dove of the dumbness of the distance; i.e., "the silent dove in distant places", title of Psalms 56 . This was probably the name of some well known tune or melody to which the psalm was to be sung.
(a dumb love of (in) distant places ), a phrase found once only in the Bible, as a heading to the 56th psalm. Aben Ezra, who regards Jonath-elem-rechokim as merely indicating the modulation or the rhythm of the psalm, appears to come the nearest to the meaning of the passage.
