Strong's Lexicon manos: Refuge, escape Original Word: מָנוֹס Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּס (nus), meaning "to flee" or "to escape." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2706: katapheugō (to flee for refuge) - G2685: kataphygē (refuge, shelter) Usage: The term "manos" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a place or means of escape, often implying a refuge or sanctuary where one can find safety from danger or distress. It conveys the idea of seeking protection and deliverance from adversaries or perilous situations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of refuge was significant, both physically and spiritually. Cities of refuge were established as safe havens for those who accidentally committed manslaughter, allowing them to escape the avenger of blood until a fair trial could be conducted (Numbers 35:9-15). Spiritually, God is often depicted as a refuge for His people, a place of safety and protection amidst life's trials and tribulations.
