(Hebrews Menuchah', מְנוּחָה, rest, as often) appears in the marg. of the A. V. at Judges 20:43 (Sept. [Vat.] ἀπὸ Νουά, Vulg. and A. V. "with ease," as if מַנּוּחָה ), and Jeremiah 51:59 (Sept. δώρων , Vulg. prophetice, AV. "quiet"). The Sept. likewise, in the remarkable list of additional towns in Judah (Joshua 15:59), seems to make mention of it (Μανοχώ ). Furst (Hebrews Lex. s.v.) thinks it the place in Benjamin called Manochath (1 Chronicles 8:6) or Hatsi-ham-Menuchoth (1 Chronicles 2:54). But all this is doubtful, and the word is rather an appellative. (See MENUCHITE).
