This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the name Μανασσῆς as it appears in the biblical text, highlighting its historical and theological significance.

Usage: The name Μανασσῆς appears in the New Testament, specifically in genealogical contexts, referring to both a tribe of Israel and a king of Judah.

Context: Μανασσῆς (Manassēs) is a significant name in biblical history, appearing in both the Old and New Testaments. In the New Testament, the name is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 1:10). This reference is to King Manasseh of Judah, who was known for his long reign and for leading Judah into idolatry, as described in the Old Testament (2 Kings 21:1-18; 2 Chronicles 33:1-20). Despite his initial wickedness, King Manasseh is noted for his repentance later in life.

The name also refers to the tribe of Manasseh, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after Manasseh, the firstborn son of Joseph and Asenath, an Egyptian woman (Genesis 41:51). The tribe of Manasseh was divided into two half-tribes, with portions of land on both sides of the Jordan River. This division is significant in the context of Israel's settlement in the Promised Land (Joshua 13:29-31; Joshua 17:1-18).

The name Manasseh carries the meaning "causing to forget," which is rooted in Joseph's declaration that God had made him forget all his hardship and his father's house (Genesis 41:51). This etymology reflects the themes of forgiveness and divine providence that are woven throughout the biblical narrative.
