a place of residence for the Levitical priesthood. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the Levites were set apart for religious duties and did not receive a territorial inheritance like the other tribes. Instead, they were given specific cities and surrounding pasturelands throughout the tribes of Israel. Dimnah, as one of these Levitical cities, played a role in supporting the Levites in their service to God and the community. The allocation of cities to the Levites ensured that they were distributed among the tribes, facilitating their religious and educational roles.
