 PREFACE. 
 
 : 
 
 AN uniformity of" accentuation hath beeii 
 much wifhed for, as it gives a grace* and 
 attracts the attention of an audience, to a public 
 or to a private fpeaker for this purpofe the 
 following Lexicon was compiled. -It includes, 
 chiefly, the proper names of per/bus, 'places-, and 
 of Jeveral objefts of importance in facred writ- 
 it was felected from a large work under compi- 
 lation) on a more extenfive fcale $ arid it was 
 judged that it might be of life, not only to young 
 fcholars, efpecially to thofe who may be defigned 
 for the facred delk, but alfo to many who are 
 more advanced in life, of all denominations. 
 
 The mofl diftinct works oil this plan, and 
 which highly merit the applaufe of the publick, 
 are the -pronouncing Difiionaries of Mr. J, 
 WALKER, and of Mr. SHERIDAN had they made 
 their plan more extenfive, and included in it 
 the proper names of perfons and places, thd 
 great trouble of this compilation had been favcdj 
 and the publick had been more benefited. 
 
 The/r/? defign of the compiler, was, to have 
 prefented a mere vocabulary onlyj but on a fur- 
 ther confideration, it was judged that an expla* 
 of the names would bt more fatisfactory*

 ty PREFACE. 
 
 as it would more enlarge the mind, and give 
 fubftance to what, by ibme, might be thought to 
 be madow only and on further thought, it was 
 determined to give the meaning of the names, 
 which would, at leaft, give play to curiofity $ 
 and, poflibly, be of real ufe for this purpofe, 
 the meaning of moil of the words is inferted, 
 according to the hebrew, cbaldee, Jyriac, greek, 
 latin, and other antient languages ; which often 
 make a difference in the meaning of the fame 
 word the names arc divided into fyllables and 
 marked by this ftroke ( ' ) for the accent, fo that 
 they may be eafity read with a proper accen- 
 tuation. ' 
 
 This Lexicon, as it is now offered, criticifm 
 will either juftify or cenfure ; but as it is offered 
 with a good intention, the compiler claims the 
 tandwr of criticifm. Had anv thing of this kind 
 
 4 C_- 
 
 and on tliis plan been exhibited, or not have 
 been wanted, the compiler would have been 
 gladly excufed from fo laborious a tafk if the 
 errors are fuch as may miflead, he will wiih that 
 he had favecl his own time and trouble but if 
 ft mail tend to public advantage, he will then 
 c.fteem the approbation of the publick an ample 
 compenfation for the pains, he hath taken for its 
 benefit. 
 
 ADVER-
 
 TO THIS 
 
 FOURTH EDITION. 
 
 THE candour of the publick having encou- 
 raged the fale of a pretty large impreffion 
 of the SCRIPTURE LEXICON, a fourth edition is 
 now offered ; in which there arc many additions 
 which enlarge the work the greek of mod of the 
 proper names are affixed to them, by which the 
 Literati may judge of the propriety or improprU 
 cty of the accentuation. 
 
 Several alterations are made, in the divifion 
 of the fyllables of the proper names, and of, the 
 accents alib, which the compiler, upon the Ye- 
 vifal of them, thought proper to alter, and 
 which he fubniits to the judgment 'of others -, 
 but he flatters himfelf, that this edition is not 
 quite fo incomplete as the former on one ac- 
 count it is left fo ; as the Lexicon and its A$$en~ 
 dix are now united in one alphabetical feries. 
 
 The method taken, in order, more accurately, 
 to afcertain the accentuation, was this the com- 
 piler adverted to an obfervation of that learned 
 Hebraift as well as ornament to human nature, 
 Dr. LOWTH (the late Bifhop of LONDON) in 
 the preface to his Ifaiab, id edition A. D. 1775 j 
 6 wherein
 
 ti ADVERTISEMENT TO THIS 
 
 wherein he faith, " but the true pronunciation! 
 " of Hebrew is loil the hebrew language, like 
 * f moft of the other oriental languages, expref- 
 < fmg only the confonants, and being deftitute 
 ec of its vowels, has lain now for two thoufand 
 * f years in a manner mute and incapable of ut- 
 " terance- the number of fyilables is in a great 
 " many words uncertain, the quantity and ac- 
 c< cent wholly unknown." The compiler, there- 
 fore, chofe tor his guides, the Septuagint verfion 
 of the Old Teftamerit and of the A-pocrypbct y and 
 *hc verfion of the New Tejiament by B. Arius 
 Montanus but as the former fometimes failed 
 him, he had recourfe to other authorities : but 
 even, in fome inftances, he was obliged to grope 
 out his way in the belt manner he could, hav- 
 ing no clue at all. 
 
 It may be obferved, that over the three vowels 
 E, O, U, there are frequently, hyphens the 
 defign of which, is to exprefs the length of the 
 found of thofe vowels in ftich cafes they are 
 to be pronounced* 
 
 The as in the wordyhv/. 
 The o as in the word tor.e. 
 The U as in the word tune, 
 
 as alfo where they are accented ; when there is 
 no hyphen over them otherwife they are to be 
 pronounced, generally, 
 
 The E as in the word men*. 
 The O as in the word not. 
 The U as in the word run. 
 
 It may be further obferved, that after feveral 
 of the greek letters, is added an L. as in the 
 
 word
 
 FOURTH EDITION. vu 
 
 'word Sab'-a-oth, L. Sab'aoth, which are references 
 to that moft valuable work the Catholic! Indices 
 of the learned Father Labbe, printed in London, 
 A. D. 1771 : and they are inlerted whether they 
 conform or not to the compiler's accentuation. 
 
 Some of the proper names which are uled in 
 common converfation, as they are accented in this 
 Lexicon may appear aukward in the pronuncia- 
 tion; but had they been ufually pronounced 
 in this manner, they would have been as familiar 
 as the prefent mode of accenting them. NQ 
 doubt every fpeaker will adopt that mode of ac- 
 centuation which may be moft agreeable to him. 
 
 The compiler was in fome hopes to have pre- 
 fented this edition with fewer errors than it is 
 now foiled with : but the Scripture Lexicon is of 
 fo complicated a texture, that it was morally irn- 
 pofllble to preferve every thread, either un- 
 broken, or even fbme of the errors are correc- 
 ted j but he hath not the vanity to think that he 
 hath corrected all of them : an accurate eye will, 
 doubtlefs, perceive more but he flatters himfelf^ 
 that the candour which was exercifed in the recep- 
 tion of the former impreffions will be continued 
 to this fortunate he would have been, had he 
 ftood in no need of the exercife of any candour; 
 although there is fome degree of fatisfaclion, to 
 an author or to a compiler, in being indebted to 
 the publick for the favourable fentiments which 
 it indulges him with.

 OF'-FER-INGS. Among the/^w, under the mofaic 
 law, there were a variety of offerings inftituted, 
 which are accurately described in the beginning 
 of the book of Leviticus, as 
 
 Burnt-offerings: thefe were to confift, either of 
 the herd, and out of that the bullock only, and 
 he without blemifh or of the flock, as the fheep 
 or the goat, and out of that the male only, and 
 he without blemifh or laftly, of fowls, the tur- 
 tle dove or the young pigeon thefe five were 
 the only offering for a burnt facrifice, which 
 was to be wholly deftroyed by fire, and at the 
 door of the tabernacle only ; except what was 
 thrown away of the legs and infides of the bul- 
 lockj fheep or goat, and the crop and feathers 
 of the birds. There was no unclean beaft or 
 bird to be offered and thefe were to be offered
 
 O F 
 
 by way of atonement for fin. Philo, the learned- 
 jew, obferves, that the offerer was to be like his 
 oblation ; if fo, then induftry and innocence, 
 ufefulnefs and fimplicity are recommended, bf 
 this inftitution, to the worfhippers of GOD. 
 
 Drink-offerings. With a hillock, half a bin of 
 wine, with three tenth deals of flour and half a 
 hin of orl. 
 
 Wkh a Ram t one third of an kin of wine, with 
 two tenth deals of flour and one third of an 
 hin of oil. 
 
 With a lamb or a kid of the goat, wt quarter of 
 an hin of wine, with one tenth deal of flour and 
 one quarter of an hin of oil. 
 
 With ajheaf of the frft fruits, one quartet 1 of an 
 hin of wine, with one tenth deal of flour with oil. 
 
 Heave-offering. It is fo called, from the facri- 
 fke being lifted up towards heavon in token of 
 its being devoted to GOD. 
 
 Meat-offering. It might well be tranflated 
 wheat-offering, as it confifted, chiefly, of flour; 
 for no fort of flefh was to be offered in it it 
 confifted of things inanimate, as flour, bread, oil, 
 wine, fait, frankincenfe, &c. the wave fheaf and 
 the two wave loaves for the whole congregation, 
 and the others for private perfons according 
 to their ability in the expence of their offering 
 the bread was to be unleavened, for Maimonides 
 fays, it was to diftinguifh the worfhippers of 
 the true God from the 2-abian idolaters of thofe 
 times, who offered to their gods no bread but 
 leavened. 
 
 Peace-offering* It was an offering of thankf- 
 giving for peace, or for mercies received fome- 
 times it was offered by way of vow, in hope of 
 peace or future bleflings ; and fometimes it was 
 offered without any antecedent obligation of a 
 vow, in which cafe it was called a. free-will-offering, 
 in and tfefpafs-ojfering fuppofed the offender 
 
 obnox-
 
 O F 227 
 
 obnoxious, and GOD difpleafed; but the peace- 
 effering fuppofed GOD to be reconciled to the 
 offerer, and him to be at peace with GOD, In 
 the Jin and trefpafs-cffering, though the prieits par- 
 took of it, yet the offerer had no fliare ; but in 
 the peace-offering both prieft and offerer partook 
 and feafted upon it. In the burnt-offering or holo- 
 caujl the whole facrifice was confumed by fire> 
 and neither prieft or offerer partook of them. 
 
 Sin-offering. Sin offerings were for expiation 
 of particular fins or legal imperfections, called 
 therefore, .fin-offerings the firft fort were for fins 
 of ignorance or furprize, either by the high- 
 prieft or body of the community, by the rulers, 
 or by any one of the common people. The 
 other fort of fin-offering was for voluntary fins ; 
 but as to the more capital violations of the moral 
 law, as for murder, adultery, or the Ivor/hip of idols, 
 no expiatory facrifice was admitted. 
 
 Trefpafs-cffer'mg. It was for concealing the 
 knowledge of a thing, as a witnefs ; for touch- 
 ing an unclean thing ; or in making a rafh oath 
 the offender, in this cafe, was to offer a female 
 from the flock, a lamb or a kid ; or two turtle- 
 doves or two young pigeons but if the trcfpafs 
 related to holy things, then the trefpaffer was to 
 offer a ram without blemilh. 
 
 J-Favt -offering. It was fd called, becaufe it was 
 waved up and down, and eajl, weft, north, and 
 fotttb, to fignify that he to whom it was offered, 
 was Lord of the whole world, the GOD who fills 
 all fpace> and to whom all things of right belong.

 chargej

 This river rifes in Abyjjinia from two fmall 
 fprings about a flone's throw from each other,

 empties into the mediterranean fea. The fertility

 river there are what they call Nilometers, to 
 meafure the rifing of the river ; it is faid that 
 the prefent Nilometer is a large fquare refervoir 
 furrounded by a gallery for the obfcrvers of the

 feen daily the rife of the river fome fay, if it 
 rifes only about eighteen or twenty fat 1 famine 
 enfues, but if it exceeds twenty-four or twenty-five 
 feet it doth great damage : though others make 
 the lownefs and the height of the waters mate- 
 rially different. The river begins to rife about

 UNCLEAN AND CLEAN ANIMALS. 
 
 Under the mofaick conftitution various kinds 
 of animals were prohibited, and other kinds al- 
 lowed, for food. The reafons for which were 
 moral, political, and natural the two former in 
 order to preferve the jetvs, as a diftincl people, 
 from the idolatrous nations, in the worfhip of 
 one God only, as hath been already hinted in the 
 cafe of unleavened bread. 
 
 The natural reafon for the prohibition might 
 'be, that the prohibited animals were of an al- 
 kalefcent nature, and fo, productive of various 
 difeafes in the hot climate of yud&a, agreeably to 
 the remarks of a noted englilh phyfician more 
 efpecially the fivine, which feeds upon all man- 
 ner of filth, and, as divers writers of note have 
 obferved, is apt to breed the leprofy in warm cli-

 mates, and other fcrofulous difordersj the word 
 fcrofula, being derived from the latin word fcrofa, 
 a fow : the fwine being fubjedl to the kprofy and 
 the nieafles, proceeding from its bad feeding. 
 
 The mofaick rule was, among beafts, that what- 
 ever parted, the hoof, was cloven footed and chewed 
 the cud, was allowed to be eaten : thofe that were 
 prohibited are. thus claffed in the nth chapter of 
 Leviticus, viz.

 L T/ -NI-CORN. It is an animal having but one horn,

 is no land animal, now known, of that kind : 
 although there is a fifh, called a fea unicorn, as 
 having an horn projecting from its nofe, paral- 
 lel with its body. That mentioned in the book 
 of Job, is thought, by fome, to be meant the 
 wild bull of Arabia, as the hebrew name of it is 
 Reem, which is mentioned in feveral places of 
 facred writ as of the beeve kind but, father Lobo, 
 the portuguefe jefuit, fays, that when he was 
 in Abyffinia, towards the beginning of the laft 
 century, he faw an unicorn, but could not come 
 near to him he defcribes it, as having the fhape 
 of a beautiful hcrfe, exact and nicely proportioned, 
 of a bay colour, with a black tail, which, he fays, 
 in fome provinces is long, in others fhort : fome 
 have long manes hanging to the ground they are 
 timorous, and never feed but when they are fur- 
 rounded with other animals to defend them it is 
 alfo faid, that the elephant feeds with other animals 
 around him which he defends,

 Hebrews meafured their months according to 
 the fun, and then each month confifted of thirty

 days; but after their departure from 
 their months were lunar, the frft month con- 
 tained thirty days, the next twenty-nine days and 
 fo on alternately : the new moon was always 
 the beginning of the month. When it is faid 
 that the Hebrew months anfwer to ours, it is

 the new moon will fall in the month of March 
 and the full moon in the month of April ; fo that 
 the Hebrew months will commonly partake of two 
 of our months. The Jews in every three years 
 intercalated a thirteenth month to make the Jdar 
 and lunar year equal : this month they called 
 Veadar, or the fecond Adar. After the babylonilh. 
 captivity the Hebrews took the names of their 
 months from the Chaldaans and Per/ians, among 
 whom they had lived : four of the original names 
 of their months are mentioned in Sacred Writ,
