Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root נוּחַ (nuach), meaning "to rest" or "to settle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Janoach, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: Janoach is used as a proper noun referring to a location in the biblical text. It is mentioned in the context of territorial boundaries and conquests. Context: Janoach, also spelled Janochah, is a town mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the tribal allotments of Israel. It is located in the territory of Ephraim, as described in the Book of Joshua. The town is noted in Joshua 16:6-7, where it is listed among the border towns of the tribe of Ephraim: "Then it went out westward to the border of the Japhletites, as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon, and to Gezer, and it ended at the sea. From Tappuah the border went westward to the Brook of Kanah and ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Ephraim according to their clans." (BSB) Janoach is also mentioned in 2 Kings 15:29, where it is recorded as one of the towns captured by the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser III during his campaign against the northern kingdom of Israel: "In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee—all the land of Naphtali—and he took the people to Assyria." (BSB) The exact location of Janoach is not definitively known today, but it is generally believed to have been situated in the central region of ancient Israel, within the boundaries of the tribe of Ephraim. The name Janoach, meaning "rest," may reflect the town's historical significance as a place of settlement and stability within the tribal lands.
