Context: מֹנֶה (moneh) appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that involve the concept of measurement or allocation. It is often associated with the idea of something being counted or apportioned, whether it be time, resources, or specific instances. The root מָנָה (manah) underlines the action of counting or numbering, which is central to the understanding of מֹנֶה.

In the Berean Standard Bible, מֹנֶה is used to convey the idea of a measured or designated portion. This can be seen in passages where time is divided into specific segments or where resources are allocated according to a predetermined measure. The concept of מֹנֶה emphasizes the orderly and purposeful distribution of elements, reflecting a divine or human intention to organize and manage.

The use of מֹנֶה in the Hebrew Scriptures highlights the importance of structure and order in the biblical worldview. It underscores the belief that time and resources are gifts from God, to be used wisely and with intention. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of stewardship, where individuals are called to manage what they have been given in a way that honors God and benefits others.
