Difference between revisions of "Manahath"

<p> <strong> [[Manahath]] </strong> <strong> 1. </strong> [[Mentioned]] only in &nbsp; 1 Chronicles 8:5 as the place to which certain [[Benjamite]] clans were carried captive. The town is probably identical with that implied in <strong> [[Manahathites]] </strong> (wh. see), with the <em> Manochô </em> of the Gr. text of &nbsp; Joshua 15:59 , and if the text in Jg. is correct, with the <strong> [[Menuhah]] </strong> of &nbsp; Judges 20:43 RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] . 2.&nbsp; [[Genesis]] 36:23 (P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] ), &nbsp; 1 Chronicles 1:40 ‘son of Shobal, son of Seir, the Horite,’ <em> i.e </em> . eponymous ancestor of a clan of Edom, or of the earlier population conquered and absorbed by Edom. </p>

<p> '''1.''' &nbsp;Genesis 36:23. [[Ptolemy]] (v. 17, sec. 3) mentions Manychiates W. of Petra: </p> <p> '''2.''' &nbsp;1 Chronicles 8:6-8; "the heads of the fathers of Geba, they removed them (led them captive, Qeri) to Manahath," "they," namely, Naaman, Ahiah, and Gera, and of these three [[Gera]] in particular, "he removed them" (led them captive). Manahath is connected possibly with the [[Manahethites]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:52; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:54) in Judah. </p>

<p> ''''' man´a ''''' - ''''' hath ''''' ( מנחת , <i> ''''' mānaḥath ''''' </i> ; Μαχαναθί , <i> ''''' Machanathı́ ''''' </i> ): </p> <p> (1) A place to which certain Benjamites, victims, apparently, of intra-tribal jealousy, were carried captive (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 8:6 ). Of this town the Manahathites were probably natives. It is possibly denoted by Manocho which [[Septuagint]] adds to the list of towns in Judah (&nbsp;Joshua 15:59 ). This place is named along with [[Bether]] ( <i> ''''' Bittir ''''' </i> ). The name seems to be preserved in that of <i> ''''' Māliḥa ''''' </i> , a large village not far from <i> ''''' Bittir ''''' </i> , Southwest of Jerusalem. The change of <i> ''''' l ''''' </i> to <i> ''''' n ''''' </i> , and vice versa, is not uncommon. The same place may be intended by Menuhah (&nbsp;Judges 20:43 the Revised Version margin), where the King James Version reads "with ease," and the Revised Version (British and American) "at their resting-place." </p> <p> (2) One of the sons of Shobal, the son of Seir the [[Horite]] (&nbsp;Genesis 36:23; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 1:40 ), the "name-father" of one of the ancient tribes in Mt. Seir, afterward subdued and incorporated in Edom. </p>

<p> (Heb. Mana'chath, '''''מָנִחִת''''' , [[Rest]] ) '','' the name of a man and of a place. </p> <p> '''1.''' (Sept. '''''Μαναχάθ''''' ''.'' ) The second named of the five sons of Shobal, the son of Seir the Horite (&nbsp;Genesis 36:23; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 1:40). B.C. cir. 1927. </p> <p> '''2.''' (Sept. '''''Μαναχαθί''''' v. r. '''''Μαχαναθί''''' ''.'' ) A town or region to which certain descendants of Ehud, of the tribe of Benjamin, appear to have been exiled from [[Geba]] by an act of his father [[Bela]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 8:6). The context would seem to indicate some locality in the land of Moab. (See [[Shaharaim]]). Some refer it to the MENUCHAH of Judah (&nbsp;Judges 9:43, A. Vers. "with ease;" comp. &nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:52; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:54), but with little probability. (See Menuchite). </p>
