Dumah (Heb. דּוּמָה dūmā, "silence") is an angel mentioned in Rabbinical and Islamic literature as an angel who has authority over the wicked dead.[1][2] 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". Dumah is the Aramaic word for silence.
