Strong's Lexicon manah: To count, number, reckon, assign, appoint Original Word: מָנָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5504: χιλιάς (chilias) - a thousand, used in contexts of counting or numbering. - G2525: καθίστημι (kathistēmi) - to appoint, set, or establish. Usage: The Hebrew verb "manah" primarily means to count or number, but it also extends to the idea of appointing or assigning something or someone for a specific purpose. This term is used in various contexts, including the numbering of people, the assigning of tasks, and the divine appointment of events or individuals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, counting and numbering were significant for organizational and religious purposes. The census, for example, was crucial for military organization and for determining the distribution of land and resources. The concept of divine appointment, where God assigns roles or tasks, is a recurring theme in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the belief in God's sovereign control over history and individual lives.
