Metaphysical meaning of Ashnah (mbd)
Ashnah, ash'-nah (Heb.)--hard; strong; firm; robust; change; transform; shining; bright.
Two different towns of Judah (Josh. 15:33, 43).
Meta. A change is continually taking place in man's organism. An adjustment in thought is constantly going on; cells of the body are each moment passing away to make room for new ones. When this change is brought about by praise and thanksgiving, founded in spiritual understanding and substance (the true Judah), a real transformation is the result; the individual grows more firmly fortified (hard, strong, firm, robust, transform, shining, bright) in life and Truth day by day. This is what Ashnah symbolizes.
