Manahathites; descendants of Manahath, a Judahite clan
This gentilicadjective appears only in 1 Chronicles 2:52, referring to 'half of the Manahathites' (or possibly 'half of the Menuhoth') as descendants of Salma. The textual witnesses vary, and the exact identity and location of this Judahite group remains uncertain. BDB suggests emending verse 52 to match verse 54's clearer reference.
Senses
1. sense 1 — 1 Chronicles 2:52 contains both occurrences in the phrase 'half of the Manahathites/Menuhoth.' The Hebrew differs between Ketiv and Qere, reflected in the varied glosses. Spanish 'los menujotitas, mitad de' (the Menuhothites, half of) attempts to capture both the group name and the partitive construction. The reference appears twice due to textual variants. 2×
