PEEFACE. 



The general scope and aim of this Manual for Bible-Readers is 
thus stated by the Author in his preface to the first edition, 
which was published in 1828 : — 

'^ Plain and simple as the language of the Bible generally is, 
there are many words and phrases in it which common readers 
cannot understand without some explanation. To every person, 
therefore, it must be obvious, that a brief Ghssa/ry or Dictionary 
for this purpose, would be of much benefit. As one unknown 
word in a sentence often obscures the whole of it, so just 
views of the various terms employed in this Holy Book, 
though accompanied with no comment, will greatly assist such 
persons in understanding what they read. To furnish this 
help is here attempted. Every difficult word is here briefly 
explained — figurative language is illustrated — allusions to 
eastern customs shortly noticed — the situation of cities, coun- 
tries, (fee., mentioned — and the symbolical style of prophecy 
expounded. 

"This little work is intended not only to assist unlearned 
readers in understanding the language of the Bible, but chiefly in 
readily turning to the places where every topic of information 
compiised in it occurs. This, to all classes of readers, must be 
of high importance. Among those who are well acquainted 
with the Bible, there are few who are able to recollect the book, 
chapter, and verse where suitable texts are to be met with in 
proof of every doctrine, and which treat of every person, event, 



IV PREFACE, 

&c., which it contains. To aid the memory in this is the 
principal design of this Index, Whatever relates to the various 
persons, places, and subjects mentioned in it, is here accurately 
referred to, and may easily be found. A brief outline of doc- 
trines and duties is also exhibited, by which, it is hoped, just 
sentiments may be formed of the great and important truths and 
requirements of Divine Revelation. While, therefore, this Index 
may serve in place of a Concordance^ for ordinary readers, its 
superiority to any of them, except those which are large and 
expensive, must be evident. They commonly refer to texts 
without any connection, except that of a single leading word ; 
and they take no notice either of persons or places. Whereas 
all that relates to persons, places, and subjects is here presented 
collectively and in the arrangement and connection of aefmeP 

The work was twice revised by the Author as demands for 
new editions arose. It thus grew under his hand tiU it gained 
the chai'acter of "the most complete Index to the Scriptures, 
and one of the most useful works for Sabbath-school teachers 
and students of the sacred Volume existing in the English 
language." 

After the Author's death it was again revised by the Rev. 
John Allan, author of an excellent exposition and defence of 
the doctrines involved in the Unitarian controversy. He verified 
anew all the references so as to secure the utmost accuracy, 
and also added considerably to the contents of the work. 

For the space of well-nigh fifty years this important work, 
under the title of Barr^s Scripture Stvdent^s Assistant, has been 
in constant demand, the numerous editions that have been 
disposed of showing the increasing estimate of its value. 

The new and enlarged edition now offered to the public has 
once more undergone a thorough revision, so as to adapt it more 
fully to the requirements of the present times. It has been 
considerably enlarged by the introduction of additional j^rticles, 
and by extending and, where necessary; remodelling existing

articles. No pains have been spared to make the Work 
thoroughly reliable, and, for all practical purposes, complete. 
It is believed that the student will find no word or proper name 
of the least importance omitted. The meaning of all propei 
names wherever ascertained has been given, and their correct 
pronunciation pointed out (1) by the device of a system of 
spelling and syllabication presented along with the common 
form of the word, and (2) by the use of accents. This has been 
done on a uniform system and in accordance with the recognized 
canons of pronunciation. 

In no department of intellectual activity in recent years has 
so much been achieved as in that of Biblical literature. The 
critical researches of scholars and the discoveries of geographical 
exploration that have been of late carried on with so much skill 
and industry in Bible lands, have resulted in a large increase of 
facts and principles of the highest importance to every Bible 
student. These the Editor has, so far as practicable, introduced 
into this Work, so that the reader will here find himself supplied, 
though in a necessarily condensed form, with the best fruits of 
modem scholarship and with the most valuable results of 
topographical discoveries, many of them of very recent date, 
which have led to the identification of the sites of numerous 
places mentioned in Scripture that were previously unknown 
or considered doubtful. The articles on places have throughout, 
while passing through the press, been revised by the Rev. 
J. L. Porter, d.d., ll.d., author of Murray's Handbook of 
Syria, &c. 

Several chronological and other tables have been added, 
which, it is believed, will greatly conduce to the usefulness of 
the Work. 

Combining thus in a good degree all the advantages of a 
concordance of subjects and of a Bible-dictionary, as well as of 
a brief summary of critical and doctrinal exposition, the Work 
now once more sent forth to the public will be found of essential 



VI PREFACE. 

service to all ministers and Sabbath-school teachers, and to 
Bible-readers generally, as a convenient and useful book of 
reference. 

That this little Work may carry with it the divine blessing, 
and may in some degree prove instrumental in assisting many 
to read the Word of Grod with intelligence and spiritual profit, 
is the earnest prayer of the Editor.

KULES FOR THE PEONUNCIATION OF 
SCEIPTURE PEOPER NAMES. 



L— THE VOWEL LETTERS. 

1. When a vowel letter constitutes an accented syllable, or ends one, 
it is pronounced long, as A'bel, E'noch, I'sa-ac, O'bed, U'ri, A-ba'na, Be'er, 
I>i'nah, Mo'ses, Lu'bim. Exceptions are marked with a short quantity, 
as MSlech'. 

2. When accented syllables end with a consonant the vowel is pronounced 
short, as A-bag'tha, Ben'ja-min, Bil'dad, Boz'rah, Hurdah. Exceptions are 
marked with a long quantity, as tTz. 

3. When the letter a constitutes an unaccented syllable, and when it ends 
one, it is pronounced as a in fat, 

4. In Hebrew names the digraph ai in a syllable is to be pronounced as a 
of faUj but made longer. In Greek names it is pronounced like the EngUsh 
affirmative ay, the a being like that of far and the i like that in pin. 

5. A followed by r in the same syllable is pronounced like a in far, as 
in Tar'shish. 

6. The digraph ati, as in Paul, is pronounced as a of fcdl. 

7. When e constitutes an unaccented syllable, as in £-li'jah, and when it 
ends one, as in Be-ri'ah, it is pronounced as e of me. 

8. When e is followed by r in the same syllable, as in Ger'shom, it is 
pronounced as e of her. And the letters i, u, and y, have the same 
sound as Kn/jath, Gur-ba'al. 

9. When i constitutes the first and last syllables of words, whether 
accented or not, as in I'jon and Tol, it is pronounced as t of pine. And i 
as the sole vowel of the syllable at the end of words, as in Im'ri, is also so 
pronounced. But when t is the sole vowel of any other unaccented syllable, 
as A-ri-da'tha, it is pronounced as i of pin. 

10. The letter y is pronounced as i. 

II.— THE CONSONANT LETTERS. 

The consonant letters, h, d, f, h, j, h, I, m, n, p, q, r, v, y, and z, have each 
but one sound, and as that is the English sound, they present no difficulty. 

11. C and g are to be pronounced hard in the proper names of the Old 
Testament. 

12. The digraph ch is pronounced as Tc, except in Cherub, Cherubim, and 
Kachel, in which it is pronounced as ch of chain, 

18. The digraph ph is pronounced as /. 

14. 8 VR pronounced as in tun. 

15. T retains its own power in Hebrew names, as in Tabor, 



• • « 



Vlll RULES FOR PRONUNCIATION. 

16. The digraph th is pronounced as in thin. The assimilation of t to th 
in Matthew and Matthias in the New Testament does not take place in 
Old Testament names; thus Matthan is not pronounced Math'than, but 
Mat'than. 

17. X at tiie beginning of syllables is pronounced as z, thus Xagus is 
Zagus. 

, 18. The trigraph iahj as in Isaiah^ is pronounced as yah; thus, I-sa'yah. 

This is one of the divine names, and a variant orthography of Jah. The 

j is always pronounced as ^* in Jew, as in Ahijah^ A-hi'jah. In the variant 

orthography of this name Ahiah, although the syllabic division bisects the 

trigraph, thus A-hi'ah, yet the accent falling upon the t, the last syllable 

may appear to the ear as yah, as if the word were vmtten and divided 

A-hilah. 

III.— THE SYLLABICATION. 

The division of a word into its constituent syllables is necessary to its 
right pronunciation. In the Hebrew language eveiy syllable begins with 
a consonant. Some syllables of these names, however, as they are printed 
in Roman letters in the English Bible, begin with a vowel, as Adam, Elijah, 
Isaiah, Obadiah, and Uriah. But such syllables will not interfere with 
the great principle of pronunciation which the Hebrew syllabic structure 
demands for Hebrew words^ viz. to give the consonant to the initial part of 
the syllable.

and 300 north of Jerusalem. It was built 
by Seleucus Nicator, B.C. 301, and was the 
residence of the Syrian kings, the Seleu- 
cidae. It was ranked the third city of the 
earth. Luke and Theophilus were bom

books sometimes placed between the Old 
and New Testaments. It was not ad- 
mitted by ancient Christians into the canon

most probably a portion of Armenia, on 
the 'mountsuns' of which the ark rested

identified with that range which rises in 
the valley of the Aras, the ancient Araxes, 
and is terminated in two peaks, the loftiest 
of which rises to a height of 17,750 feet 
above the level of the sea. The expres- 
sion, *the land of Armenia,' in 2 Ki.19.37,

Here the lid is called the mercy-seat, over 
which the Shekinak hovered like a visible 
cloud, the emblem of Jehovah's presence. 
The ark was lost when the temple was de- 
stroyed. Though a similar ark was made 
after the Jews returned from Babylon, yet

Armenia, ar-me'ne-a [high-landl, a large 
country of Western Asia, on the north of 
Mesopotamia, and on the east of Cappa- 
docia. It is generally mountainous, and 
gives rise to the Tigris and the Euphrates. 
It is 430 miles from east to west, and 300 
from north to south. It is divided into 15 
provinces, of which Ararat is the central. 
It was reduced to a Persian province of 
Cyrus. The Armenians profess Christian- 
ity, but in a very corrupted state, having 
departed very far from the purity of the 
gospel, both in doctrine and worship. They 
form a distinct religious community, known 
by the name of the Armenian Church, which 
is governed by four patriarchs, by arch- 
bishops, doctors, secular priests, and monks. 
Armenia is now subject to the Turks. In 
2 Ki. 19. 37; Is, 37. 38, the Hebrew word 
Ararat is rendered by the word Armenia. 
This country is identical with Togarmah,

also in the order of time. This grace 0/ 
assurance has been attained by saints. Job

Babel, b&'bel [confusion, mixture]. Tower 
OF, mentioned only once in Scripture, 
built in the plain of Shinar, 103 years after 
the flood. Materials of brick were pre- 
pared three years, and the building was 
carried on twenty-two years. It was of 
prodigious extent and height. About 1700 
years after its erection, Herodotus saw a 
structure at Babylon, consisting of eight 
towers, raised one above another, and each 
75 feet, in whole 600; and above the high- 
est was built the temple of Belus. Strabo 
says it was 660 feet in height. The top 
of the tower was reached by an easy slop- 
ing ascent on the outside of the building, ■ 
which went round it in a spiral form. In 
different portions were large rooms, with 
arched roofs, supported by pillars. The 
temple of Belus was supposed to be the 
ancient tower, but it is probable that it 
was a much more recent building. The 
building of Babel, and the confusion of 
tongues there, Ge. ti. x-9. The name 
Babel (in Heb.) was afterwards applied to

Babylon, b&Ve-lon [confusion, mixture], 
in Hebrew and Chald. Babel, the capital 
of the country called Shinar in Genesis, 
and in the later Scriptures Chaldea. Be- 
sides its application to the city of Baby- 
lon, the name (in Heb.) is also used to 
denote the district of Chaldea lying be- 
tween the Tigris and the Euphrates (2 Ki. 
24.1; 25.27), as well as Babylonia, the pro- 
vince of the Assyrian empire (2 Ch.32.31; 
33. 11), and also Persia, Ezr. 5. 13. The 
city of Babylon was the capital of the pro- 
vince of Babylon, and of the Chaldean 
empire. It was one of the most magnifi- 
cent cities that ever existed. It was built 
by Nimrod, the great-grandson of Noah, 
in the place where the tower of Babel was 
erected. This city was an exact square, 
built on a large plain, and was 56 miles 
in circumference, 14 miles on each side.

and 100 gates of solid brass, 25 on each 
side. It liad fifteen streets crossing one 
another at right angles, each X50 feet wide; 
and the whole city contained 676 squares. 
The famous hanging gardens^ as they are 
termed, were a succession of terraces, 
raised on arches. The river Euphrates 
ran through this city. Nebuchadnezzar, 
king of Babylon, in 1648 years after Nim- 
rod, and 588 before Christ, burned the tem- 
ple of Jerusalem, and carried many of the 
Jews to it, 2 Ki. 25.8,9; Je. 52.12-30; — the 
inhabitants were remarkable for their 
superstitious, lewd, and debauched prac-

Seleucia on the Tigris; — a few people con- 
tinued till the first century of Christ; but, 
in the second, it was deserted, and fell into 
ruins. The ruins of this once famous city 
are found near the modem village of Hil- 
lah, on the west bank/of the Euphrates, 
about 50 miles south of Bagdad. The 
most remarkable of all the mounds found 
in that region is the vast ruin called Birs 
Nimrudy about 6 miles south-west of Hil- 
lakf and which is supposed by some, 
though on insufficient grounds, to repre-

Bible, the name used since about the fourth 
century to denote the volume of sacred 
writings. It is from the Greek word bib- 
loSf signifying book. The different parts of 
this sacred volume were composed at differ- 
ent periods, during a space of about x6oo 
years from the time of Mose&downward. 
The books constituting the O. T. (thirty- 
nine in number) were collected in the 
time of Ezra and Nehemiah, after the 
return from Babylon. The collection of 
the books of the N. T. (twenty-seven in 
number) w%is gradually formed during the 
second centiuy. The fast-com^te trans- 
lation of the Bible into English was com- 
pleted by Wyckliffe, in 1384, about sixty 
years before the discovery of the art of 
printing. The N. T. was first printed by 
Tyndale at Worms in zS2S, and the Pen- 
tateuch in Z530. Till his death, in 1536, 
he was engaged in sending forth different 
editions of the N.T., and of portions of the 
O. T. Coverdale's translation was pub- 
lished in Z535, and was the first complete 
English Bible printed; it was dedicated 
to Henry VIII. Tyndale's version was 
completed by Matthew,and printed in Z537. 
In i539i Coverdale's Bible, revised under 
the sanction of Cranmer, was published. It 
was printed in large folio, and called the 
Great Bible, In Z540 another edition of it 
was printed 'by authority,' with a preface 
by Cranmer, and hence was called Cran- 
ntet's Bible. During the brief reign of 
Edward VI. eleven editions were printed. 
During Mary's persecution, Whittingham, 
Knox, &c., in their exile, made a new 



translation in Geneva. The N. T. was 
printed in Z557, the Old in Z560. It was 
called the Geneva Bible. Archbishop 
Parker, with the sanction of Queen Eliza- 
beth, and aided by various bishops, re- 
vised the existing translations, and pub- 
lished an edition in Z568, which was called 
the Bitho^ Bible. This continued to be 
in common use in the churches, as re- 
printed in Z572, junder the name of Mat- 
thew Parkef*» Bible, for about forty years. 
King James resolved to publish a revised 
translation, and for this purpose appointed 
54 learned men, 47 of whom only under- 
took the work, which was completed and 
published in i6zx, and has ever since been 
our Authorized English Version. The divi- 
sion of the Scriptures into chapters and 
verses is comparativelyamodem invention; 
and, having been resorted to for the purpose 
of facilitating reference, and not for distin- 
guishing the several subjects, the divisions 
are not alwa3r8 the most fortunate. The 
division into chapters, as they now stand in 
the Old and New Testaments, is generally 
ascribed to the schoolmen who, with Car- 
dinal Hugo of St Cher, prepared in a.d.. 
1240 a concordance for the Vulgate trans- 
lation. The Latin Bible, with postiU or 
brief notes, published by this cardinal, 
was the first that contained chapters. 
The verses into which the New Testa- 
ment is divided were introduced by Henry 
Stephen in 1551, and in this he followed 
the plan which had been applied by the 
Masorites to the Hebrew Scriptures.

(2) The Land of, so named from Canaan, 
the son of Ham, bounded by Arabia on 
the east; on the south by the wilderness 
of Paran, Idumea, and Egypt; on the west 
by the Mediterranean; and on the north 
by the mountains of Lebanon. Canaan 
proper vras about Z58 miles long, and on 
an average about 40 broad. As occupied 
by all the tribes, including those on the 
east of Jordan, it consisted of about z9,ooo 
square miles. But as extended by con- 
quest in the time of David and Solomon 
the kingdom reached to the Euphrates, 
and to the remotest confines of Edom and 
Moab, z Ki.4.2z. It has since been dis- 
tinguished by other names, such as the 
Land of Promise, the Holy Land, Judea, 
and Palestine. It is described as 'a land 
flowing with milk and honey.' It was well 
watered, very fruitful, abounding with rich 
pastures and flowers, and much diversified 
with hills and valleys, resembling the 
southern counties of Scotland. From its 
position its climate was very hot during 
eight months in the year, ^--described in

tiful land has been constantly suffering 
under the horrors of servitude and frequent 
wars. After the destruction of Jerusalem, 
A.D. 7Z, the land remained almost desolate 
till about the 4th century, when pilgrims 
began to resort to it In the beginning 
of the 7th century it was occupied by the 
Saracens, who held it till it was taken by 
the Crusaders in the Z2th. For about 80 
years after that it was the scene of con- 
stant wars between the Christians and

Saracens. After passing through various 
revolutions it was finally absorbed in the 
Turkish empire in 1317. Its once noble 
cities are now poor villages, and most of 
the former villages are utterly extinct. Its 
barren, poverty-stricken, and altogether 
ruinous condition affords a remarkable 
example of the fulfilment of the divine 
threatenmg, 'He tumeth rivers into a wil- 
derness, and the watersprings into dry 
ground; a fruitful land into barrenness, for 
the wickedness of them that dwell there- 
in,' Ps. 107. 33,34. Its cities, mountains,

Is. 66.19. It was probably peopled soon 
after the flood by the descendants of 
Japheth in the line of Javan. In the days 
of Alexander, the Greeks were masters of 
Egypt and Syria, the countries beyond 
Euphrates, and other provinces. Few 
countries are more favoured by nature, as 
to its soil, climate, and productions. Many 
of the most famous statesmen, orators, and 
generals of antiquity had their birth here. 
The arts and sciences of Greece attained 
a great eminence, as did also poetry and 
eloquence. After a long and grievous 
oppression (from the fall of the Byzantine 
empire) the Greeks arose in 1822 against 
the Turks, and ultimately gained their 
independence. The modem kingdom of 
Greece was established in 1832. In 1863 it 
was enlarged by the annexation of the 
Ionian Islands. Fop. about 1,500,000. The 
Greeks profess Christianity, but in a cor- 
rupted form, being nearly allied to Popery.

Jenualem, je-ra'sa-lem [foundation or 
habitation of peace], the metropolis of the 
kingdom of Judah, and the seat of govem< 
ment during the reigns of David, Solomon, 
and their successors. It is distant from 
the Dead Sea and Jordan valley 15 miles, 
and from the Mediterranean 31 miles. It 
was called Salem [peace], in th« time of 
Abraham, Ge. 14. 8 ; He. 7. a. It is so called 
idso in PB.76.3; and it was called yeita at 
the time Israel obtuned possession of the 
Holy Land, Jos.xs.6; 18.28: x Ch.xx.4. It 
seems probable, therefore, that the name 
yerusaUm is merely a compound of the 
termt ytbus and Salem. It is called Zion, 
iKi.8.x: — city of God, Ps.46.4,'— Katy of 
the Great King, Ps. 48. a;-~the holy city, 
Ne.xi.x-x8:— city of solemnities, Is.33.80. 
In its most flourishing state it consisted 
of four parts, built on four hills; namely, 
Zion, Acra, Moriah, and Bezetha. In 
fact, the whole foundation was a high 
rock| with four heads or hills, and with 
steep ascents on 'every side, except the 
north; and stxrrounded with a deep valley, 
which was embosomed with hills. The 
city was encompassed with three walls. 
over which there were towers, and appears 
to have been about 4)^ miles in circumfer>- 
ence. It was taken by the children of 
Judah, Ju. X. S.'-'-partly inhabited by the 
Jebusites, 91;— by David, aSa.5.6;xCh.

the temple, and of it, 34. a-^8;— >it repre- 
sents the gospel, Ga.4.36; — a new one de- 
scending from heaven. Re. 3x.3, xo. About 
seventy years after Christ it was besieged, 
taken, sacked, and burned by Titus. Above 
i,ooo,doo of the Jews perished, and 97,000 
were taken prisoners; and our Saviour's 
prediction — that it should become a heap 
of ruins — ^was fully verified. It gradually 
became settled again; but in the year 134 
the Emperor Adrian banished all the Jews, 
prohibiting their return on pain of death. 
The temple was demolished, and the site 



ploughed up. Several htmdred years after, 
this city was again rebuilt. In the year 
6x4 the Persians captured it, and 90,000 
Christians were slain. In 637 the Saracens 
seized it, and kept it till 1079, when the 
Turks became its masters. It was taken 
by the first Crusaders in X099, and held by 
the Christians till 1x87, when it was taken 
by Saladin. After varied changes it was 
tstken by the Sultan Selim I. in 15x7. In 
X543 its present walls were bmlt by Soli- 
man the Magnificent. In 1833 the Pasha 
of Egypt occupied it, but in X84Z it once 
more passed under die Turkish sceptre. 
Under the auspices of the ' Padeatine Ex- 
ploration Fund ' it is now being explored 
by meaxis of excatiaHoH*, which have 
already brought to light many very in- 
teresting facts regarding the ancient city, 
over the ruins of which the. modem one is 
built. Its present population is about 
x6,ooo, of whom 4000 are Moslems, 8000 
Jews, x8oo Greeks, X300 Latins, and about - 
900 of various nations.

— (2) Extraordinary men, raised up by 
God to deliver Israel from oppression, and 
execute judgment against their tyrants, 
before they had a Ving. When the nation 
sinned it was punished by anarchy, inva- 
sion, or conquest; but when it haid been 
duly humbled a deliverer was found. On 
six occasions, extending over a period of 
about 400 ye^b%, the land was invaded by 
the enemies of Israel. Not many years 
after the death of Joshua the people fell 
into the idolatries of the Canaanites, and 
then the series of oppressions and deliver- 
ances began.

from the following causes: Paul treats of 
the justification of awr persons before God, 
Ro.3.26; but James of the justification of 
our faith before men, as professed believ- 
ers, Ja. 2. z8; — Paul speaks of those who

are already righteous, and who give proof

height in September, and subsides to its

on the northern part of Egypt, it spreads 
about 20 miles on each side. When the 
waters subside the inhabitants sow their

Assyrian mythology, was the son of Nim- 
rod. The ina]::g;uud reading of Ge. la x i is 
to be preferred It is said to have been 60 
miles in circumference, and in the time of 
Jonah, its population, reckoning childrai 
the fifth part, must have been 600,000. It 
outstripped even Babylon itself in itsdimen- 
sioa%. DiodcHTUs Siculus affirms that its 
walls were 60 miles in compass, 100 feet in 
height, and so thick that three chariots 
abreast could be driven along their top; 
and they were defended by 1500 towers, 
each aoo feet high. In the year 6ox before 
Christ, it was completely destroyed by fire ; 
and soon after the time of Christ not a trace 
(^ it could be found. Jonah preaches there, 
Jonah 3.3; — spared on repentance, xo,m; — 
threatened with destruction, Na. L iL ui. 
The last notice of it in Scripture is in Zep. 
2.13-X5, about 630 B.C. It was for a long 
time well nigh forgotten. Shapeless mounds 
opposite Mosul were all that tradition could 
point to as remaining of it. By recent ex- 
cavations on the site, commenced in X842 
by M. Botta, French consul at Mosul, and 
in X845 by Layard and others, many re< 
markaUe sculptured monuments have been 
discovered, which, from their structiure and 
inscriptions, illustrate certain notable fea- 
tures of that ancient city, and confirm 
notices of it in the histories of ancient 
authors. 

Niaan, nl'san [month of flowers or new 
day], the first month of the Jewish eccUsi- 

■asiical year, Ne.a.x. It began about the 
time of the vernal equinox, as the civil year 
like that of the Egyptians began about the 
time of the autumnsil equinox. See Abib. 

Niaroch, nis'rok [great eagle], an idol of 
the Assyrians, 2 Ki.x9.37: Is.37.38. 

Kitre, Pr. 25.20; Je.a.8a, not saltpetre, but 
natron or soda, a natural mineral alkali, 
an incrustation found at the bottom of 
various lakes in Egypt afler the summer 
heat has evaporated the water. It is used 
for washing. 

Ko [place, portion], a once populous city of 
£gypti generally thought to be Thebes or 
Diospolis, Je. 46. 25; Eze. 30. X4,z5,i6. In 
Na.3.8 it is called 'populous No,* in the 
Heb. No'Amon, i.e. No of Amon, meaning 
the place, or possessions, or chief seat of the 
Egyptian god Amon. It originally stood 
on both sides of the river Nile, about 
500 miles from its mouth. In the time of 
its splendour it extended on both sides as 
far as the mountains; it had xoo gates; and 
on an emergency could send into the field 
by each of these gates 20,000 fighting men 
and 200 chariots. About 8x B.C., after a 
siege of three years, it was finally destroyed 
by Ptolemy X. Extensive ruins still mark 
its site. ' It is impossible to wander among 
these scenes and behold these hoary yet 



magnificentruins without emotions of aston- 
ishment and deep solemnity. Everything 
around testifies of vastness and of utter 
desolation. — All is gloomy, awful, grand. 
— ^The walls iA all the temples are covered 
with hieroglyphics. Many of these afibrd

name occurs in 3 Ch. 36. 30, 22; Ezr. 4.5,7,24;

tinued chain of deserts extends; and in the 
southern provinces the plains, as well as 
the mountains, are sterile and bare. The 
northern districts, on the contrary, are re- 
markable for their beauty and fertility. 
The rivers of Persia are few and small; 
and, instead of falling into the sea, most 
of them flow into lakes in the interior. The 
established religion is the Mohammedan; 
but there are still some who adhere to the 
ancient worship of j'^nr;— Es. x. 3, 24, 18;

Publicans, tax-gatherers or officers who 
farmed the taxes and public revenues 
exacted by the Romans from the Jews. 
The Roman senate farmed the taxes to 
persons who undertook to pay a certain 
sum into the treasury {publicum, hence 
Pidflicani). Such contracts were generally 
in the hands of the richest class among the 
Romans, who employed agents who were 
the actual gatherers of the taxes. These 
agents were called portitores by the Ro- 
mans, and it is to them that the name 
publicans [telonat) is exclusively given in 
the New Testament. Zaccheus is supposed 
to have belonged to the first of these classes, 
and Matthew to the second. As a rule 
they were so oppressive in their exactions, 
and wicked in their practice, that they 
were abhorred by the Jews as the very 
refuse of mankind. Mat. 9. xx; X8.17; Mar.

Bed Sea, an arm of the Indilan Ojxan, 
which stretches along the west side of 
Arabia, and the ea^ of Ethiopia aiid 
Egypt. Its Jength is aboiit z^oo miles, and 
its average breadth about Z50. Us western 
arm, the Gulf of Suez, is about zgo miles 
long, and its eastern, the Gulf of Akaba, 
about ZZ3 miles. It is frequently sin^ply 
designated 'the sea,' Ex.z4.2,9,2;; Jos.24. 
6,7, &c. In Is. zz. Z5 i( is called 'the 
Egyptian Sea.' Its name in Hebrew is 
'the Sea of SH^h,^ Ex. xo. Z9: Z3. z8; Z5. 4, 
23, &c. This Hebrew name {SH^) is 
supposed to mean 'weedy,' hence 'the 
weedy «e».' 'The appellation 'Red Sea' 
as applied distinctively to the two Gulfs of 
Suez and Akaba is comparatively modem. 
It seems to have been applied to them 
only as continuations of the Indian Ocean. 
This makes it probable , that the term 
' Red ' was derived from the corals of the 
Indian Ocean.' Passage of the Israelites 
over the western arm, Ex.xiv. xv., referred 
to, De.iz.4; Ju.zx.x6: Ne.9.9-zi; Ps.66.6;

Year. Among the Hebrews the year 
consisted ordinarily of twelve, and occa- 
sionally of thirteen synodical months, al- 
ternately of twenty-nine and thirty days 
each, so that two months included two 
moons, and the one of these years 354 days, 
and. the other no less than 383 days. As 
the former of these falls eleven days short 
of the true or solar year, they were com- 
pelled, in order to keep their festivals at 
the proper season, to add a whole month 
to the year as often as it was needful, com- 
monly once in three, and sometimes once 
in two years. This intercalary month was 
added at the end of the year, afler the 
month Adar, and was therefore called 
Veadar, or a second Adar. The year 
was also distinguished into the civil, and 
the sacred or ecclesiastical year. The 



civil year commenced on the fifteenth of 
our September, because it was an old tra- 
dition that the world was created at that 
season; and by it they computed their 
jubilees, and dated all contracts, the birth 
of children, and the reign of kings. The 
months of this year, consisting alternately 
of twenty-nine and thirty days, are ex- 
hibited in the following table, with the 
corresponding months of our year : —

• Tb« life of Job is placed before the life of Abnhem, on the authority of Dr. Hales. Job hlmsi-ir, or one of his 
contemporaries, is generally supposed to hare been the author of this 1>ooic, which Koses obtained when in Ifidlan, 
and, with some alterations, addressed to the Israelites.— [For Dr. Hales' arguments, see his " Analysis."] 

But my chief reason lor assigning to the life of Job its present date is derived tnm % consideration of the manner 
in which God has condescended to deal with mankind. 

Idolatry, as we read in the preceding part of this period, had occasioned the diiperslon from lUbeL It was gra- 
dually encroaching still Aarther on every bmily which had not yet lost the knowledge of the true 0>mL Whoever has 
studied the conduct of Providence, will have observed that God has never left himself without witnesses in the world 
to the truth of his religion. To the old world Noah was a preacher and a witness ; to the latter times of patrlarchism, 
Abraham and his descendants t to the agoi of the Levitical Law, Hosee. David, and the prophete ; and to the flrst 
ages of Christianity, the apo«ilcs and the martyrs were severally witnesses of the truth of God. Bat we have no 
account whatever, unless Job be the man. that any feithftil confessor of the one true Ckid aroee between the disperilon 
from Uabel and the eaU of Abraham. If it be uid that the femily of Shem was the visible ohureh of that age, it n.ay 
be answered, that it is doubtful whether even this family were not idolaters ; for Joshua tells the IsoMlites (Joe. xsiv 
S) tliat the anoeston of Abraham were worshipped of lq9ages.r-TiUVN*K.\9k

St JoLn writes his First Epistle to confute tlie Errors 
o( t}ie false Teachers, and their different Sects — 
against the Ilocetee, who denied the Humanity of 
Christ, assertingfthat his Body and Sufferings were 
notreaifbut imaginary — against theCerinthians and 
Ebionites, who contended that he was a mere Man, 
and that his DiviniU was only adventitious, and 
therefore separated from him at his Passion — and 
against the Nicolaitanes or Gnostics, who taught 
that tlie Knowledge of God and Christ was sufficient 
for Salvation; that being justified by FaiUi, and 
freed from the Restraints of the Law, they might 
indulge in Sin with impunibr; — He cautions Chris- 
tians from being seduced bv these Doctrines and 
Practices, by condemning tnem in the strongest 
Terms — ^ho contrasts them with the Truths and 
Boetrines of the Gospel, in which they had been 
instructed, and in wluch they are exhorted to con- 
tinue, .«.-..... 

St. John writes his Second Epistle to cautiun a Chris-S 
tian Mother and her Children afl;ainst the Seduc- ( 
tions and pernicious Errors of the false Teachers, r

St John writes his Third Epistle to Gains, to praise' 
him for his stedfast faith and kindness to some 
Christian BreUiren and strangers, and to recom- 
mend them again to his protection and benevolence 
—to rebuke and to caution him against the pre- 
sumptuous arrogance of Biotrephes, who had denial 
his authority, and disobeyed his injunctions, and to 
recommend Demetrius to his attention, and the imi- 
tation of the diurch, * ' 

St John sanctions the Books of the New Testament, 
and completes the Canon of Scripture, by writing 
his Gospel, at the request of the Church of Ephesus!).

THE STORY OF THE SCOTTISH CHURCH,

LL.D.I author of The Annah of English Presbytery, &c. &c. Crown 8vo, cloth 
extra, price 59. 6d, 

** Tbia is not a series of recondite desoriptions of dogma or church forms, hut rather a 
record of brave deeds, for Dr. M'Crie speaks simple truth when he says: *'No church in 
Christendom aflTords so many incidents of stirring interest, or furnishes to readers of tbfr 
pxesent day so many lessons of paramount importance."— ^ritie^i Quaritrly Revim. 

*' The narrative flows so pleasantly, and is so little encumbered with dry details, that th» 
reader is irresistibly rivetted to it, as if it were a veritable work of fiction, instead of being 
what it is — a record of the polemical contendings, always bitter and often bloody, of a peop1& 
striving to free themselves from the trammels alike of Popery and of Prelacy." — PeopU'9 
J$wmal, Ihmdee. 

** Dr. M'Crie has evidently written from the love of the subject, and he tells his story with 
a degree of heartiness that invests it with additional attractions, stirring as it is even whea 
set forth in the baldest and most conventicmal style." — Rock. 

* A popular narrative, written with such vividness, and frdl of so many personal anecdotes- 
and iSEbCts, that it should be read by every fsimily in the land." — Daily Review. 

** The most interesting as it is likely to be the most popular history of the Scottish Church."' 
— Stirling Observer,

LiHLE Books by John Bunyan. 

In this series of "Little Books" Banyan's writings are reproduced with 
accuracy, the text having been carefully corrected by the author's own 
editions and notes supplied by George Offor. 8 vols. Z2mOf cloth 
extra, in neat case, 15s, 

The Volumes, separately, U, 6d, each, 
I COME AND WELCOME TO JESUS CHRIST. 

This treatise exhibits tenderly and vigorouBly the grace of the Saviour, and ex- 
poetulatee with the reluctance, the fears, and doubts of the- trembling penitent. 

THE GREATNESS OF THE SOUL. 

In this treatise Bunyan sets forth the inoonceivablenetia of the. value of the 
human soul, and the unspeakableness of the loss thereof. He makes known the 
causes of losing it, and the only way in which its salvation can be found. 

THE WATER OF LIFE. 

A discourse showii^ the richness and glory of the grace and spirit of the gospel, 
as set forth in Scripture by this term, ** The water of life." 

THE PHARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN. 

This important treatise unveils, in few but telling words, the nature of prayer, 
^bout which mankind has made most awfUl mistakes. 

CHRIST A COMPLETE SAVIOUR. 

This little work is limited to a subject too often lost sight of because it is within 
ihe veil — ^the intercession of Christ as the finishing work of a sixmer's salvation. 

4 H THE STRAIT GATE. 

Here we have a most searching and faithful display of the straitness or exact 
dimensions of that all-important gate, which will not suffer many professors to pass 
into the kingdom of heaven, encumbered as they are with £si,tal errors. 

GRACE ABOUNDING TO THE CHIEF OF SINNERS. 

Bunyan's autobiography, or, as he touchingly calls it, "a brief and &ithful rela- 
tion of the exceeding mercy of God in Christ to his poor servant John Bunyan." 

JUSTIFICATION BY AN IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

Showing that the sinner's only hope is by the imputation of Christ's righteousness, 
which alone can justiQr him from tdl things, and without which he must perish. 

THE JERUSALEM SINNER SAVED. 

The object of the author in this treatise ia to display the riches of divine graoe 
.and mercy to the greatest of sinners. 

RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. 

In this earnest and searching treatise, the truth of the resunvctian of the bodies 
both of good and bad at the last day, is asserted and proved by God's word. 

THE BARREN FIG-TREE. 

The doom and downfall of the fruitless professor; showing that the day of grace 
may be passed with him long before his life is ended. 

THE ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE. 

In this discourse Banyan describes what he experienced in himself, the nature, 
excellency, and comfort of a truly broken and contrite heart. 

THE DESIRE OF THE RIGHTEOUS GRANTED. 

The desires of the righteous are here very graphically impersonated and dssoribed. 
They stretch beyond time and into eternity
