It conveys the idea of safety and protection, often in the context of seeking shelter from danger or distress. The word emphasizes the act of fleeing to a secure location or finding solace in a time of trouble.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of refuge was significant, both physically and spiritually. Cities of refuge were established as safe havens for those who accidentally committed manslaughter, allowing them protection from avengers until a fair trial could be conducted (Numbers 35:9-15). Spiritually, God is often depicted as a refuge for His people, a place of safety and deliverance from enemies and life's adversities.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/4498.htm">manos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>flight<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fugitives (1), though (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מְנוּסָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>flight</b></font>;
