STRONGS NT 1148: Δαλμανουθά

Δαλμανουθά (on the accent cf. Tdf. Proleg., p. 103), ἡ, Dalmanutha, the name of a little town or village not far from Magdala (better Magadan (which see)), or lying within its territory: Mark 8:10 (cf. Matthew 15:39), see Fritzsche at the passage (B. D. American edition under the word). Derivation of the name uncertain; cf. Keim, ii. 528 ((English translation 4:238), who associates it with Zalmonah, Numbers 33:41f, but mentions other opinions. Furrer in the Zeitschr. des Deutsch. Palaestin.-Vereins for 1879, p. 58ff identifies it with Minyeh (abbrev. Manutha, Latinmensa)).

Word Origin: Of uncertain origin; possibly of Aramaic or Hebrew derivation.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Hebrew entries for Dalmanoutha, as it is a place name mentioned only in the Greek New Testament. However, its potential Aramaic or Hebrew roots suggest a connection to the geographical and cultural setting of the Galilean region during the time of Jesus.

Usage: The term Δαλμανουθά appears once in the New Testament, in the Gospel of Mark.

Context: Dalmanoutha is referenced in the New Testament in Mark 8:10: "He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the region of Dalmanoutha." This passage follows the account of the feeding of the four thousand, where Jesus performs a miracle by multiplying loaves and fish to feed a large crowd. After this event, Jesus and His disciples travel by boat to Dalmanoutha.

The exact location of Dalmanoutha remains a subject of scholarly debate. Some suggest it may be synonymous with Magdala, the town associated with Mary Magdalene, due to its proximity to the Sea of Galilee. Others propose it could be a small village or district near the more well-known locations of Capernaum or Tiberias.

The mention of Dalmanoutha in the Gospel of Mark highlights the itinerant nature of Jesus' ministry, as He traveled throughout the region, teaching and performing miracles. The brief reference to this location underscores the historical and geographical context of the Gospel narratives, providing insight into the movements and activities of Jesus and His disciples.
