ma.no.ach denotes a place or condition of settling, sought, found, or absent in the biblical clauses supplied.

The attested absolute-form uses describe a place or condition in which a foot, creature, or person may settle: it is absent for the dove, for exiles, and among hostile nations, found by a night-creature, and sought for Ruth. One construct-form occurrence stands in a genealogical verse where the translation does not make its contribution identifiable.

1. A place or condition of settling · dominant

   In Genesis 8:9 the absolute form occurs where the dove finds no place to set its foot; in Deuteronomy 28:65 and Lamentations 1:3 the APB renders the surrounding clauses with no "resting place." Isaiah 34:14 presents a creature that "finds a resting place," while Ruth 3:1 places the term in Naomi's purpose to seek such a place for Ruth.

2. Construct-form occurrence in a genealogical listing · rare

   In 1 Chronicles 6:16 the form is tagged as a construct singular noun, but the APB renders only the list of Levi's sons; the term's specific contribution cannot be isolated from the supplied verse.

   1 Chronicles 6:16

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB often presents the surrounding clause with "resting place," including its absence in Deuteronomy 28:65 and Lamentations 1:3 and its finding in Isaiah 34:14. In Genesis 8:9 it instead renders the situation as no place to set the dove's foot; these are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
