THE BIBLE AND THE MONUMENTS; OR THE [COPYRIGHT.] HEBREWS IN THEIR RELATIONS WITH THE ORIENTAL MONARCHIES. BY THE REV. A. H. SAYCE, M.A., Queen's College, Oxford N.B.-The dates below are those necessitated by the Assyrian Canon. See also the "Chronological Summary". 1. THE GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION OF PALESTINE must be carefully borne in mind, since it was this which brought the Israelites into contact with their heathen neighbours, and in spite of the commands of the Law and the protests of the Prophets, made them fall so readily under the influence of foreign customs and beliefs. Palestine stands midway between the two great powers of the ancient world, the empires of ASSYRIA and BABYLONIA on the east, and the empire of EGYPT on the south-west. Whenever these powers came into collision with each other. Palestine was the chosen battle-field, while ARAM was the inevitable scene of the wars and conquests through which the two great empires of the East oscillated towards each other. The northern part of Palestine itself was occupied by the PHOENICIANS, of the same race and language as the Israelites, and therefore all the more likely to influence them for good or for evil. The Phoenicians were the most important relics left of the old Canaanite inhabitants of the country, and they were pre-eminently a commercial people, with their cities, Tyre, Sidon, Gebal or Byblos, &c., on the sea-coast, and their merchantmen trading to the furthest limits of the known world. Eastward of the Israelites came the kindred tribes of Moab, Ammon and Edom, as well as the Midianites, the Ishmaelites, the Kedarites, and other wandering and lawless Bedouins who occupied the desert of northern and central Arabia. Next to the Phoenicians, however, the Egyptians with their venerable civilisation exercised most influence over the Israelites. This was owing partly to their close proximity, partly to the fact that Palestine had once formed a portion of the Egyptian empire and been garrisoned by Egyptian soldiers, partly to the superior culture of the ancient monarchy of the Nile. It was only in the later period of Hebrew history that first Assyria and afterwards Babylonia and Persia took the place of Egypt. The Assyrians extended their conquests to the shores of the Mediterranean, and carried the Ten Tribes into captivity (B.c. 721); the Babylonians overthrew the Jewish kingdom and led the Jews into exile, and the Persians not only included Palestine in their dominions, but conquered Egypt as well. II. THE HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL RELATIONS OF EGYPT, ASSYRIA, BABYLONIA, PERSIA, ARAM, AND THE PHOENICIANS, WITH THE ISRAELITES. (a) EGYPT, the Biblical MIZRAIM, Mizraim being a dual form, meaning "the two Mazors" or "fortifications". These represented Lower and Upper Egypt, the latter being properly called PATHROS (Isa. xi. 11; Egyptian, Pe-to-res, "land of the south"). Lower Egypt was Mazor, as in Isa. xix. 6, xxxvii. 25, where it is mistranslated "defence" and "besieged places", and was so called from the line of fortification which defended the country from the attack of its Asiatic neighbours on the east. Egypt is the oldest kingdom of which we know, though scholars have not yet settled the date to be assigned to Menes the founder of it. Mariette Bey makes it B.C. 5004; Brugsch Bey, B.C. 4400; Lepsius, B.C. 3892; Bunsen, B.c. 3643; Pessl, B.C. 3917; Poole and Renwick, B.C. 2700. These various views show how uncertain is the whole subject of Egyptian chronology, and oblige us to reckon by suc cessive dynasties of kings and not by years. Of these dynasties, Manetho, the Egyptian historian who flourished in the third century B.C., numbers thirty dynasties from Menes to the second Persian conquest (B.C. 340), occupying 5528 years. But Egyptian scholars are not yet agreed as to whether or not some of these dynasties are to be regarded as contemporaneous. Egyptian history is usually divided into the three periods of the Old Empire, the Middle Empire, and the New Empire. (1) Under the Old Empire, i.e. dynasties i.-vi., MEMPHIS (Hos. ix. 6, elsewhere NOPH) was the capital. To this period belong the pyramids, and a higher perfection of art than was ever subsequently attained. After the fall of the Old Empire came a period of confusion, and probably foreign invasion, and then (2) under the xi. and xii. dynasties Egypt revived in the Middle Empire, with its capital at No, i.e. Thebes in the south. Another period of weakness followed, and after a time Egypt was invaded by swarms of wandering strangers from Asia, known as the Hyksos or shepherds, who established themselves in northern Egypt at ZOAN, or Tanis, and Avaris, while the native princes still continued to rule in the south. It would seem that the visits of ABRAHAM, JOSEPH, and JACOв to Egypt must be placed during the occupation of the country by the Hykso8 kings. The latter would have been of the same Semitic race as themselves, and therefore predisposed to give them a favourable reception. But at last "there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph". The Hyksos were driven out, and a native prince ruled from one end of Egypt to the other. (3) The New Empire was constituted by the xviii. and xix. dynasties, who restored Egypt to its early power and splendour, conquered Palestine, and overran Mesopotamia. The Israelites were associated with the Hyksos, whom the Egyptians naturally regarded with the most bitter hatred, and that series of oppressions was accordingly begun which ended with the EXODUS. Probably this took place in the time of the xix. dynasty, two of whose kings bore the name of Rameses, like one of the treasure cities built by the Israelites (RAAMSES, Ex. i. 11). A short time before, the PHILISTINES, Phoenician tribes settled in CAPHTOR or the Delta, had been established as a sort of Egyptian outpost in the five cities of southern Palestine; but Palestine itself had become independent of Egypt. The conquest of the Canaanites by the Israelites under JOSHUA was probably facilitated by the losses they had suffered in their struggles with Egypt. After the close of the xix. dynasty, Egypt once more fell into decay, and the high-priests of Amun at Thebes usurped the regal power.-The Egyptian princess married by SOLOMON was apparently the daughter of a subordinate king who reigned at Tanis towards the end of this period. But SHISHAK or Sheshonk L, founder of the xxii. dynasty, restored Egypt's power. Early in his reign he received JEROBOAM, Solomon's 'adversary' (1 K. xi. 40), and later conquered REHOBOAM and captured Jerusalem (1 K. xiv. 25, 26). An account of his conquests, with a list of the towns he had taken in both Judah and Israel,is inscribed on the outside of the S. wall of a temple at Karnak. Perhaps his successor, Osorkon I.,is the Biblical ZERAH : 2 Chr. xiv. 9. The xxv. dynasty was a foreign one, consisting of ETHIOPIANS EYRE AND SPOTTISWOODE, A.D. 42. 43. 44. 45. 40. 53. [51.J 51.

Returning to Jerusalem, he is accused by the Jewish converts, jealous for Moses' Law, of breaking it by intercourse with Gentiles; but his narrative convinces them that God had removed the barrier of special Jewish privilege, by accounting all mankind clean through Christ, and inviting all to enter Christ's fold by a saving repentance through the Holy Ghost. About the same time, Jewish converts from Cyprus and Cyrene, exiled from Jerusalem by the persecution following Stephen's death, begin to preach to other Gentiles (for 'Grecians read 'Greeks', v. 20) at Antioch in Syria, with great success. Barnabas, deputed from Jerusalem, recognises it as God's work. Fetching Saul from Tarsus (? independent work, Gal. 1. 21-24), they co-operate (1 year), and found the first Gentile Church (Christians), which shows faith and brotherhood by collecting for the believers in Judæa, against the famine foretold by Agabus. HEROD AGRIPPA I., a grandson of the Asmonean princess Mariamne, (made king of H. Philip's, Lysanias' and H. Antipas' tetrarchies by Caligula), who had received Judea and Samaria, i.e. the rest of the kingdom of his grandfather Herod the Great, from Claudius, courted popularity by lavish benevolence and splendour. A strict Jew, he begins a 2nd persecution by executing James (Zebedee's son), and imprisoning Peter, purposing his execution after the Passover (cp. Matt. 26. 4, 5). Peter is released by an angel on the Church's prayers, and conceals himself. Shortly after, Herod, elated by the submission of Tyre and Sidon, addresses the Cesareans, and, accepting the Jews' impious homage, is stricken with a mysterious disease (like Antiochus Epiphanes, 2 Macc. 9.5-9); and dies. The famine foretold by Agabus taking place in Claudius' 4th year, Barnabas and Saul visit Jerusalem (St. Paul's 2nd visit) with the collection of the Church in Antioch, and return thither with John Mark. [Paul's rapture, &c., Lewin.] Judea again passes under Procurators (C. Fadus, A.D. 45). St. Paul's 1st Missionary Journey (with Barnabas and Mark). Barnabas and Saul sent forth by revelation- Paul's rapture (2 Cor. 12. 2), followed by the mysterious malady, the thorn in the flesh ]-leave Antioch's seaport, SELEUCEIA, and preaching first to the Jews in their synagogues, traverse CYPRUS (E. to W.) from SALAMIS to PAPHOS. Here the pro-consul (deputy) Sergius Paulus is converted, notwithstanding the perverting influence of Barjesus, a Jewish false prophet, self-styled Elymas i.e. the wise man (Arabic) or Magus, who is struck blind. Saul is henceforth called Paul. They cross into PAMPHYLIA, and from PERGA Mark returns to Jerusalem. They pass the Taurus Range into the wild highlands of PISIDIA and LYCAONIA (cp. ch. 15. 38), even beyond the Roman pale. At ANTIOCH in PISIDIA the Gentiles eagerly believe; but the Jews' jealous opposition obliges Paul and Barnabas to declare their commission to the Gentiles. Expelled, they go to ICONIUM, and after a long stay escape to LYSTRA, where Paul heals a cripple, and the simple people mistake him and Barnabas for Mercurius and Jupiter in human form. (?Timothy, his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois, converted, 2 Tim. 1. 2, 5). Their Jewish persecutors from Antioch and Iconium excite the populace, and Paul is stoned, but revives. Paul and Barnabas depart for DERBE, and found a church there; then retrace their steps, encouraging and organising their new converts, to PERGA. Sailing from ATTALEIA to ANTIOCH, they report a door of faith opened to Gentiles. Disturbances occur (a) in Judæa-between the Jews, Romans, and Samaritans, (b) in Rome, -by the Jews' attacks on Christians? ('at Chrestus' instigation. Suetonius). Claudius makes the licentious and avaricious Felix (brother of his favourite Pallas, and husband of Herod Agrippa I.'s apostate daughter, Drusilla), procurator of Judæa, and expels the Jews from Rome. At Antioch, Pharisaic converts from Judæa revive the question settled 15 years before in Cornelius' case, and assert that, to be saved, Gentile converts must join the Jewish Church by circumcision. Paul and Barnabas opposing are deputed (by revelation), with Titus and others, to consult the Apostles and Church of Jerusalem upon the controversy. (St. Paul's 3rd visit, 14 years after his conversion, in which he first meets St. John, Gal. 2. 9. In private conference, Paul explains his teaching to the chief Apostles, Peter, James, and John. They approve, and recognise the distinct commissions of Peter and Paul, but urge collections for the poor at Jerusalem on the Gentile churches). The Apostles and elders meet to consider the question, and advised by James' the Lord's brother', decide that Gentile converts need not be circumcised, thus making the Church formally and avowedly universal (1). But the Gentile converts are warned against those usages forbidden in the Mosaic Law which tended to idolatry, cp. i Cor. 8. & 10 (and taught consideration for the Jews, who were everywhere reminded in their synagogues of their obligations to keep the Law), and agst. the immorality of the age (ep. 1 Cor. 5. 9). The inspired teachers (prophets') Judas Barsabas and Silas (the Silvanus of the Epistles), bearing letters to this effect, accompany Barnabas and Paul to Antioch and work there; Judas returns. Later, at Antioch, Peter and even Barnabas surrender this Christian liberty to Pharisaic emissaries from Jerusalem, whom Paul resists, openly rebuking Peter. Second Missionary Journey of St. Paul (with Silas and Timothy). Paul and Barnabas proposing to revisit the converts of their 1st journey disagree about taking Mark. Barnabas and Mark revisit CYPRUS: Paul and Silas, SYRIA and CILICIA. Passing through DERBE, Paul finds at LYSTRA Timothy, a convert in high repute, and desiring to satisfy the Jewish converts as to his scrupulous observance of Moses' Law, circumcises Timothy, because a Jew on the mother's side, before taking him as evangelist (2 Tim. 4. 5). They deliver the council's letters (ch. 15.23). After founding churches yet further N. in PHRYGIA and GALATIA, where the mixed and emotional people received him as an angel of God' (Paul is detained here by sickness), they pass through Mysia to ALEXANDRIA TROAS. Here Luke joins them (we', v. 10). The Holy Spirit which had forbidden him to preach in proconsular Asia (2) (i.e. Mysia, Caria, Lydia), or to enter Bithynia, summons Paul into Europe. After a rapid passage by the Id. of SAMOTHRACE to NEAPOLIS, Paul reaches PHILIPPI, a Roman colonia (3) in Macedonia, and becomes the guest of Lydia, a Thyatiran purple seller, a proselyte converted by his preaching. Paul casts an oracular spirit out of a slave-girl. Her owners accusing Paul and Silas of treasonable religious innovations, the magistrates scourge and imprison them. While praying and singing at night, they are set free during an earthquake, save and baptize the governor of the prison, and are eared for by him. Next day, after assert35-39. ing their Roman citizenship and demanding public reparation, they are invited to depart. Luke apparently remains in Philippi (until Acts 20. 6, e').

Passing to CORINTH (4), Paul lodges and works at tent-making with Aquila and Priscilla, (1) The earliest great controversy of the Church was, not whether Gentiles might be admitted at all, but whether they might be admitted without passing through the door' of Judaism. Hence the immense importance of this decision, and the 'joy-(2) Capital EPHESUS, on R.

THE MIRACLES AND PARABLES OF JESUS. MIRACLE, Lt. miraculum, i.e. a wonder-causing event, a marvel. Of the six Greek words used in the New Testament to describe the supernatural works of Christ on earth, the three most usual are applied also to those wrought by His Apostles, viz. (1) teras, A. V. wonder (always); (2) semeion, A.V. sign, miracle (esp. in St. John), &c.; (3) du namis, A. V. power, miracle (esp. in Acts and Epistles), &c. (1) Teras (i.e. wonder', portent', describes a miracle's startling effect, and is always accompanied by another of these words, esp. by semeion, to indicate the moral intention, the end and purpose of the wonder' (e.g. in A. V. wonders and signs'. Acts 2. 22). (2) Semeion, i.e. a sign', describes a miracle as ordained by God to be a mark whereby to identify the Messiah, an attestation of His teaching, an earnest of the blessings He brought, a specimen of God's methods for bringing these blessings home to man, as well as a type (or 'parable in action') of His spiritual gifts. (3) Dunamis, i.e. 'power' (so rendered in A. V., also, generally in plural, 'mighty works') describes a miracle as a new and higher force', or power of the world to come, (Heb.6. 5), entered upon and working in this world;-an "outcoming of the greatness (megaleia, A. V. ‘great things', Luke 1. 49, Acts 2. 11) of God's power and glory inherent in Christ, and lent to His witnesses and ambassadors Miracles are also described as (4) eudoxa, A. V. 'glorious things', Lk.13.17, &c., i.e. as manifestations of the glory of God, the Father and Son; (5) paradoxa (A.V. 'strange things'; cp. 'new thing', Num. 16. 30), i.e. as beyond human imagination, amazing (ep. Lk. 5. 26); and as (6) thaumasia A.V. wonderful' (Mt. 21. 15; cp. Mt. 9.8), i.e. astonishing, occurrences unprecedented in human experience (cp. Mt, 9. 33), and (like paradoxa) ascribable to God only.-Trench, Peculiar to the Gospel of St. Matthew. Common to SS.

The Jewish method of teaching by parables was apparently adopted by our Lord when the Jews had rejected His direct teaching (Mt. 13. 13); but also out of compassionate consideration for the infirmities of the listeners (cp. 2 Cor. 8. 12). Proposed as a spiritual riddle to call the spiritual perceptions into exercise, the Parable-either attracted, interested, provoked enquiry, and thus sowed seed in the memory for future development by Christ Himself or by the Holy Ghost (cp. John 14. 26);-or left the self-righteous and obdurate self-condemned to spiritual blindness (John 9. 39-41; 12. 48). Thus the parable sifted the audience, and found out the willing hearers and led them on'; like the Shechinah (Ex. 14. 20), it was light and guidance to God's children, but darkness and a hindrance to His opponents: Mark 4. 10-13, 33, 34; cp. John 3. 19; 7. 17; 8. 43. Christ's Parables illustrate the nature and principles of the Gospel Dispensation (the Mysteries, i.e. revealed secrets, of the Kingdom of Heaven"). They have been divided into 3 groups, according to the part of His Ministry in which they were delivered: viz.Illustrations from common facts of Nature. 2.

THE HE AUTHORISED VERSION compared with the Hebrew and Greek Texts, and carefully revised; arranged in Paragraphs and Sections; with Supplementary Notes; references to parallel and illustrative passages, Chronological Tables, and Maps. This edition of the Holy Scriptures has been many years in preparation; and the Revision has been executed by eminent Hebrew and Greek Scholars. Opinions of the Press. "The revisers of the edition before us, while correcting only what may be considered indisputable errors and inadequate renderings in our present English Bible', and giving in the New Testament also the more important emendations of the text, which have been adopted by the best editors of the Greek Testament', have entered on the more responsible course of incorporating these corrections and emendations in the text; but the reverence for God's word which is everywhere visible, and the true scholarship which appears both in the regard paid to the delicate characteristics, the original languages, and their proper expression in Saxon English, will recommend the edition to all who even go no farther than the first few chapters."Edinburgh Daily Review. "Where change has been manifestly needed, it has been applied, for the most part, in our judgment, with adequate skill and descretion." Saturday Review. "The editor states that it is not a complete or thorough revision, but a moderate one. As such, it is certainly an improvement upon the Authorised Version. It contains many good corrections, appropriate paragraph divisions, and useful marginal notes. The headings, too, of chapters and sections are much better than those found in ordinary editions of the Bible.-Echo. "The Revised English Bible' is a very welcome contribution towards the correct rendering of the sacred Scriptures. There is the least alteration that could satisfy a conscientious and enlightened veneration for Divine truth. But that is not little, and passages here and there which have long been a perplexity to all but scholars, or those who could command the results of scholarship, are here rendered clear by a more accurate translation of the originals, and in regard to not a few individual words, the confusion introduced into our Authorised Version by translating the same word differently in different passages, or by translating different words by the same English word, has been remedied."-Leeds Mercury. "An edition of the English Bible which must be pronounced, as a whole, the most trustworthy and serviceable that has ever yet been prepared."-Illustrated London News. "Hardly is it too much to say, that to ordinary readers the force and drift of chapter upon chapter of ancient prophecy will dawn for the first time after perusal of its renderings."-The Graphic. "The work is a very learned, though modest, attempt to bring our English Bible nearer to the sacred originals, and no page of it can be consulted without giving more or less satisfaction to the reader who is willing to be a learner."The Rock. "The grammatical niceties of the original are far more closely followed than in the Authorised Version. The rendering is much more exact, and at times a new com- į plexion is given to passages of the gravest moment, by a stricter adherence to the Hebrew or Greek."-Expositor.
