'Silence' in the Bible

So [when] he permitted [him], Paul, standing there on the steps, motioned with [his] hand to the people. And [when there] was a great silence, he addressed [them] in the Aramaic language, saying,

whom it is necessary to silence, whoever are ruining whole families [by] teaching [things] which must not be [taught] for the sake of dishonest gain.

For the will of God is as follows: [by] doing good to silence the ignorance of foolish people.

And when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven [for] about half an hour.
