Nehusha (Hebrew: נְחוּשָׁה, lit. Steadfast) is a moshav in central Israel. Located five kilometres north-east of Beit Guvrin, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 240.
The moshav was established in 1955, but collapsed in 1968. It was re-established in 1981. Its name is derived from Psalms 18:35 (where it is translated as brass, although its meaning is steadfast or firm);
Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
Nehusha is established on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Umm Burj.[2]
