PREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITION. In presenting this important work to the American public, the present pub- lishers would call attention to some of its peculiar features. At first view, it might not seem to differ greatly from certain other works designed to aid in the study of the Bible. On comparing it with such, however, it will be found to possess an essentially original and distinctive character. It differs especially, in some important particulars, from two classes of works to which it bears a general resemblance, — the common Con- cordance and the Scripture Manual or Topical Text-book. The design of the common Concordg^nce*^ is to assist the student in find- ing some passage of Scripture by means of a leading word ; and that is its whole design. The design of this work, on the other hand, is to present, not a concordance of words, but a concordance of subjects. All those passages of Scripture which relate to one subject are brought together under one general head, and then distributed under many subordinate heads. It is apparent from this statement, that while the Analytical Concordance essentially differs from, it in -nowise supersedes, the common Concordance ; each ministers to a distinct and independent purpose, but both are equally necessary to the Biblical student. Again : this Concordance differs from the common Manual or Topical Text-book ; and it differs in two important respects. First, the latter class of works are confined to theological or doctrinal topics ; the Analytical Con- cordance, on the contrary, embraces all the topics which ai'e naturally sug- gested by the entire contents of the Bible. Second, the Topical Text-book contains only a part of the Bible ; this contains the whole. Thus, in all respects, the Analytical Concordance is more comprehensive and complete than the class of works with which it is here compared. It is, in short, nothing less than the whole Bible distributed under appro- priate heads. VII The purchaser, therefore, gets not only a Concordance but also a Bible in this volume. The superior convenience arising out of this fact — saving, as it does, the necessity of having two books at hand and of making two refer- ence.-!, instead of one — will be readily apparent. Another feature of the work that deserves special notice is the Synopsis. This presents to view, in a brief compass and in the author's own words, what in the Concordance is spread over many pages and is expressed in the language of Scripture. It will be found of no small value in giving unity and clearness to the conceptions of the student. In addition to the Synopsis, there is also an Index embracing nearly two thousand leading words arranged in alphabetical order. That such a w^ork as this is of exceeding great convenience is matter of obvious remark. But it is much more than that ; it is also an instructive work. It is adapted not only to assist the student in prosecuting the investi- gation of preconceived ideas, but also to impart ideas which the most careful reading of the Bible in its ordinary arrangement might not suggest. Let him take up any one of the subjects — Agriculture, for example — and see if such be not the case. This feature places the work in a higher grade than that of the common Concordance. It shows it to be, so to speak, a work of more mind. There is but one other work in our language prepared on the same general plan as this, and of that the author has sufficiently spoken in his preface. It need only be remarked, that while from what is there said this work appears to be every way superior to that, it is offered to the public at much less cost. All classes and conditions of people will find this Concordance specially adapted to their necessities. It is equally adapted to assist — Clergymen and Theological Students ; Sabbath school Superintendents, Teachers, and Bible Classes ; Authors engaged in the composition of rehgious, and even secular works ; and, in fine. Common readers of the Bible, who have no other end in view than their own personal improvement. Boston, January, 1857. VIII AUTHOR'S PREFACE. Tins is the tliird of a Series of Biblical Wor^s designed for popular study, specially for the use of Sabbath School Teachers, and generally for domestic reading and instruction. Occupying, as I do, a double position in the Church, — that of a Pastor, and that of a Teacher of Theology, — I have humbly endeavored to suit my literary labors to this twofold function. As a Professor in a Theological Seminary, I have given to the world some treatises of an Academic character; but, as a Minister, I have greatly rejoiced in the opportunity of publishing other Works of less pretension, but of far wider circulation, adapted in some measure to our homes and schools.^ This Volume at once explains its own nature. It is an attempt so to classify Scripture under separate heads as to exhaust its Contents. The reader will find under the respective Articles or Sections what the Bible says on the separate subjects in relation to Doctrine, Ethics, and Antiquities. Xow, the constraction of such a work is somewhat difficult. There are verses which possess no distinctive character, and it is hard to select a place for them, for one Compiler might put them in one Section, and his successor might change them to another. Many verses contain two antagonistic statements, truth and error in contrast, or truth delivered in a negative and positive form; and, therefore, no matter where such a verse is quoted, one half of it does not and cannot belong to the Chapter under wliich it is found. To divide such verses is often impossible, for there would be left an imperfect statement, the necessary verb or full syntax being in the other portion. Then interpretation is so far involved, that it depends upon 1 Biblical Cyclopasdia, &c. Fifth Edition or Tenth Thousand. — Xew and Complete Concordance of the Holy Scriptures, &c. Sixteenth Edition. [American Edition of the same, published by Gould and Lincoln. Seventeenth Thousand.] IX the sense assigned to a verse whether it shall be ranged or not among the proofs of a doctrine or theological tenet, and there is often room for difference of opinion. Besides, in spite of every attention, one will find that some important verse may- have been omitted or misplaced. Another difficulty is to determine how many Heads shall be employed, so as to classify and place under them the entire Scrip- ture. Such works as those of Gaston, Warden, and Clarke, only take up special subjects, and therefore do not necessitate such a calculation. But if you mean to comprehend the Bible, you must contrive that under a definite number of Headings its various verses shall be apportioned. If these be too few, then there must be straining and manoeuvre ; if too many, the reader's attention is distracted, and one great purpose of the Book is lost. Thus Talbot (and West after him) has a Cliap- ter called " Metaphysics," a name unbiblical both in spirit and form, and under it he classes subjects so different as Angels and Devils, Heaven and Hell. Talbot has another Chapter, named " Conflicts," a very vague title, comprising some paragraphs for which an appropriate place could not elsewhere be very readily found, and West, of course, simply reprints it. Indeed, in all Works of this nature, there must be not a little that is matter of taste, rather than of precision in the arrangement Our Work is based on that of Talbot,^ and we honestly award him the credit of the original production. But it is not a New Edition of Talbot, such as that which West has recently given in his own name. What we mean is, that Talbot's Collec- tion suggested the idea, and has guided us both in Sections and Verses ; so that if he has selected the right verses in any place, we take them. Indeed, from the nature of the Work, this imitation or similarity cannot be avoided. If the original Compiler gives every verse on a subject, a subsequent Editor, if he do not take the same verses, will be either defective or erroneous in his citations. Still, in almost e\cry Section, we have been obliged to add, or subtract, or change. Talbot has thirty general Headings, we have forty-two. Yet we do not claim the merit of a wholly new production ; for, certainly, had we not been preceded by Talbot, we sliould 1 An Analysis of the Holy Bible, containing the whole of the Old and New Testaments, collected and arranged systematically, in Thirty Books, by Matthew Talbot, 4to., Leedtr, 1800. Triuted by and for Edward Baiues (Son-in-law of the Author). X L AUTHOR S PREFACE. never have entered upon the Work at all. We say Talbot, and not West ; for West is but a reprint of Talbot, with an imperfect Index, and a few slight variations, by no means so numerous as those found in many a Second Edition of a Book. Dr. West says that his Work is based on that of " the learned Talbot." The lan- guage is fitted to mislead, for his Octavo is simply Talbot's Quarto, with a somewliat different arrangement of " Books." The epithet of " the learned Talbot " seems to suggest that Talbot belonged to one of the Professions, as they are called. Now, Matthew Talbot was a worthy layman of Leeds, a currier by trade, a good man, of high independence, and of patient and indomitable energy. His " Analysis " was the result of the quiet and persistent study of many years, and certainly verifies one of his own quaint and common sayings : " I can honor any Draft drawn on the Bank of Patience." Mr. Talbot's daughter was married to Baines, the eminent printer. The old man's generosity and patriotism, his learning and talents, his hearty love of the truth, and adherence to it at all hazards, yet survive among his grandchildren, and one of them, the Eight Honorable Matthew Talbot Baines, raised by personal merit to his high position, is, at this moment, a Member of her Majesty's Cabinet. It is, there- fore, with regret, that we find his Book, with but a very slight disguise, published in America as West's, and it is with indignation that we see it openly plagiarized and reprinted without even his name at all, and that so recently as in London, 1848. This last and unblushing appropriator of Talbot has adopted the meaningless title of the " Analogy of the Old and New Testaments Systematically Classified." ^ What is worse, he is so audacious as to say in his Preface : " This Work has been for many years a labor of love to the Author." Surely, if such a plagiarism of a common Author is usually branded as dishonesty, then, coupled with such a state- ment, and in reference to the Word of Truth itself, one is apt to call it by the harder name of profanity. The Work, then, is simply Scripture printed under classified heads. Thus, to take the first Article, " Agriculture," the reader will ascertain under it what is said in Scripture as to the Land and Farms of Canaan, the processes of Husbandry, 1 An Analogy of the Old and New Testaments, Systematically Classified.

XI author's preface. such as Ploughing, SSwing, and Reaping, &c., and the allusions to them contained in the Prophets and in the Parables of our Lord, with much more of similar import. Talbot and West only use a verse once, and therefore some of their Sections are brief and scanty ; on the other hand, we have repeated many verses twice, thrice, and oftener, our only limit being the fear of too large a Volume. Great care has been taken to secure accuracy of reference, and every verse has been turned up, and verified by young eyes and fingers in the retirement of a rural Manse. The technical labor of preparing copy has been performed by one whose relationship to the Editor gave her a filial interest in the daily and protracted task. The Work is enriched with a very full Index, prepared with characteristic accuracy by a friend whose labors in a similar field we have elsewhere acknowledged. Another peculiar advantage will be found in the prefixed Synopsis, which is so constructed that it may be read continuously, and it will be found to exhibit a bird's eye view of BibHcal Antiquities and Theology. By the employment of Synopsis and Index, every subject of Scripture may be easily turned up, and full informationspeedily obtained. In fine, while our Book will save time and trouble to the inquirer, yet we counsel the con- tinuous consultation of the Scriptures themselves, and of the verses in their original connection. For there is a living unity in the Bible amidst all its diversity, and it is with it as with the minerals of the globe, which present a more glorious order in the respective positions in which nature has placed them, than when artificially arranged on the shelves of a cabinet With all the imperfections of this volume, and they belong more or less to every compilation of the kind, we hope that it may be found to be really useful, that the Divine blessing may accompany it, and that it may meet with that cordial and extended welcome which has been, and still is, so kindly vouchsafed to its two predecessors. The Dash so often introduced, is designed to point out some differences in the Verses following it, such as Allusions and Examples, or Instances and Statements, adduced as contrasts to the Verses of the Topic or Section printed above it.

ANALYTICAL CONCORDANCE HOLY SCRIPTURES, AGRICULTURE. DISTRIBUTION" OP LAND. Num. xxvl, 52-56. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Unto these the land shall be di- vided for an inheritance accord- ing to the number of names. To many thou shalt give the more hiheritauce, and to few thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be given according to those that were numbered of him. Notwithstand- mg the land shall be divided by lot; according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. According to the lot shall the possession tliereof be divided between many and few. Num. xxxiii, 53, 54. And ye ehall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to pos- sess it. And ye shall divide the land by lot for aa inheritance among your families : and to the more ye siiall give the more in- heritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance : every man's inheritance, shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit. Joshua xiv, 1-5. And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distri- buted for inheritance to them. By lot was their inheritance, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe. For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan : but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them. For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their BUhurbs for their cattle and for their substance. As the Lord commanded Moses, so the chil- dren ot Israel did, and they divided the land. Joshua xviii, 10, And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord: and there Joshua di- vided the land unto the children of Israel according to theh: divi- sions. Josh. xix. 51. These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the con- gregation. So they made an end of dividing the country. TENURE, Lev. XXV, 13-17. In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession. And if thou sell ought unto thy neigh- bour, or buyest ought of thy neigh- bour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another; According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee: According to the mul- titude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for ac- cording to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee. Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou Shalt fear thy God: for I am the Lord your God. Lev. XXV, 23-28. The land shall not be sold for ever : for the land is mine ; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall 1 he redeem that which his brother sold. And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it; Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession. But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall re- main in the hand of him that hath bought it until the'year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his pos- session. Examples. Ruth iv, 3, 4. And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which icas our brother Elimelech's: And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. Ruth W, 6-9,11. And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for my- self, lest I mar mine own inheri- tance : redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning chang- ing, for to confirm all things; a man pluclced off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this teas a testimony in Israel. There- fore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Yo are witnesscis this day, that I have bought all that teas Elimelech's, and all that vxis Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. And all the people that tvere in the gate, and the elders, said. We are witnesses. 1 Kings xxi,3. And Nabothsaid to Ahab, The Lord forbid it me.

And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went fortli to cry unto the king for her house and for her lanJ And the king: tallied with Geliazi the servant of the man of God, saying. Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done. And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for lier house and for her land. And Gchazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this 2S her son, whom Ehsha restored to life. And Avhen the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Ke- Btore all that teas her's, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now. Lam. V, 2. Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aUens. TRANSFER OF LAND. IN EARLY TIMES. Gen. xxiii, 7-9. And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Ileth. And he com- muned with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar, That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a pos- session of a burying-place amongst you. Gen. xxiii, 13-16. And he spake unto Ephron In the audience of the people of the land, saying, I'.ut if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there. And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him. My lord, hear- ken unto me: the land is v:orth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead. And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of tlie sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, cur- rent money with the merchant. Gen. xxxiii, 18, 19. And Jacob came to Shalem a city of Shecheni, which is In the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and pitched his tent before the city. And he bought a parcel of u field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hajnor, Shochem's father, for an hundred pieces of money. Jos J), xxiv, 32. And the bones of Josei)h, which the children of Is- rael brought up out of Egypt, biuied they in Shechem, in a par- cel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Ilamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the in- heritance of the children of Jo- seph. John iv, 5. Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the -parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. UNDER JEWISH LAW. 2 Sam. xxiv,21-5i4. And Araunah said. Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing- floor of thee, to build an altar unto the Lord, that the plague may be stayed from the people. And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and olfer up what seemeth good unto him: be- hold, here be oxen for burnt sacri- fice, and threshing Instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood. All these things did Araunah, as a king, gl-se unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The Lord thy God ac- cept thee. And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy i^ of thee at a price: neither will I ofier burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of sil- ver. Jer.xxxii,6-9. And Jeremiah said. The word of the Lord came unto me, saying. Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth : for the right of redemption is thine to buy it. So Ilunameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the riglit of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. And I bouglit the field of Hana- meel my uncle's son, that teas in Anathotli, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver. Jer. xxxii, 43, And fields shall bo bought in this land, whereof ye say. It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. Frov. xxxl, 16. She consldereth a field, and buyeth It: with the 2 fruit of her hands rtie planteth a vineyard. Acts V, 1, 2. But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphirahis wite, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. ANHTENT CHARTERS. G^eri. xxiii, 17, 18. And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, wliich was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which icas therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that v:ere in all the borders round about, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city. Jer. xxxii, 10-15. And I sub- scribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances. So I took the evidence of the pur- chase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open : And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah,the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and In the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison. And I charged Baruch before them, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be pos- sessed again in this land. Jer. xxxii, 44. Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about JcrusiUem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of tlie mountains, and in the cities of the volley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the Lord. SOIL OP CANAAN, Num. xiv, 6-8. And ■ oshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying. The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring Hs info this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. AGRICULTURE. Deut. 1, 22-25. And ye came near niito me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word ag'ain by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come. And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe: And they turned and went np into the mountain, and came anto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out. And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto as, and brought us word again, and said. It is a good land which the Lord our God doth give us. Deut. viii, 7-10. For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of Avater, of fountains and' depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and flg trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey ; A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou Shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. Deiit. xi. 10-12. For the land^ whither thou goest in to pos- sess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowetM thy seed, and water- edst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven: A land which the Lord thy God careth for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the be- ginning of the year even unto the end of the year. AGRARIAN ENACTMENTS Exod. xxii. 5, 6. If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vine- yard, shall he make restitution. If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed thereiolth; he that kindled the Are shall surely make restitution. Detit. xix, 14 Tbou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the Lord thy God giveth thee to pos- sess it.

As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man phall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that oflend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

With arrows and with bows shall vien come thither, because all the land shall become briers and thoi-ns.

Isa. XV, 6, 7. For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

Amos viii, 11-14. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Loed: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy God, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beershcba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again. Joel i, 10, 11. The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth. Be ye asham- ed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished. Joel i, 17. The seed is rotten under their clods, the garnci's are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered. Micah vi, 15.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. PRESSUEE OF FAMINE. Lev. xxvi, 26-29. And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; Then I will walk contrary rmto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. And ye shall eat the flesh of y(nir scms, anrneps. The tongue of the sucking child cloaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, a7id no 10 man hreaketh it unto them. They that did feed delicately are deso- late in the streets: they that were brought up In scarlet embrace dunghills. iMm. iv, 7-10. Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing teas of sapphire: Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick. The?/ that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for tcaiit of the fruits of the field. The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own childi-en: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people. Lam. V, 10. Our skin was black lil; ^ an oven because of the ter- rible famine. LzeJc. iv, 16, 17. Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I Avill break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measui'e, and with astonishment: That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity. Ezek. xii, 18, 19. Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling autl with carefulness; And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord God of the inhabi- tants of Jerusalem, and of the laud of Israel; They shall eat their bread Avith carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein. Joel i, 8, 9. Lament like a vir- gin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth. The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the Lord? the priests, the Lord's min- isters, mourn. Joel i, 13-16, 19, 20. Come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of iny God: for the meat offering and the drink oflcriiig is with- liolden from the house of your God. Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assen^bly, gather the el- ders atid all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord, Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Al- mighty shall It come. Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God? O Lord, to thee AGRICULTURE will I cry: for the Are hath de- voured the pastures of the wil- derness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field. The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters eve dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wil- Amos iv, 6. And I also have viven you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LOED. INSTANCES OF FAMINE. IN THE DAYS OF ABRAHAM Gen. xii, 10. And there was a famine in the land: and Abrara went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land. OP ISAAC. Gen. xxvi, 1. And there was a fomine in the Uind, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philis- tines unto Gerar. OF JOSEPH. Gen. xli, 28-32. This is thething which I have spoken unto Pha- raoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh. Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land; And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous. And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharoah twice; it is because the thing is estab- lished by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. Gen. xli, 53-56. And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended. And the seven years of death be- gan to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egj-pt there was bread. And wlien all the land of Egypt wa<5 famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do. And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Josepli opened all tlie storehouses, and sold unto the Egvptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt. Gen. xlvii, 13-20. And there ims no bread in all the land; for the lamine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine. And Joseph gathered up all the m(mey that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house. And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said. Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money fail- cth. And Joseph said. Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year. When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands: Where- fore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate. And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every mam his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's. Acts vii, 11. NoAV there came a dearth over all the land of I'^gypt and Clianaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no susten- OF THE JUDGES. liuth 1, 1.

And Elijah the Tishbite, w7i.o teas of the inhabi- tants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. H OP ELISHA. 2 Kings iv, 38. And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the pro- phets. DURING SIEGE OP SAMARIA. 2 Kings vi, 25. And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, be- hold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab ot dove's dung for five pieces of silver. OF SEVEN YEARS, FORE- TOLD BY ELISHA. 2 Kings viii, 1. Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying. Arise, and go thou and thine house- hold, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the Lord hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years. Jer. xiv, 1.

We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. IN THE REIGN OF CLAU- DIUS C^SAR. Acts xi, 28. And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which oame to pass in the days of Claudius Cajsar. GOD'S CARE OF HIS PEO- PLE DURING FAMINE. 1 Kings xvii, 2-7. And the word of the Lord came unto him, say- ing. Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jor- dan. And it shall be, that thou , Shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is be- fore Jordan. And the ravens brought Mm bread and flesh uj AGRICULTURE. the morning", and bread and flesh in the evening and he drank of the brook. And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. Job V, 20. In famine he shall re- deem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.

And I Avill multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. Joel ii, 19. Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen. MEANS AGAINST FAMINE. Gen. xli, 34-37. Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. And that food shall bo for store to the land against the seven years of famine, wliich shall be in tlie land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine. And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. Gen.yXx 48, 49, 57. And he gather ed up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in tho cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.

But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest perad venture mischief befall him. And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan. Gen. xliii, 1-5. And the famine was sore in the land. And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said un- to them. Go again, buy us a little food.

If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food: But if thou wilt not send ?U7n, we will not go down: for the man said un- to us. Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. Gen. xliv, 25, 26. And our father said. Go again and buy us a little food. And we said. We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us. Prov. xi, 26.

Gen. \, 20-25 And God §a^d, Let the waters bring forth abund- antly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open fir- mament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after thciir kind, and every ^vinged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they re- joice and are glad. Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; be- cause by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous. Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations? 3Iatth. iv, 18-20. And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straight- way left their nets and followed him, Mattn. xiii, 47-50. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cacst into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just. And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnash- ing of teeth. Matth.XYW, 27. Notwithstanding, loit we should olfend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, au'l take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. Mark \, 16-20. Now as he walk- ed by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And Jesus said un- to them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him. And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw Jame.s the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, v/ho also were in the ship mending their nets. And straight- way he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him. lAike V, 2-11, And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. And he entered into one of the ships, wViich Avas Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the peo- ple out of the ship. Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering said unto hiin, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing; nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they in- closed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, say- ing, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. For he was astonished, and all that were with Jiim, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners Avith Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt (^atch men. And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him./ John xxi, 3, 6, 8. Simon Peter saith unto them I go a fishing. They say unto him. We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they, caught noth- ing. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the sliip, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multi- 23 tude of fishes. And the other dis- ciples came in*a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes. Used as Food. Num.T^x, 5. We remember the fish which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick. Luke xxiv, 42. And they gave him apiece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb, John xxi, 9, 10, 12, 13. As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread, Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have noAV caught. Jesus saith unto them, Conie and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him. Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then coiiKith, and tak(!th Ijread, and giveth them, and flsh likewise. FTSIIGATE. 2 Chr. xxxiii, 14. Now after this he built a Avail Avithont the city of David, on the Avest side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compai^sed about Ophcl, and raised it up a very great height, and put cap- tains of Avar in all the fenced cities of Judah. Neh. iii, 3. But the fish gate did the sons of Ilnssenaah build, Avho also laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. Neh. xii, 39. And from above the gate of Ephraim, and aboA'e the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the toAvin- of llananeel, and the toAver of Mcah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate. Zeph. i, 10. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Loed, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.

And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it / ANIMALS. tinto the LoBD thy God, Thon Shalt eat it Avithin thy gates: the andean and the clean person slicdl eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.

But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. Lev. vii, 26, 27. Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, v:hether it he of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. What- soever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. Lev. xvii, 10, 13. And whatso- ever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among jovl, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against tliat soul that eateth blood, and will cut him ofi from among his people. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the stran- gers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beasi or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. Dcut. xii, 16, 24, 25. Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water. Thou Shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water. Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou s'halt do tJiat ivhich is right in the siglit of the Lord. 1 Sam. xiv, 32-34. And the peo- ple Hew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood. Then they told Saul, say- ing, Behold, the people sin against tlie Lord, in that they eat with the blood. And he said. Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day. And Saul said. Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them. Bring mo hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there. Ezelc. xxxiii. 25. Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes tov/ards your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land? Reason. Lev. xvii, 11, 12. 14. For the life of tlie flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Therefore I said unto the cliildren of Israel, No soul of you sliall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that so.iourneth among vou eat blood. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: Avhosoever eateth it shall be cut off. Deut. xii, 23. Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. FAT FORBIDDEN. Lev. iii, 16, 17. . . . All the fat is the Lord's. It shall be a perpetual statute for your gener- ations tliroughout all your dwell- ings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood. Lev.yW, 23-25. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying. Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat. And the fat of tlie beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it. For whosoeA'er eateth the fat of the beast, of which men olfer an oU'ering made by fire unto the Loud, even the soul that eat- eth it shall be cut off from his people. ANIMALS UNCLEAN. WHICH HAD BEEN KILLED BY BEASTS OF PREY, OR THAT DIED A NATURAL DEATH. Exod. xxii, 31. And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in tlie field; ye shall cast it to the dogs. Lev. xi, 39, 40. And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that 32 tOTicheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until tHe even. And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash Ids clothes, and be un- clean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. Lev. xvii, 15, 16. And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn tvith beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in Avater, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean. But if he wash them not, nor bathe liis flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity. Lev. xxii, 8, 9. That Avhich dieth of itself, or is torn toith beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself thereAvith: I am the Lord. They shall therefore keep mine ordin- ance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the Lord do sanctify them. L)e7it. xiv, 21. Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy peo- ple unto the Lord thy God. Thou Shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. Ezek. iv, 14.

Not that AA'hich goeth into the mouth deflleth a man; but that Avhlch comcth out of the mouth, this deflleth a man. 3fark vii, 15. There is nothing from Avithout a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the tilings Avhich come out of him, those are they that defile tho man. Acts XV, 28, 29. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater l)urden than these necessary things; That ye abstain irom meats oflered to idols, and from blood, and from tilings strangled, and from fornication: from Avhich If ye keep yourselves, ye shall do Avcll. Fare ye Avell. Acts xxi, 25. As touching the Gentiles Avhich believe, Ave have written a7ff c*ncln'1ed that tl\ey observe no such thiiijr. save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and irom blood, and from strang-led, and from fornication. Eom.. xiv. 14-23. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesns, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to he unclean, to him it is unclean. But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. De- stroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. Let not then your good be evil spoken of; For the kingdom of G(k1 is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things serv- eth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. For meat destroy not the worlc of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth wit^ offence. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is otfended, or is made weak. Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that con- demneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he enfcth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. 1 Qor. viii, 8-13. But meat com- mendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's be- come a stumblingblock to them that are weak. For if any man gee thee which hast knowledge Bit at meal in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; And through thy know- ledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. 1 Qor. X, 25-33. Whatsoever is Bold in the shambles, that eat, ask- ing no question for conscience sake: For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for consci- ence sake. But if any man say Cnto you. This is offered in sacri- ANIMALS. flee unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for con- science sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: Conscience. I say, not thine own, l)nt of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another mail's conscience? For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. (7o?. ii, 20-23. Wherefore if ye he dead with Christ from the rudi- ments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? Which things have in- deed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. 1 Tim. iv, 3-5. • • 'And com- manding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be re- ceived with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiv- ing: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. ANIMALS. CLEAN AND UNCLEAN IN THEM- SELVES. QUADRUPEDS. CLEAN. Lev. xi, 2, 3. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

And the coney, because he cheAveth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. And the hare, because he choAveth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is un- clean unto you.

And Avhatsoever goeth upon his paAvs, among all manner of beasts that go on ail four, those are unclean unto you: avIioso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even. And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be un- clean until the even: they are un- clean unto you. Deut. xiv, 7, 8. Nevertheless these ye shall not eat oi them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the harp, and the coney: for they cheAV the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you. And the SAvine, because it divideth the hoof, yet chCAveth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase. Isa. Ixv. 4. AVhich remain among the graves, and lodge in the monu- ments, Avhich eat SAvine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels. Lsa. Ixvi, 17. They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating sAvine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LoED. Jer. xvi, 18. And first I will re- compense their iniquity and their sio double; because they haA^e de- filed my land, they have filled mine inheritance Avith the car- cases of their detestably and, abominable things. FISHES. CLEAN. Lev. xl, 9. These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: Avhatso- ever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. Deut. xiv, 9.

And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl. And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

Uncleak. Le?7.x!, 23-25. 29-38, 41-45. But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, slmli be an abomin- ation unto you. And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever touch- eth the carcase cf them shall be unclean until the even.

These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping tilings that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall bo unclean until the even. And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, what- soever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean un- til the even; so it shall be cleansed.

And every tiling whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; lohether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and slrall be unclean unto you. Nevertheless a fountain or pit, lohereln there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that whicli touclieth their carcase shall be unclean. An^ii any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. But if ariy water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creep- ing things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination. Ye shall not make yourselves abom- inable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that yo should be defiled thereby. For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and yo shall be holy; for I am holy: rieithcr shall ye de- file yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth 84 Tipon the earth. Fpr J am the LoKD that 1 r'ngeth you up out of the land of E^^ypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. THE HERD. CALF. KILLED AS A LUXURT. Gen. xviii, 7.

And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear? And Saul said.

There- fore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord; As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because my flock became a prej', and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shep- herd, neither did my shepherds search for my floclv, but the shep- herds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; Therefore, O ye shep- herds, hear the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord Goo; Behold, lam against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed them- selves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth that they may not be meat lor them. For thus saith the Lord God, Be- hold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he Is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. And I will bring them out Irom the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their OAvn land, and feed them up- on the mountains of Israel by the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the will feed them with judgment. And as for you, O my floclv, thus saith the Lord God; I'.ehold, I judge between cattle and cattle, 40 between the rams and the he- goats. Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue vi your pastures? and to haA^e drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet. Therefore thus saith the Lord God unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. Because ye have thrust with side and with shoultler, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; Therefore M'ill I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my ser- vant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it. And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dAvell p ifoly in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be show- ers of blessing-. And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them-niraid. And I Avill raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. Thus shall they.know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, ore my people, saith the Lord God. And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, aiid I am your God, saith the Lord God. Amos i, 2. And he said. The Lord will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jeriisalom; and the habitations of the shep- herds shall mourn, and the top of Cannel shall wither. M/'cah V, 6.

NaJium iii, 18. Thy shepherds Blumber, O kmg of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountams, and no man gathereth them. Zech. X, 2, 3. .... Therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd. Mine anger ■was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LoHD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. £e£h. xi, 3-10, 15-17. There is a voice of the howling of the shep- herds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled. Thus saith the Lokd my God; Feed the flock of the slaugh- ter; Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the Lobd; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not. For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them. And I will feed the flock of slaughter, €ve7i you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I culled Bands; and I fed the flock. Three shepherds also I cut off" in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut ofl", let It be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another. And I took my stalf, even Beauty, and ciit it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people. And the Lord said imto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a fool- ish shepherd. For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the yoimg one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth ^still. but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. 3fatth. xviii, 12, 13. How think ye? if a man hath an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astrajl* And if so be that he find it, verily I say un- to you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not a&a-ay. 3Iatth. XXV, 32, 33. And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd di- vidcth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. John X, 7-11, 13-16, 26. Then said Jesus unto them again. Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abun- dantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, a7id one shepherd. But ye be- lieve not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. John xxi, 15, 16. So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him. Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him. Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith \mto him, Feed my sheep.

And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. And he set the rods which he had pilled before 41 the flocks In the gutters In the watering troughs w hen the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spott- ed. And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of La^ ban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not un- to Laban's cattle. And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods. But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's. And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menser- vants, and camels, and asses. Gen. xxxi, 8, 9. If he said thus.

Thou sayest, (but tliey are but vain words.) / hax-e counsel and strength for the war. Now on Avhom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me? NoAV, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on Avhicli if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him. ARMY— ARMS. 1 (piron. xlx, 6, 7. And when the children of Amnion saw tliat they had made themselves odious to David, Ilannn and the children of Amraon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen oi^t of Mesopotamia, and out of ' Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah. So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitclied be- fore Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, aud came to battle. 2 Qhron. xvi, 2-9. Then Asa brought out silver and gdd out of the treasures of the house of the Lord and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying. There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me. And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the cap- tains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store cities of Naphtali. And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left oflf building of Ramah. and let his work cease. Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Rainah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah. And at that time Han- ani the seer came to Asa king of Judah. and said unto him, Be- cause thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the Lord thy God, therefore is the liost of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand. Were not the Ethibpians and the Lu- bims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen.' yet, be- cause thou didst rely on the Lord, he delivered them into thine hand. For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done fool- ishly; therefore from henceforth thou Shalt have wars. 2 Qhron. xviii, 1, 3. Now Jeho- Bhaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab. And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he answer- ed him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will he with thee in the war. 2 Qhron. XX, 1. It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Am- mon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Je- hoshaphat to battle. 2 Chron. xxii, 5. He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians smote Joram. 2 Qhron. xxviii, 16. 20. At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him. And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not. i^.lxxxiii, 1-12,15-18. Keep not thou silence, O Gcd: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in re- membrance. For they have con- sulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom. and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Am- mon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera,. as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: Which perished at En-dor: they became as dung for the earth. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as .Zalmunna: Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name. O Lord. Let them be con- founded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: That men may know that Ihou, whoso name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. Isa. vii, 1-9. And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Sj'ria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it. And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim, And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind. Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth noAV to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy sou, at the end of the conduit of 63 the npper pool In the highway of the fuller's field; And say unto him. Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be faint-hearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah. Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying, Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for ns, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal: Thus saith the Lord God, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established. Isa. viii, 9-12. Associate your- selves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear all ye of far countries: gird your- selves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not Avalk in the way of this peo- ple, saying, Say ye not, A con- federacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Isa. liv, 15. Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather to- gether against thee shall lall for thy sake. THE LEAGUE WITH THE CUNNING GIBEONITES. Josh. Ix, 1-27. And it came to pass, when all the king.s which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the llittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof; That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and witli Israel, with one accord. And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai, They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up; And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of ARMY— ARMS. their provision was dry and mouldy. And they ■went to Joshua unto the camp at Gil£?al, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us. And the lyen of Israel said unto the Ilivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; ind hoAv shall we make a league with you? And they said unto Joshua. We are thy servants. And fjoshua said unto them, Who are yc? and from whence come ye? And they said unto him, From a very far country thy ser- vants are come because of the name of the Lord thy God: for we have heard tlie fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt, And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that %oere beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Hesh- bon, and to Og king of Baashan, wliich toas at Ashtaroth. Where- fore our elders and all the inhabi- tants of our country spake to us, saying. Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them. We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us. This our bread we took hot /or our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but noAV, be- hold, it is dry, and it is mouldy: and these bottles of wine, Avhich we filled, v:ere new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our gar- ments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey. And the men took of their victuals, and asked not coun- sel at the mouth of the Lord. And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them. And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they vjere their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them. And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearlm. And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel. And all the congregation mur- mured against the princes. But all the princes said unto all the congregation. We have sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them. This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we Bware unto thorn. And the prin- ces said unto them, Let them live; but lot them be hewers of wood ana drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them. And Joshua called for them, and he spake un- to them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us? Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God. And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the Lord thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, there- fore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing. And now, be- hold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do. And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not. And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose. BANNERS.

And the children of Israel sliall pitch their tents, . . . and every man by his own stand- ard, throughout their hosts. Num. ii, 1-34. And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch. And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch thoughout their armies: and Nahshon tlie son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah. And his host, and those that were num- bered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.

Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the peo- ple Isa. lix, 19.

When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. Isa. Ixii, 10. . . . Lift up a standard for the people. Jer. iv, 6, 21. Set up the stand- ard toward Zion: retire, stay not; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. How long shall I see the standard, a7id hear the sound of the trum- pet? Jer. I, 2. Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken Jer. li, 12, 27. Set up the stand- ard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Baby- lon. Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against hor the kingdoms of Ararat, Minnl, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her, Zech. ix, 16. And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lilted up as an ensign upon his land.

Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the pro- vinces, and they were two hun- dred and thirty -two; and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, beinff seven thousand. So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them. 1 <;Jhron. xii, 32.

Judges xl, 5-10. And It was so, that when the children of Amnion made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob: And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the childron of Ammon. And Jephthah said un- to the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress? And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against tiie children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead. And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the Lord deliver them before me, sliall I be your head? And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The Lord be witness between us.lf wedonotso according to thy words. 1 Sam. xli, 11. And the Lord sent Jernbbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe. UNDER SAUL AND DAVID. 1 Sam. viii, 12. And he will ap- point him captains over thousands, and captains over fi/ties. 1 Sam. ix, 16. To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou Shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me. . 1 Sam. xiii, 14. But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be cap- tain over his people, because thou hast not kept tliat which the Lord commanded thee. 1 Sam. xviii, 5, 12-16, 30. And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved him- self wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was ac- cepted in the sight of all the peo- ple, and also in the sight of Saul's servants. And Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord Avas with him, and was departed from Saul. Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. And David behaved himself wise- ly in all his ways; and the Lord was with him. Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him. But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them. Then the princes of the Philistines went forth, and it came to pass, affcr they went forth, that David be- haved himself more wisely than all the se^'vants of Saul; so that his name was much set by. 2 Sam. iv. 1, 2. And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead iu Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled. And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one loas Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin.) 2 Sam. V, 1,'2. Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Be- hold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and brought- est in Israel: and the Lord said to thee. Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over IsraeL UNDER DAVID. 2 Sam. V, 8. And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said. The blind and the lame shall not come into the house. 2 Sam. xvii, 25. And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host , instead of Joab: which Amasa toas j a man's son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother. 2 Sam. xviii, 1. And David num- bered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them, 2 Sam. xlx, 13. And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not cap- tain of the host before me contin- ually in the room of Joab. 2 Sam. XX, 23. Now Joab was over all the host of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites, and over the Pelethites. 2 Sam. xxili, 22, 23.

Then the baud and the captain and officers of the Jews toolv Jesus, and bound him. Acts V, 26. Tlicn Avent the cap- tain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned. Acts xxi, 31, 32, And a8 they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when thej'^ saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul. Acts xxiii, 17. Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said. Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him. Acts xxiv, 7, 22, 23. But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands. And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, ho deferred them, and said. When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your mat- ter. And he commanded a cen- turion to keep Paul, and to let Mm have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaint- ance to minister or come unto him. Acts XXV, 23. And on the mor- row, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place ot hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth. Acts xxvii, 1, 11, 43. And when It was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band. Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, moro than those things which Avero spoken by Paul. But tlie centur- ion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land. Acts xxviii, 16. And when we came to Home, the centurion de- livered the prisoners to the cap- tain of the guard: but Paul was sulfered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him. Josh. V. 14, 15. And he said. Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him. What saith my lord unto his servant? And the cap- tain of the Lord's host said unto Josliua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so. 2 Qhron. xiii, 12. And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm ag.iinst you.

But the sol- diers of the army Avhich Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil. Ezra viii, 22. For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the AVay: because we had spoken unto the king, saying. The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his poAver and his Avrath is against all them that forsake him. Jer. xxxviil, 4. Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: lor thus ho Aveakeneth the hands of the men of Avar that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the Avelfare of thia people, but the hurt.

Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been Avith me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day? And the princes of the Philistines AvereAvroth with him; and the princes of the Philis- tines said unto him, Make this felloAV return, that he may go again to his place Avhich thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down Avith us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for AvhoroAvitli should he reconcile himself unto his master? should it 72 not be with the heads of these men? 7s not this David, of Avhom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands? Then Achish called David, and said unio him, Surely, as the LoKD liveth, thou hast bern up- right, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: neverlheless the lords favour thee not. Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou dis- please not the lords of the Philis- tines. And David said unto Achish, But Avhat have I done? and Avhat hast thou found in thy ser- vant so long as I have been Avith thee unto this day, that I may not go flght against the enemies of my lord the king? And Achish ansAvered and said to David, I knoAV that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: notAvith- standing the princes of the Philis- tines have said. He shall not go up Avith us to the battle. Where- fore uJav rise up early in the morning with thy master's ser- vants that are come Avith thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, de- part.

And it came to pass, AA'hen he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his h;;nd and called that place Rameth-khi. And he was soi-e athirst, and called on the Lord, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised? But God clave an holloAv place that icas in the jaAV, and there came Avater thereout; and Avhen he had drunk, his spirit came again, and ho reAived: Avherefore he called the name thereof En- hakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.

And the sons of Ulam were Inighty men of valour 1 Qlir(m. xi, 12-14, 26. And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties. He was with David at Pas-dammim, and there the Philistines Avere gathered to- gether to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and tlie people fled from before the Philistines.

These he the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmon- ite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adina the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time. And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away: He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword:and the Lord wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil. And after him was Shanunah the son of A gee the Ilararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where Avas a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Phihstines. But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the Lord wrought a great victory. And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of AduUam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim. And David was then in an hold, and £he garrison of the Philistines toas then in Beth-lehem. And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, Avhich is by the gate! And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the Lord. And he said. Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that Avent in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he Avould not drink it. These things did these three mighty men. And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son ofZeruiah,was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew tliem, and had the name among three. Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he Avas their captain: howbeit he at- tained not unto the first three. And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kab- zeel, Avho had done many acts, he sleAV two lion-like men of Moab: he Avent doAvn also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snoAv. And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he Avent dOAvn to him Avith a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and sIcav him Avith his OAvn spear. He Avas more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard. Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem, Sliammah the Harodlte, Elika the llarodite, Ilelez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Anetholhite, Mebunnai the Hush- athite, Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite, Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai out of Gibeah of the children of Benja- min, Benaiali the Pirathonite, Iliddai of the brooks of Gaash, Abi-albon the Arbathlte, Azma- veth the Barhumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite, of the sons of Jashen, Jonathan, Shammah the Ilararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Ilararite, Ellphelet the son of Ahasbai, tlie son of the Maacha- thite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel 74 the Gilonite, Hezrai the Carmel- ite, Paarai the Arbite, Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite, Zelek the Ammonite, Nahari the Beerothite, armour- bearer to Joab the son of Zeruiah, Ira an Ithrite, Gareb an Ithrite, Uriah the Hittite: thirty and seven in all. HEROINES. Judges iv, 6-10, 14, 17, 18, 21, 22. And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh- naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel com- manded, saying, Go and draAv to- Avard mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zobulun? And I Avill draAv unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, Avith his chariots and his multitude; and I Avill de- liver him into thine hand. And Barak said unto her, If thou Avilt go Avith mo, then I Avill go: but if thou Avilt not go Avith me, then I Avill not go. And she said, I Avill surely goAVith thee: notwithstand- ing the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And De- borah arose, and went Avith Barak to Kedesh. And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he Avent up with ten thou- sand men at his feet, and Deborah Avent up Avith him. And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this zs the d ly in Avhich the Lord hath de- livered Sisera into thine hand: is not the Lord gone out before thee? So Barak went doAvn from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. HoAvbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the Avife of Heber the Kenite: for there toas peace betAveen Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. And Jael Avent out to meet Sisera, and said unto him. Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And Avhen he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him Avith a mantle. Then Jael, Heber's Avife, took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and Avent softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and Aveary. So he died. And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said xmto him, Come, and I Avill shcAv thee the man Avhom thou seekest. And Avhen he came into her te7it, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail toas in his temples. Judges v, 24. Blessed above Avomen sliall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent. ARMY— ARMS. Judges ix, 50-52.

But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all tliey of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower. And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and wont hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire. And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's, head, and all to brake his scull. Judges xi, 35, 36. And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of tliem that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the Lord, and I cannot go back. And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the Loud, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the Lord hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the chil- dren of Amnion. 2 SajH. xi, 21. Who smote Abimelech tlie son of Jerubbesh- eth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh ttie wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 1 Sam. ii, 1, And Hannah pray- ed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Loud: my mouth is enlarg- ed over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. CHALLENGES. Judges i, 12, 13. And Caleb said. He tliat smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it. to him will I give Achsah my daughter to Avife.

And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of those uncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will work for us: for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few. 1 Sam. xvii, 8-11, 16, 23-33, 38-42, 45-51. And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye ser- vants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me. If he be able to flght with | me, and to kill me, then will we I be your servants: but if I prevail I against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us. And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together. When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dis- mayed, and greatly afraid. And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented him- self forty days. And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Pliilistine of Gath, Goliatli by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them. And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid. And the men of Israel said. Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, tliat the man who kill- eth iiim, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel. And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying. What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh aAvay the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy tlie armies of the living God? And the people answered him after this manner, saying. So shall it be done to the man that killeth him. And Ellab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kimlled against David, and he said. Why caniest thou down liither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and thy naughtiness of tliine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightost see the battle. And David said, Wliat have I now done? Is there not a cause? And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner. And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him. And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy ser- vant will go and fi.ght with this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an hchnet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he a.ssayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for 75 I have not proved them. And David put them off him. And he took his staff in his hand, and choose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip: and his sling loas in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine. And the PhiUs- tine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield icent before him. And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he Avas but a, yo^xi\\, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me Avith a SAvord, and Avith a spear, and Avith a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, Avhom thou hast defied. This day Avill the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and T Avill give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the foAvls of the air, and to the Avild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may knoAV that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall knoAV that the Lord saveth not Avith SAVord and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he Avill give you into our hands. And it came to pass, Avhen the Philistine arose, and came and drcAV nigli to meet David, that David hasted, and ran to Avar d the army to meet the Philistine. And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his fore- head, that the stone sunlc into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. So David pre- vailed over the Philistine Avith a sling and Avith a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sAvord in the hand of David. Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his SAVord, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and sIoav him, and cut off" his head thercAvith. And when the Philistines saAv their champion was dead, they fled. 2 Sam. ii, 13-16. And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met to- gether by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat doAvn, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool. And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men noAV arise, and play before us. And Joab said. Let them arise. Then there arose, and went over by number tAvelve of Ben- jamin, which pertained to Ish- bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David. And they caught eA'ery one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wTierefoTe that place was called Helkatli- hazzurim, which is in Gibeou, 2 Kings x, 2-4. Now, as soon as this letter cometh to you. seeing your masters sons are with you, and tftere arc with you cliariots and horses, a fenced city also, and armour. Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house. But they were exceeding- ly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not liefore him: how then shall we stand? 2 Kings xiv, 8-12. Then Amaz- iah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying. Come, let us look one another in the face. And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that loas in Lebanon sent to the cedar that loas in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle. Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up; glory of this, and tarry at home: for why ehouldest thou meddle to thi/ hurt, that thou shouldest M\,even thou, and Judah with thee? But Amaziah would not hear. There- fore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which be- longeth to Judah. And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to their tents. COWARDICE. Num. xiii, 31.

And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the Lord your God, he is God In heaven above, and in earth beneath.

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. SYMBOL OF THE CHURCH AND ITS SYMPATHETIC UNITY. Bom. xii, 4, 5. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, bei?ig many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 1 (7or. .xii, 14-26. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not ot the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole b(/.ly tvere an eye, where icere the hearing? If the whole were hear- ing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now are they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, wliich seem to be more feeble, are neces- sary: And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we be- stow more abundant honour, and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. For our comely ^lO^^t^ have no need: but God hath tempered the body to- gether, having given more abund- ant honour to that part which lacked; That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suifer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Eph. i, 23. Which is his body, the fulness of him that fiffeth all in all. Eph. ii, 16. And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby. Eph. iii, 6. That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the go.spel. Eph. iv, 4, 12, 16. Tliere is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the minis- try, for the edifying of the body of Christ. From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which everj ioint supplieth, according to the efl"ectual working in the measure of every part, maketli increase of- the body unto the edifying of it- self in love. Eph. V, 23. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. (7oios. i, 18, 24. And he is tlie head of the body, the church: Avho is the beginning, the first- born from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre- eminence. Who now rejoice in my suiferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflic- tions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church. Qolos. ii, 19. And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the in- crease of God. <^olos. iii, 15. And let the p"';co of God rule in your hearts, co the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankfuL BODY, THE BODY HAS AN INTEREST IN CHRIST'S SALVATION. Bom. vl, 6, 12. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified witli Mm, tliat the body of sin miglit be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Let not sin tlierofore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Bom. viii, 10, 11, 13, 23. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if tlie Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he tliat raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mor- tal bodies by his Spirit that dwell- eth in you. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the flrstfruits of the Spirit, even Ave ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the re- demption of our body. Eom. xii, 1. I beseech you there- fore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reason- able service. 1 (7or. vi, 13, 15, 18-20. Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the mem- bers of an harlot? God forbid. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that coramitteth fornication siinieth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: theretore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 (7or. vii, 34. There is differ- ence also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth lor the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is mur- ried careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 1 Qor. ix, 27. But I keep under my body, and bring it into sub- jection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to otliers, I myself should be a castaway, 2 Qor. Iv, 10. Always bearing about in the body the dying of tlie Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2 ^or. V, 10. For we must all ap- pear before the ^judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things do7ie in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Cfal. vl, 17. From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. Fhil. i, 20. According to my earnest expectation and 7n?j hope, that in nothing I shall bo asham- ed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. Phil, iii, 21. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby ho is able even to sub- due all things unto himself. 1 Thess. V, 23. And the very God of i)eace sanctify you Avholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, WILL BE RAISED AGAIN. (See under Disease and Death.) STATURE. Gen. vi, 4.

And they brought up an evil I'eport of the land which they bad searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through Avhi<-h Ave have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that Ave saw in it are men of a great stature. Deut. ii, 10, 11, 20. The Emims dwelt therein in tiniies past, a peo- ple great, and many, and tall, as the AnaUims; Which also Avere accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims. That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Am- monites call them Zamzumminis. Judrjes i, 20. And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sous of Anak. 1 Sam. X, 23. And they ran and fetched him [Saul] thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher tlian any of the peo- ple from his shoulders and upward. 1 Sam. xvii, 4.

I said, 1 Avill go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof. .... Matth. vi. 27. Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? Luk^ xix, 3. And he sought to see Jesus Avho ho AA'as; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. SENSES. Gen. xxvii, 27. And he camo near, and kissed him: and ho smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said. See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed. Exod. \\, 11. And the Lobd said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or Avho maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Loku? 1 Sam. iii, 11. And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I Avill do a thing in Israel, at Avhich both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. Job vi, 30. Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste dis- cern perverse things? Job xii, 11. Doth not the ear try Avords? and the mouth tasto his meat? Job xxxiv, 3.

Daniel 1, 12-16. Prove thy ser- vants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. Then let our countenances be looked upon before ttieo, and the countenance of the children thateatof the por- tion of the king's nu^at: and as thoa eeest, deal with thy servants. So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days. An'l at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did oat the portion of the king's meat. Thus Melzar took avay the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse. Micah vi, 14. Thon shalt eat, but not to be satisfied; and thy casting down Shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shult not deliver; and that which tliou deliverest will I give up to the sword.

Whether therefore ye eat, or < rink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (See under Diet and Dress.) CONSTITUENT PAETS OF BODY. FLESH. Gen. II, 21. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof. Exod.iv,7. And ho said.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suftered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath sulTered in the flesh hath ceased from sin. NAME OF CORRUPTED HU- MAN NATURE, ESPECIALLY IN THE WRITINGS OF PAUL. John ill, 6. That which is bora of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Bom. vii, 5, 18, 25. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; b.t how to perform that which is good I find not. I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Bom. vlli, 3-9. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the like- ness of sinful flesh, and for sin. condemned sin In the flesh: That the ri!aces, to weep: Moab shall howl verNebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off. Isa.xxii, 12. And In that day did the Lord Gjd of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to bal'lness, and to girding with sackcloth. Jer. xlviii, 37.

Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved bis head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped. Ezek. xliv, 20. Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads. Acts xxi, 24.

And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you. CHARACTER AND EXPUL- SION OF ITS ABORIGINES. Exod. xxiii, 29, 30. I will not CANAAN. drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and tlie beast of the hold multiply against thee. By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. Exod. xxxiv, 11. Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite. and the Ca- naanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzlte, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. Lev. xvili, 25, 27, And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomlteth out her in- habitants. (For all these abomin- ations have the men of the land done which ?«ere before you, and the land is defiled.) Num. xxiv, 19. Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city. Num. xxxiii, 53, 55, 56. And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to pos- sess it. But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. Moreover, it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you as I thought to do unto them. Deut. ix, 1-3. Hear, O Israel; Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great, and fenced up to hea- ven; A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of zohom thou hast heard say, Who can stand be- fore the children of Anak? Un- derstand therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a con- suming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down be- fore thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said un- to thee. Deut xi, 22-24. For if ye shall diligently keep all these command- ments which I command you, to do them, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him; Then will the Lord drive out all these na- tions from before ypu, and ye sliall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves. Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euph- rates, even unto the uttermost sea, shall your coast be. Deut. xii, 31. Thou shalt not do so unto the Loud thy God: for every abomination to the Lord which he hateth hath they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. Deut. xviii, 14. For these na- tions, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffer- ed thee so to do. Deut. xxix, 16, 17. (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the nations which ye passed by; And ye have seen their abomina- tions, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them.) Deut. xxxi, 3. The Lord thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them; and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the Lord hath said. Josh, xii, 7, 8. And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon, even unto the mount Ilalak, that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel for a possession, according to their divisions: In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Joshua xxiii, 5. And the Lord your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the Lord your God hath promised un- to you. Joshua xxiv, 8. And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye miglit possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you. 1 Kings xxi, 26. And he did very abominably in following idols, ac- cording to all things as did the Amorites, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel. 2 Kings xvii, 7, 8. For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, which had brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, 12;; and had feared other gods. And walked in the statutes of the hea- then, whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made. Ezra ix, 10, 11. And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy com- mandments, Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying. The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness ol the people of the lands, with their "abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness. Neh. ix, 24, 25. So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would. And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards and olive- yards, and fruit trees in abund- ance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and de- lighted themselves in thy great goodness. Ps. Ixxviii, 55. He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. Acts xiii, 19. And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot. REFLECTIONS UPON THE CONQUEST. Num. xxi, 29-31. Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh! he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daugh- ters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites. We have shot at them; lleshbon is perished even unto. Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Noph- ah, which reacheth unto Medeba. Thus Israel dwelt in ihe land ol the Amorites. Deut. iv, 3Y, 38. And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt; To drive out nations from before thee, greater and mightier tiian thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day. Deitt. xxvi, 3. And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the Lord thy God, that I am come unto the CANAAiT. cotititry which the Lord sware unto our fathers for to give us. Neh. ix, 22. Moreover, thou gavest them khigdoms and nations, and didst divide them into cor- ners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. 2 Qhron. xx, 7. Art not thou our God, w//o didst drive out the in- habitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? Ps. xliv, 1-3. We have heard with our ears, God, our fathers, have told us, what work thou didst In their days, in the times of old. How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; hov) thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. Ps. xlvii, 4. He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob, whom he loved. Selah. Ps. IxxvliJ, 54. And he brought them to the border of his sanc- tuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had pur- chased. Ps. cv, 44. And gave them the lands of the heathen: and ttiey in- herited the labour of the people. Ps. cyi, 10. And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. Ps. cxi, 6. He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heri- tage of the heathen, Ps. cxxxv, 10-12. Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan: And gave their laud for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. Ps. cxxxvl, 21-23. And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever: Even an heritage unto Israel his ser- vant, for his mercy endureth for ever. Who remembereth us in our loAv estate: for his mercy en- dureth for ever. Amos il, 9. Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose aeight teas like the height of the cedars, and he 7vas strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath. SOME OF THE ABORIGINES UNEXPELLED, Josh, xiii, 13. Nevertheless, the children of Israel expelled not the Gf'sliurites, nor the Maachath- ites; but the Geshurites and tlie Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day. Josh. XV, 63. As for the Jebus- ites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day. Josh, xvii, 12. Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. Judges \, 21. And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusa- lem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jeru- salem unto this day. Judges i, 27, 29, 31-36. Neither did Manasseh drive out the in- habitants of Beth-shean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabi- tants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaan- ites tliat dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them. Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Apluk, nor of Re- hob: But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabi- tants of the land; for they did not drive tliem out. Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabi- tants of Beth-shemesh, nor the in- habitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: neverthe- less the inhabitants of Beth-she- mesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries unto them. And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley: But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaal- bim; yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries. And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward. Judges \\\, 1-3. Now these are the nations which the Lord left, to prove Israel by them; {even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan; Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know to teach them war, at the least such as before 127 knew nothing thereof;) Namely, five lords 'of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidon- ians, and tlie Hlvites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-liermon unto the entering in of Ilamath. Ps. cvi, 34, 35. They did not de- stroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord commanded them: But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. AND MADE TRIBUTARIES. Joshua xvl, 10. And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwelt among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve un der tribute. Joshua xvii, 13. Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive tliem out. Judges \, 28, 30. And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, aad did not utterly drive them out. Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol: but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries. 1 Kings ix, 20, 21. And all the people that were left of the Amo- rites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel. Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solo- mon levy a tribute of bond-service unto this day. 2 Qhron. viii, 7, S.^Asfor all the people that icere ' left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel, But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel con- sumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day. CANAAN POSSESSED AC- CORDING TO DIVINE PRO- MISE. Josh, xxi, 43-45. And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies belore them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand. There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel: all came to pass. Josh, xxiil, 1-4. And it came to CANAAN". pass, a long time after that the Lord had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old, and stricken in age. And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in agce: And ye h ive seen all that the IiObd your God hath done unto all these na- tions because of you; for the Lord your God is he that hath fought for you. Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to he an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut oflf, even unto the great sea westward. Josh, xxiv, 13, 28. And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat. So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance. Judges ii, 6. And when Joshua had let the people go, the chil- dren of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land. Judges xxi, 24. And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe, and !o his family, and they went out from thence every man to his In- lieritance. CHART FOR DIVISION OF THE COUNTRY. Num. xxxiv, 2-15. Command the children of Israel, and say un- to them. When ye come into the land of Canaan, (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an in- iieritance, even tlie land of Canaan, with the coasts thereof,) Then your south quarter shall be from Uie wilderness of Zin, along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward: And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going iorth thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon: And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of It shall be at the sea. And ■fs/or the western border, ye shall iveu have the great sea for a bor- ■len this shall be your west border. \nd this shall be your north bor- lor, from the great sea ye shall ,>i)int out for you mount Hor: t-'rom mount llor ye shall point out 1/our border unto the entrance ijf Ilamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad. And the border shall go on to i^lphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border. And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham. And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward. And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the go- ings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land, with the coasts thereof round about. And Moses commanded the chil- dren of Israel, saying. This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the Lord commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe. For the tribe of the children of Reuben, according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad, according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheri- tance, and half the tribe of Ma- nasseh have received their in- heritance. The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their in- heritance on this side Jordan near Jericho, eastward, toward the sun- rising. Josh, xii, 4-6. And the coast of Og king of Bashan, lohich was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites, and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon: Them did Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the children of Israel.smite; and Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave it for a possession unto the Reuben- ites, and the Gadites, and the half- tribe of Manasseh. Josh, xiii, 3-12. From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to theCanaanite: Ave lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites; From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites; And tlie land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sun-ris- ing, irom Baal-gad under mount Ilermon, .unto the entering into Ilamath: All the inhabitants of the hill-country, from Lebanon unto Misreplioth-maim, and all the Sidonians. them will I drive out from before the children of Israel; only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inlieri- tance, as I have commanded thee. Now therefore divide this land for an inlieritance unlo the nine tribes and the halt-tribe of JLaiasseh; With whom the Reubcuites and 128 the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave them; From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon; And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Hesh- bon, unto the border of the chil- dren of Ammon; And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Her- mon, and all Bashan unto Salcah; All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth, and in Ech-ei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out. OCCUPANCY ON EAST SIDE JORDAN. Num.xxxii, 19,33. P'or we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; bec.iuse our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward. And Moses gave unto them, even to tlie chil- dren of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of J03ei)h, the kingdom of Silion kin^- of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the laud, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about. Josh, xxii, 1-4, 7, 9. Then Joshua called the Reubenites. and the Gadites, and the half- tribe of Manasseh, And said unto them. Ye have kept all tint Moses, the servant of the Louu, commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you. Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, buthave kept the charge of the command- ment of the Lord your God. And now the Lord your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get ye unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses, the ser- vant of the Lord, gave you on the other side Jordan. Now to the o?ie half of the tribe of M anasseh, Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brelhren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them: And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, returned, and de- parted from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the worrT of the LoitD by the hand of Moses.

(their names being chang- ed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which tliey budded. Josh, xill, 15-21. 23. And Moses gave unto the tribe of the cliil- dren of Reuben inheritance, ac- cording to their families: And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the bank of tlie river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba; Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal- raeon.

And the bor- der of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the border thereof. This icas the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages thereof. O F S I M E N. Josh, xix, 1-9. And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Si- meon, according to their families: and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.

This isthe inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon, according to their families. Out of the portion of the children of Julah was the inheritance of the cluldren of Si- meon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them; therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance v>ithiu the Inheritance of them.

And at Bllhah, and at Czem, and at Tolad, And at Bethuel, and at llormah, and at Ziklag, And at Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susim, and at Belh- birei, and at Shaaraira.

So the children of Joseph, Manasseh, and Ephraim, took their inheritance. Josh, xvii, 10. Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was CANAAN. Manasseh'e, and the sea Is his bor- der; and they met together in Asher on tlie north, and in Issacliar on the east. MANASSEH, (SINGLY). Num. xxxii, 41,42.

And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities; And half Gilead, and Ash- taroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, toere pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Matiasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir, by their families. These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward. Josh, xvii, 1-9, 11. There was also a lot for the tribe of Ma- nasseh, (for he was the first-born of Joseph,) to wit, for Machir, the flrst-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male-children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families. But Zelophchad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, tlie son oi Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daugh- ters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. And they came near before i:ieazar the priest, and before Josliua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The Lokd commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren: therefore, according to the commandment of the Lord, he gave them an in- heritance among the brethren of their father. And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan which were on the other side Jordan; Because the daughters of Ma- nasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Ma- nasseh's sons had the land of Gilead. And the coast of Ma- nasseh was from Asher to Mich- methah, that i/e loose the bauds of wickoilness, , to undo tlie heavy burdens, and to | let the o pressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that aro cast out to thy liuuse? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; aiul that thou hide not thy- self from thine own flesh? Then shall tliy lijrht break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily; and thy riglieousness shall go before thee: the glory of the Loan shall be thy rere-ward. Jer. xiv, 12. When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt-offering and an | oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence. Zech. vii, 5. Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, Haying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast uuto me, j even to me? Zech. vlii, 19. Thus saith the Lono of hosts. The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace. 3Iatt. vi, 16-18. Moreover, when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for tliey dis- . figure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face. That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. Mark ii, 18-20. And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? And Jesus said unto them. Can the children of the bride-chamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can- not fast. But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken aAvay from them, and then Biiall they fast in those days. PASTS BY DIVINE AUTHORITY. Joel i, 14. Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the el- ders and all the iuhabitanta of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry uuto the Lord. Joel ii, 12. 15, 16.

But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest for Ids cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again. And if the priest see, that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him un- clean: it ^ a leprosy. When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest; And thts priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising, It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh; and the priest shall pro- nounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean. But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean. And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean; for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.

But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing; Tlien the priest shall look on him: and, behold, If the scall fee spread in the skin, tlie priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean. And if there be in the bald head, or bald fore- head, a white reddish sore, it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead. Tlien the priest shall look upon it: and, be- hold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh, He is a leprous man, he is un- clean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him. Ezek. XXV, 8. 9, 11. Thus saith the Lord God, Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the hea- then; Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory ot the country, Beth-jeahimoth, Baal- meon, and Kiriutbaim.

And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days: she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfllled.

This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female.

Ezek. xvi, 4, 5. And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was mjt cut, neither wast thou washed in water to sup- ple thee: thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

Job iii, 16. Or as an hidden un- timely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. Ps. Iviii, 8 Let every one of them pass away; like the un- timely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun. Eccles.\\,Z-b. If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he: For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, an 1 his name shall be covered with darkness.

And Abram said, Lord God, What wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my tiouse is mine heir. Gen. xxix, 31. And when the Lord saw that Leah loas hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren. Judges xiii, 2. And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not. 1 Sam. i, 5, 6, 8. But unto Han- nah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the Lord had shut up her womb. And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her tret, beciuse the Lord had shut up her womb. Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sous? 2 Sam. vi, 23. Therefore Michal, the daughter of Saul, had no child unto the day of her death. Mark xii, 18-22. Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, Master, Moses wrote uuto uS; If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him. and leave no children, that his brother slionid take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. And the secdiid took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the tliird likewise. And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. Luke i, 7, 25. And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren; and they both were noio well stricken in years. Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. Job xxiv, 21. He evil-entreateth the barren that beareth not, and doeth not good to the widow. Isa. liv, 1, Sing, O barren, thou tTiat didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child; for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord. Gkil. iv, 26-28. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an hut-band. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. BARRENNESS WEALED BY PRAYER. Gen. XX, 17, 18. So Abraham prayed unto God: and God heal- ed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants; and they bare children. For the Lord had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, bec^se of Sarah, Abraham's wife. Gen, XXV, 21. And Isaac entreat- ed the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. Gen. XXX, 22-24. And God re- membered Rachel, and God heark- ened to her, and opened her womb. And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach: And she called his name Joseph; and said. The Lord shall add to me another son. 2 Kings iv, 17. And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life. Luke i, 57, 58.

And it came to pass the tliird day, which was Pliuraoh's birthday, that he made a feast un- U) all Ills servants: and he lifted up the liead of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his ser- vants. Job iii, 1-10. After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. And Job spake, and said. Let the day perish wherein I was b( rn, and tlie night m tchich it was said, Tliere is a man-child conceived. Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. As for that niglit, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year; let it not come into the number of tlie months. Lo, let that night be solitary; let no joyffil voice come therein. Let tliem curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. Let the stars of their twilight thereof be dark; let it look tor light, but have none; neither let it see the dawn- ing of the day: Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. Matth. xiv, 6. But when Herod's birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. Mark vi, 21. And when a con- venient day was come, that Ilerod, on his birth-day, made a supper to his lords, higli captains, and chief estates of Galilee. SPECIAL ATTACHMENT TO PLACE OF BIRTH. Gen. XXX, 25. And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, tliat Jacob said unto La- ban, Send me away, tliat 1 may go unto mine own place, and to my country. Gen. xxxi, 3, 30. And the Lord said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. And now, though thou would est needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? Exod. xviii, 27. And Moses let his father-in-law depart; and he went his way into his own land. Num. X, 29, 30. And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' fiather-in-law, O FAMILY. We are jotirneylng unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it you: come tliou witli us, and we will do thee good; for the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel. And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kin- dred. Buth 1, 15. And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back un- to her people, and unto her gods. 1 Kings xi, 21, 22. And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Iladad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country. Then Pharaoh said unto him. But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own coun- try? And he answered. Nothing; Lowbeit, let me go in any wise. Neh. ii, 3-5. And said unto the king. Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, Z/eiA waste, and the gates tliereof are con- sumed with fire? Then the king said unto me. For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven. And J said unto the king. If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that tliou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fatliers' sepul- chres, that 1 may build it. Other Allusions. Ezek. xxi, 30. Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity. Marie vi, 4. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. Imke iv, 24. And he said. Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. John iv, 44. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. NAMING THE CHILD. CIRCUMCISION, {See under ORDINANCES.) Gen. xxi, 3. And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him. Isaac. Gen. xxix, 32-35. And Leah conceived, and bare a son; and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me. And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said. Because the Lord hath heard that I loas hated, lie hath therefore given me this 8as a man duth bear his son, in all FAMILY. the way that ye went, until vfs came into this place, Fs. viii, 2. Out of the month of babes and sncltlings hast thou or- dained strengtli because of tliine enemies, tliat tliou migbtest still the enemy and the avenger. Isa. Ixvl, 11-13. That ye may suck, and he satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted Avlth the abundance of her glory. For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river,and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and h^ dandled upon her knees. As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Je- rusalem, Hosea xi, 3, T taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. Matth. xxiv, 19, And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! 1 (7or.iii,l,2. And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you Avith milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able, 1 Tliess. \\, 7, But we were gen tie among you, even as a nurse cherisheth lier children. Eeb. V, 12, 13. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first prin- ciples of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is un- Bkilful in the word of righteous-'' ness: for he is a babe. 1 Feter ii, 2. As new-born babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. WEANING. Gen. xxi, 8. And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned, 1 Sam. I, 22-24. But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, / icill not go ui? un- til the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord, and there abide lor ever. And Elkanah her husband said unto her. Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the Lord establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her 8on suck until she weaned him. And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephali of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the Lord in Shiloh: and the child was young, 1 Kings xi, 20, And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Geuubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons ot Pharaoh. Ps. xxvil, 10, When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up, Ps. cxxxi, 2. Surely I have be- haved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child, Isa. xi, 8, And the sucking child shall play on the h«le of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. Isa. xxviil, 9, Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall lie make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts, Hosea i, 8, Now, when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she con- conceived, and bare a son. JUVENILE THOUGHTS AND PASTIMES. Zech. viii, 5, And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. Matth. xi, 16, 17. But where- unto shall I liken this genera- tion? It is like unto children sit- ting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, And saying. We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourn- ed unto you, and ye have not lamented. Luke vii, 31, 32. And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like unto children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. 1 Cor. xiii, 11. And when I was a child, I spake as a child, I un- derstood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, 1 put away childish things. CHARACTERS OF CHILDREN EARLY DEVELOPED. Gen. xxi, 9, 20. And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abra- ham, mocking. And God was with the lad; and he grew, and 211 dwelt in the wilderness, and be- came an archer. Gen. XXV, 27. And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob ^tJas a plain man dweUing in tents. Judges xiii, 24, 25. And the wo- man bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him. And the Spirit of the Lord began to move him at times in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol. 1 Sam. ii, 11, 26. And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house: and the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest. And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour l)otii with the Lord, and also with men. 2 Kings ii, 23, 24, And he went up from thence unto Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. Job xix, 18, Yea, young chil- dren despised me: I arose, and they spake against me, Ps. cxliv, 12, That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polish- ed after the similitude of a palace. Prov. XX, 11. Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. Eccles. xi, 10. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. 1 Peter i, 14. As obedient chil- dren, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts m your ignorance. CHILDREN TENDERLY CARED FOR, AND OFTEN PROPOSED AS AxN EXAiMPLE. Gen. xxi, 17. And God heard the voice of the lad: and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her. What ailetli thee, Hagai-? fear not; lor God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Ps. cxlvii, 13. For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy chil- dren within thee, Matth. xviii, 2-6, And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them. And said, Verily I say unto you. Ex- cept ye be converted, and become FAMILY. as little chiUlren, ye sTiall not enter into tlie kinf?doin of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall hum- ble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the liingdom of heaven. And whoso shall re- ceive one such little child iu my name, receiveth me. Matth. xlx, 13, 14. Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus sai?STRUC- TION. Prov. X, 1. The Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. Prov. XV, 20. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother, Prov. xvii. 21, 25. He that be- getteth a fool doeth it to his sor- row; and the father of a fool hath no joy. A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him. Prov. xix, 26. He that wasteth his father, and chaseth aAvay Ms mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach. Prov. xxii, 6. Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Prov. xxiii, 15, 16, 24, 25.

The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice; and he that be- getteth a wise child shall have joy of him. Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice. Prov. xxviii, 24. Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a de- stroyer. Prov. XXX, 11. There is a gener- ation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. Isa. 1, 2, Hear, O heavens; and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, 1 have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. PATERNAL BLESSINGS. Gen. ix, 24-27. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said. Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said. Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. Gen. xxvil, 10, 29, 32-38. And thou Shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death. Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed b6 he that blesseth thee. 217 And Isaac his father said unto him. Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy first-born, Esau. And Isaac trembled very exceed- ing'y, and said. Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, a7id he shall be blessed. And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father. Bless me, even me also, O my father! And he said. Thy brother came with subtilty. and hath taken away thy blessing. And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not re- served a blessing for me? And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I eus- tained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son? And Esau said unto his father. Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, eve7i me also, O my father! And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept, THE FAMILY PROPHECY OF JACOB. Gen. xlix, 1-28, And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. Gather yourselves together and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. Reuben, thou art my first-born, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the ex- cellency of power: Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; be- cause thou wentest up to thy lather's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch. Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united! for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self- will they digged down a wall. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel, Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not FAMILY. depart from Jndah.noralawgriver from between his feet, until Sliiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be: Bind- ing his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships: and his border shall be unto Zidon. Issachar is a strong ass couching down be- tween two burdens: And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it loas pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute. Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. Dau shall be a ser- pent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall baclvward. I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord. Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last. Out of Aslier his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties. Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words. Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well, lohose branches run over the wall. The archers have sorely grieved him, and sliot at him, and hated him: But his bow abode In strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is tlie Shepherd, the stone of Israel:) Even by the God of thy fatljer, who shall help thee, and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lioth under, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the ever- lasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separ- ate from his brethren. Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the mor- ning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil. All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their lather spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them. ADOPTION. Gen. xlviii, 6, 6, And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Man- asseh, which were born imto thee in the land of Egypt, before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine: as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. And thy ii-sue, which Uiou begettest after tliem, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name ot their brethren in their inheritance. Heb. xii, 24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, re- fused to be cilied the son of Pharaoh's daughter. SPIRITUAL ADOPTION— ITS SOURCE THE GRACE OF GOD. Eosea 1, 10. Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered: and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them. Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto tliem. Ye are the sons of the living God. John i, 12, 13. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Eph. I, 5. Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, accord- ing to the good pleasure of his will. 1 John lii, 1. Behold what manner of love the Father luuli bestowed upon us, that we should be called the suns of God! tliere- fore tlie world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. ITS BLESSINGS. i^. Ixxxix, 26, 27. He shall cry unto me, Thou art ray Father, my God, and the Rock of my salva- tion. Also I will make him my first-born, higher than the kings of the earth. Jer. iii, 4, 19. Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth? But I said. How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage ot the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou Shalt call me. My father; and Shalt not turn away from me. Bom. vlii, 14-17. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, tliey are the suns of God. For ye have not received the Spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have receiv- ed the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we sufler with him, that we may be also glorified together. 2 (7o?*. vl, 18. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughter's, saitb the Lord Almighty. Gal. iii, 26. For ye are all the children of God by laith in Christ Jesus. 218 Gal. iv, 5-7,19,28. To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. AVheretore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. My little children, of wliom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. 1 John iii, 2, Beloved, now are we the sons of God; and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; foi we shall see him as he is. ITS DUTIES. Matth. V, 45. That ye may be the cliildren of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Eijh. v, 1. Be ye therefore follow- ers of God, as dear children. Phil, ii, 15. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. Heb. xii, 5. And ye have forgot- ten the exhortation which spcak- eth unto you as unto children. My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him. 1 John iii, 3, 10. And every man that hath this hope in him purifl- eth himself, even as he is pure. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not right- eousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. IV. FAMILY CIKCLB. INTERCOURSE AMONG RELATIVES. Gen. xiv, 16. And he [Abraham] brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. Gen. xxviii, 5. And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother. Gen. xxlx, 4-6, 12. And Jacob said unto them. My bretliren, whence 6e ye? And they said. Of Haran are we. And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said. We know him. And he said unto them. Is be well? And they said. He ia wrell: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. And Jacob told R;ichel that he vxis her father's brother, and that j he was Rel)eUah'8 son: and she ! ran and told her father. | Geti. xxxvii, 14. And he said to ; him, Go, I pray thee, see whether i it be well with thy brethren, and ! well with the floclis; and bring me word again Gen. xliii, 6, 7. And Israel said, Wlierefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? And they said, The man asked \is straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying. Is your father j^et alive? have ye another brothei-? and we told him according to the tenor of these words. Could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down? Exod. iv, 18. And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father- in-law, and said unto him, Let me go, T pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace. Exod. xvlii, 5-8. And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he en- camped at the mount of God. And he said unto Moses, I thy fathei--in-law, Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her. And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare: and they came into the tent. And Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lokd had done unto Pharaoh, and to the E:gyptians, for Israel's sake, a7id all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the Lord delivered them. Num. X, 31, 32. And he said. Leave us not, I pray tliee; foras- much as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes. And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the Lord shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee. Eutk ii, 1, 20. And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name icas Boaz*. And Noami said unto her daughter-in-law. Blessed be he of the Lord, who hath not lelt off his 1 indness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kins- men. 1 Sam. xvli, 17.

And David said to Joab. and to the rulers of the people, Go, num- ber Israel, from Beer-shcba even to Dan, and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. And Joab answered. The Lord make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel? Nevertheless the king's word pre- vailed against Joab: wherefore Joab departed, and Avent through- out all Israel, and came to Jeru- salem. And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thoxisand and an hun- dred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thous- and men that drew sword. But Levi ai;id Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab. And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I be- seech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for 1 have done very • foolishly. IV.
