Menluchah (Hebrews Menuchah', מנוּחָה , rest, as often) appears in the marg. of the A. V. at Jg 20:43 (Sept. [Vat.] ἀπὸ Νουά, Vulg. and A. V. "with ease," as if מַנּוּחָה), and Jer 51:59 (Sept. δώρων, Vulg. prophetice, AV. "quiet"). The Sept. likewise, in the remarkable list of additional towns in Judah (Jos 15:59), seems to make mention of it (Μανοχώ). Furst (Hebrews Lex. s.v.) thinks it the place in Benjamin called Manochath (1Ch 8:6) or Hatsi-ham-Menuchoth (1Ch 2:54). But all this is doubtful, and the word is rather an appellative. SEE MENUCHITE.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later.
