  • Heshbon (Modern Hesbdn) Is Located in Transj Ordan
    THE HISTORY OF HESHBON FROM LITERARY SOURCES * WERNER VYHMEISTER River Plate College, Puiggari, Entre Rios, Argentina Heshbon (modern Hesbdn) is located in Transjordan, about 20 miles east of the Jordan where it enters the Dead Sea. The remains of the old city are covered now by two hills, 2,930 and 2,954 feet above sea level respectively. According to the latest available statistics (from 1961), the village of Hesbdn has 718 inhabitants. Heshbon in OT Times Heshbon appears for the first time in the Biblical record as the capital city of Sihon, the Amorite king defeated by Moses. However, the region in which Heshbon was located is mentioned much earlier in the Bible. In Gn 14:5, Chedor- laomer and his confederates appear as smiting successively the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim (i.e., the plain of Kiria- thaim). Kiriathaim has been identified with el-Qerei ydt, about five miles northwest of Dhz'bdn. It appears together with Heshbon in Num 32:37 among the cities rebuilt by the This article is a condensation of a B.D. thesis covering the same subject, deposited in the James White Library of Andrews University. * "Heshbon," Encyclopaedia Biblica, eds.

    THE PLACE OF PROPHETIC INTERCESSION IN OLD TESTAMENT RELIGION GORDON R. CONNING Submitted to the Faculty of Theology of the University of Edinburgh in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1934 ;0 PREFACE The Place of Prophetic Intercession in Old Testament Religion was a subject which from the first promised the pleasure of a chal­ lenging investigation, but has since far exceeded this promise; for it has led me by an exceedingly interesting study into a new appreci­ ation and, I venture to say, understanding of Old Testament prophecy* The method followed was to examine the cases of prophetic intercession themselves and, without preconceptions as far as possible, to base con­ clusions upon these* The thesis has grown gradually along the lines of this method of case investigation, and its present form was deter­ mined upon only after all the studies had been made* This form is, in brief, to present in an introductory chapter, on the one hand, a brief survey of extra-biblical intercession and, on the other, the Old Testa­ ment background of prophetic intercession; to follow this with an in­ vestigation of the teaching on this subject in Israel prior to the ad­ vent of literary prophecy in the eighth century; then to treat thorough­ ly in three chapters the three canonical prophets - Amos, Jeremiah and Ezekiel whose writings furnish the most important and stimulating materi­ al for this subject; to follow this again with a chapter on the remain­ ing material on prophetic intercession, and one on the

  • The Cheyne-Black Encyclopædia Biblica, Vol. II
    THE CHEYNE-BLACK ENCYCLOPAEDIA BIBLICA, VOL. II.' Rebrew Lexicography.-The article Hebrew Language is W. R. Smith's article on the same subject in the Encyclopedia Britannica, revised and abridged by A. A. Bevan. The original article is well known as a concise and careful piece of work presenting the various theories as to the origin of the name Hebrew, the relation of Hebrew to the other Semitic languages, and the history of the development and decay of the language. The additions of the reviser are com- paratively unimportant, and increase the value of the article but little. One can but regret that more space was not granted to this important subject, and that an attempt was not made to present a full and fresh treatment of it. Most of the lexicographical work scattered through this volume is from the pen of Professor Cheyne himself. It furnishes fresh evidence of his great learning, versatility, and originality. The latter appears especially in his treatment of proper names, for many of which he offers new etymologies. Isaac is explained as a corruption of ahihalas, i. e., "the brother defends;" Jacob is a contraction and distortion of abi- cabod; Israel was originallyJizrah-el, i. e., "God shines forth," which was ' corrupted into both 5'Wt' and 5bS'T^, as well as into _. J. S.lfil is to be taken as a corruption of 'I7'i5b '1 (see article 1' Galeed); the name Jericho was originally 1f-tv^ ,2 which was also transformed into Q^~n' 'y, i. e., " the city of palm trees;" and Judas Iscariot was perhaps originally Judas Ierichotes, i.

    MISCELLANEOUS. 5OI to him now, not only on his own place, but to the poor of the surrounding country, who were unable to pay for medical service. His plantation was on the borders of the pine barrens of Mcintosh County, inhabited only by a shiftless class of 'Pine Knockers.' For twenty miles about, in pure charity, he visited these people even bringing their children to his own in their sickness ; and in chronic cases house, as the only hope of their recovery. In order to diminish their sense of de- pendence and to cultivate in them, if possible, a sense of self-respect he sometimes required of them in return some light work, as picking of cotton or gathering of corn. He was looked up to by these poor people as a being of another order from themselves. " It is easy to imagine the passionate love, the reverence, approaching to fear and even to worship, with which he inspired his children. The effect of such a life and such a character on young John is simply inestimable. To the day of his death John looked back on his father with the greatest love and reverence and upon his influence as the greatest of all influences in forming his character ; and, in- deed, of all the children John most resembled his father. "I have dwelt somewhat on the life and character of Louis Le Conte, not only because of its paramount influence on his children, especially John, but also because such a life and such a character ought not to go wholly unrecorded." Such was the father as described in Joseph Le Conte's own words, and such the environment of two of the most prominent and lovable figures in the history of American science.
