MINCHA

Volume 14 · 85 words · 1823 Edition

in the Jewish customs, offerings of meal, cakes, or biscuits, made in the temple of the Lord. The Seventy have sometimes preserved this word in their translation; but instead of mincha they read manna, which doubtless was the received pronunciation in their time. We find manna in the same sense, in Baruch i. 10. Levit. ii. 3. &c. See the Greek of Jerem. xvii. 26. Dan. ii. 46. 2 Kings viii. 5. xvii. 7. xx. 12. 2 Chron. vii. 7. Nehem. xiii. 5. 9. &c.
