Usage: The verb מָנַע (manáʿ) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of withholding or restraining something, often in the context of preventing harm or denying benefit. It can refer to both physical and abstract forms of withholding. Context: • The root מָנַע (manáʿ) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often conveying the idea of withholding or restraining. It is used to describe actions where something is deliberately kept back or denied. • In Genesis 30:2, Jacob's anger is kindled against Rachel, and he says, "Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?" Here, מָנַע is used to describe God's action of withholding children. • In Job 22:7, Eliphaz accuses Job of withholding water from the weary, using מָנַע to illustrate a lack of compassion or provision. • Psalm 84:11 states, "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly." This verse uses מָנַע to affirm God's generosity towards the righteous. • The concept of מָנַע is also found in the prophetic literature, such as in Isaiah 58:1, where the people are accused of withholding justice and righteousness. • The verb is used in both positive and negative contexts, highlighting either the protective aspect of withholding harm or the negative aspect of denying good.
