Imnah (Jimnah); a personal name, possibly meaning 'good fortune' or 'right side'
A proper name possibly connected to the Arabic yumn ('good fortune') or yamnah ('right side'), suggesting an auspicious naming. Imnah appears primarily as a son of Asher in the patriarchal genealogies (Gen 46:17; 1 Chr 7:30), and his descendants form the clan of the Imnites (Num 26:44). A separate Imnah serves as a Levite under Hezekiah, overseeing temple offerings (2 Chr 31:14). French and German sometimes leave the Hebrew unvocalized in glosses, while English and Spanish consistently transliterate as 'Imnah/Yimnah.'
Senses
1. sense 1 — A proper name designating two distinct individuals. The primary Imnah is a son of Asher whose clan (the Imnites) is enumerated in the tribal census of Num 26:44. The genealogical listing appears also in Gen 46:17 and 1 Chr 7:30. A second Imnah is a Levite who assisted in distributing freewill offerings during Hezekiah's reforms (2 Chr 31:14). The possible Arabic cognate yumn ('prosperity') may reflect a birth-blessing name. Translations uniformly render it as 'Imnah' or 'Jimnah.' 5×
