"" דִּמָּה q. v.

Genesis 1:26, “let us make man.… כִּדְמוּתֵנוּ according to our image;” compare 5:1,, “he begat a son בִּדְמוּתוֹ כְצַלְמוֹ according to his likeness, after his image;” 2 Chronicles 4:3, דְּמוּת בְּקָרִים “images of oxen,” cast, molten oxen; Isaiah 40:18, מַה־דְּמוּת תַּעַרְכוּ לוֹ “what image will ye compare to him?”
(2) model, pattern, 2 Kings 16:10.
(3) appearance, Ezekiel 1:16, דְּמוּת אֶחָד לְאַרְבַּעְתּן “those four had one appearance.” Followed by a genitive, the appearance of any thing, that is, an appearance resembling something, when any thing seen in a dream or vision is described as not clearly seen; Ezekiel 1:5, וּמִתּוֹכָהּ דְּמוּת אַרְבַּע חַיּוֹת “and in the midst of it was the appearance of four living creatures,” i.e. a certain appearance like four living creatures; verse 26 Ezekiel 1:26, דְּמוּת כִּסֵּא “the appearance of a throne;” verse 28 Ezekiel 1:28, 8:2 10:1, 21 Ezekiel 10:21; Daniel 10:16. Compare מַרְאֶה. Hence
