Janohah
Janohah means "he rests" in Hebrew.
Janohah is the name of one or more places mentioned in the Bible.
The Book of Joshua, 16:6 and 16:7, places a Janohah on the northern border of the Tribe of Ephraim: "the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah; And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth". The site of Janohah is thought by some to be at Yanun or nearby Khirbet Yanun, but this is disputed.
A Janohah is also mentioned in 2 Kings 15:29: "came Tiglath-Pileser I king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria".
