Strong's Lexicon Menashshi: Manasseh Original Word: מְנַשֶּׁי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root נָשָׁה (nashah), meaning "to forget" or "to cause to forget." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3128 (Manassēs): This Greek entry refers to Manasseh, used in the New Testament genealogies (e.g., Matthew 1:10). Usage: The name Menashshi, or Manasseh, is primarily used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to two significant figures: the elder son of Joseph, born in Egypt, and a king of Judah. The name is often interpreted to mean "causing to forget," reflecting Joseph's sentiment of forgetting his hardships in his father's house (Genesis 41:51). Cultural and Historical Background: - Manasseh, Son of Joseph: Manasseh was the firstborn son of Joseph and Asenath, an Egyptian woman. He was one of the patriarchs of the tribes of Israel, with his descendants forming the tribe of Manasseh. This tribe was significant in the settlement of the Promised Land, with portions on both sides of the Jordan River. - Manasseh, King of Judah: Manasseh was a king of Judah known for his long reign and for leading the nation into idolatry, which included the worship of Baal and Asherah, and the shedding of innocent blood. His reign is detailed in 2 Kings 21 and 2 Chronicles 33. Despite his initial apostasy, he repented later in life, which is a testament to God's mercy and forgiveness.
