Strong's Lexicon manoach: Resting place, rest Original Word: מָנוֹחַ Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּחַ (nuach), meaning "to rest" or "to settle down." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2663 καταπαύσις (katapausis) – rest, resting place - G373 ἀνάπαυσις (anapausis) – rest, cessation Usage: The term "manoach" refers to a place or state of rest, tranquility, or repose. It is often used in the context of finding a physical or spiritual place of rest and peace. The word conveys a sense of relief from labor or struggle, suggesting a divinely provided respite. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of rest was deeply significant, both physically and spiritually. The Sabbath, a day of rest, was a central aspect of Jewish life, symbolizing trust in God's provision and a foretaste of eternal rest. The idea of a "resting place" also held connotations of security and divine blessing, often associated with the Promised Land as a place of rest for the Israelites after their wanderings.
