A second meaning of "dumb" is an inability to speak.  This is a more archaic term, but is common in older literature, including the [[Bible]].  A more common word for dumb today is "[[mute]]".  During his earthly ministry, [[Jesus]] healed the "dumb".  An inability to speak could be a condition from birth or else manifest itself later in life through an accident or illness.  [[Stroke]]s have been known to render their victims unable to speak, although oftentimes this is temporary.
