Strong's Lexicon manod: Wandering, Restlessness, Swaying Original Word: מָנוֹד Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּד (nud), which means "to wander" or "to flee." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concept can be found in words like πλάνη (planē - G4106), which means "wandering" or "error," and ἀστατέω (astateō - G790), meaning "to be unsettled" or "to wander." Usage: The term "manod" is used to describe a state of wandering or restlessness. It conveys the idea of being unsettled or in a state of constant movement without a fixed destination. This word can also imply a sense of instability or lack of peace. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of wandering was often associated with judgment or divine displeasure. The Israelites' 40 years of wandering in the desert is a prime example of this. Being a wanderer or in a state of restlessness was often seen as a curse or punishment, reflecting a lack of divine favor or blessing. In a nomadic society, stability and a permanent home were highly valued, making the state of "manod" undesirable.
