Subjects in this Topic:

men-ū´ha, men-ū´ka (מנוּחה, menūḥāh, “place of rest”; the King James Version Menuchah): Rendered in the King James Version “with ease,” the Revised Version (British and American) “at their resting-place.” Both, however, have a marginal suggestion which would make the word a place-name, which would then more naturally read “from Nuhah over against Gibeah,” thus describing the ground over which the slaughter of the Benjamites occurred. In the word “Nohah” occurs as that of a Benjamite elan. The place intended is perhaps MANAHATH (which see).
