נוּחַ fut. יָנוּחַ
(1) to rest, to sit down, to set oneself down any where to take rest.-The original idea lies in respiring, drawing breath, הָשִׁיב רוּחַ; compare cogn. Arab. راح I., II., IV., X., to rest, to be quiet; prop. to draw breath, from which idea comes also Germ. ruhen (ruchen), of the same stock as riechen (lower German ruken, rüken, compare ruahen, to desire). Arab. ناخ specially is, to kneel down as a camel; Conj.IV. causat. مُنَاخُ a place where camels lie down. Syr. and Chald. i.q. Hebr. Eth. ነህየ፡ to respire, to rest; compare under נָוָה.-E.g. used of an army, Isaiah 7:2; 2 Samuel 21:10 compare Joshua 3:13 (Arab. ناخ IV. to pitch a camp); used of a host of locusts, or bees, Exodus 10:14; Isaiah 7:19 also used of inanimate things, as Noah’s ark, Genesis 8:4 of the ark of the covenant, Numbers 10:36. Constr. absol. Nu. loc. cit.; and followed by בְּ Ex. loc. cit.; and עַל of place, Genesis 8:4; Isaiah 7:2, 19. Metaph. of the Spirit of God coming down upon any one; followed by עַל Numbers 11:25, 26 Numbers 11:26 compare Isaiah 11:2.
(2) to rest, to be at rest, specially
(a) from labour, i.q. שָׁבַת Exodus 20:11, 23:12 Deuteronomy 5:14.
(b) from troubles and calamities, followed by מִן Job 3:26; Esther 9:22. Impers. Job 3:13, אָז יָנוּחַ לִי “then I should have had rest.” Isaiah 23:12 Neh. 9:28.
(c) i.q. to reside, to remain, Ecclesiastes 7:9, “anger remains in the breast of a fool.” Proverbs 14:33; Psalms 125:3, “the rod of the wicked shall not remain on the lot of the righteous;” compare Isaiah 30:32.
(d) i.q. to be silent; 1 Samuel 25:9.

(1) to set down, to deposit any one in any place, Ezekiel 37:1, 40:2 to let down one’s hand, Exodus 17:11 to lay a scourge upon any one, Isaiah 30:32. Metaph. הֵנִיחַ חֲמָתוֹ בּ׳ to deposit one’s wrath, i.e. to satisfy it, to accomplish it on any one, Ezekiel 5:13, 16:42 21:22 24:13 Zechariah 6:8.
(2) to cause to rest, Ezekiel 44:30; Isaiah 30:32 commonly followed by a dat. to give rest to any one, Isaiah 28:12, 14:3 often used of Jehovah, who after the conquest of the Canaanites gave to his people quiet possession of the promised land, Exodus 33:14; Joshua 1:13, 15 Joshua 1:15; Deuteronomy 3:20, 12:10 וְהֵנִיחַ לָכֶם מִכָּל־אֹיְבֵיכֶם מִסָּבִיב “and he will give you rest from all your enemies round about.” Deuteronomy 25:19; Joshua 21:44 (compare in the New Test. καταπαύω, κατάπανσις).

(1) to set down, to lay down (niederfeßen, niederlegen) in any place, followed by אֶל, בְּ of place, -1 Ki. 13:2931 ; specially to deposit for safe keeping, Ezekiel 42:14, 44:19 before Jehovah, Exodus 16:33, 34 Exodus 16:34 Nu. 17:22 Deuteronomy 26:4, 10 Deuteronomy 26:10; 1 Kings 8:9 also to place, to set, as a statue, 2 Kings 17:29 a people, or soldiers in any land (verfeßen), Isaiah 14:1; Ezekiel 37:14; 2 Chronicles 1:14 הִנִּיחַ בְּמִשְׁמָר “to give any one into custody;” Levit. 24:12 Numbers 15:34 and more strongly to cast down, Numbers 19:9.
