Strong's Lexicon menusah: Refuge, Escape Original Word: מְנוּסָה Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּס (nus), meaning "to flee" or "to escape." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2706 (katapheugō): To flee for refuge - G4625 (skandalon): A trap or snare, often used metaphorically for a stumbling block, contrasting the idea of refuge Usage: The term "menusah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a place or state of refuge or escape. It conveys the idea of safety and protection, often in the context of seeking shelter from danger or distress. The word emphasizes the act of fleeing to a secure location or finding solace in a time of trouble. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of refuge was significant, both physically and spiritually. Cities of refuge were established as safe havens for those who accidentally committed manslaughter, allowing them protection from avengers until a fair trial could be conducted (Numbers 35:9-15). Spiritually, God is often depicted as a refuge for His people, a place of safety and deliverance from enemies and life's adversities.
