Dab’basheth (Heb. Dabbe’sheth, tv,B,Di, a camel’s hump, as in Isaiah 30:6, q. d. Camel- hump Hill; Sept. Dabasqe>, Alex. Dabasqai>, Vat. Baiqa>raba; Vulg. Debbaseth), a place on the boundary-line of the tribe of Zebulon, between Maralah and Jokneam (Joshua 19:11; see Keil, Comment. in loc.); apparently the modern Jebata, which seems likewise to correspond to one of the places named Gabatha (Euseb. Gabaa> and Gabaqa>), located, by Jerome (Onomast. s.v. Gabathon) near Diocaesarea, in the plain of Legio (Robinson, Researches, 3, 201, whose map places it east of Uknufis, apparently by an error; see Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 1-10). It was again visited by Dr. Robinson (Later Res. p. 113), but is not described by him (comp. Ritter, Erdkunde, 16:748). Knobel suggests (Jos. Erklart, p. 458) that the name in the Onomasticon may have arisen from a Hebrew epithet (t[ib]G, i.e. Gibeath, q. d. the hill of the plain), a view which its isolation from the camel ridge seems to confirm (Ritter, 16:700), although the modern village seems to be upon a very slight, if any eminence. Dab’erath (Heb. Daberath’, trib]*D [once, Joshua 19:12, with the art. had- Daberath’, trib]*Dhi; once, 1 Chronicles 6:72, Dobrath’, trib]D;], according to Furst a fem. form of rb,Do, pasture; Sept. in Joshua Dabra>q 3 and Dabraqa> v. r. Dabirw>q, in Chron. Ajmw>v v. r. Dabw>r; Vulg. Dabereth), a town in the tribe of Issachar (Joshua 21:28, where the A.V. has “Dabareh”), near the border of Zebulon (Joshua 19:12, where it is named next to Chisloth-tabor), and assigned to the Levites (1 Chronicles 6:72). It is probably the same with the village Dabira (Dabeira>), mentioned by Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v.) as lying near Matthew Tabor, in the region of Diocaesarea (Reland, Paloest. p. 737); and also the Dabaritta, repeatedly mentioned by Josephus (Dabari>ttwn kw>mh, War, 2:21, 3; Dabaritthnoi>, Life, 26; Daba>ritta v. r. Dara>bitta, Life, 62) as lying in the great plain on the confines of Galilee (Reland, Paloest. p. 737, too nicely objects that the border between Issachar and Zebulon would not be assigned to Galilee). In exact agreement with these notices there still exists, on the side of a ledge of rocks just at the base of Matthew Tabor, on the north-west, the village Deburieh, a small, poor, and filthy place, containing the bare walls of an old church, based upon massive foundations of a still older date. The situation, however, is beautiful, with the wooded heights of Tabor rising behind, and in front the plain of Esdraelon expanding like a sea of verdure (Robinson, Res. 3, 210; Maundrell, Early Trav. p. 479, Ritter, Erdk. 16:679; De Saulcy, Narrative, 1:75; Schwarz, Palest. p. 166,167). Tradition (Van de Velde, 2:374) incorrectly makes this the scene of the miracle on the lunatic child performed by our Lord after his descent from the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17:14).

Dach Simon a German Christian poet, born July 29, 1605, at Memel; became in 1633 sub-teacher of the cathedral school of Konigsberg, co-rector in 1636, professor of poetry in the University in 1639, and died April 16, 1659. He stands among the first poets of the so-called Konigsberg school. His productions were partly religious, partly social, and appeared under divers titles; they were collected and published by his widow. Some 150 of his religious pieces were published by H. Alberti, Arien, etc. (Konigsb. 1640- 50), and afterwards incorporated in the Konigsberg Hymnbook of 1690. See Gebauer, S.

D’Achery SEE ACHERY, D. Daco’bi (Dakoubi> v. r. Dakou>b, Vulg. Accuba), one of the heads of the families of “porters” that returned from Babylon (1 Esdras 5:28); the same with AKKUB SEE AKKUB (q.v. No. 2) of the Hebrews text (Ezra 2:42). Da Costa Isaac (a descendant of Uriel Acosta, q.v.), was born Jan. 14, 1798, at Amsterdam, where he also pursued his studies until 1817, when he went to Layden to devote his time to the study of law and belles-lettres. In 1822, after the death of his father, he abandoned Judaism and embraced Christianity, and became one of the most active opponents of the new rationalistic opinions. A circle of religiously-inclined persons gathered about him, and to these he expounded the Bible until after the Revolution of 1830, when he visited different cities of Holland and delivered a series of lectures. In 1839 he became a member of the Netherlands Institute, and renewed his efforts as a poet, while he still carried on a controversy with theologians of other schools and against all ecclesiastical innovations. He died April 28, 1860. Besides numerous poems and works in general literature, he wrote, Israel en de Volken (1849); Over de eenheid en overeenstimming de evangelien (1840, 2 vols.); Over de waarheid en wardij van het Oude Testament (1843); Paulus (1846); Beschoulw’ng over het evangelie van Lukas (1856); De apostel Johannes en zijne schriften. — Pierer, Universal-Lexikon, 19:831. Daddae’us (Loddai~ov v. r. Loldai~ov, Vulg. Loddoeus), the “captain of the treasury” among the exiles at Babylon (1 Esdras 8:46; in the preceding verse Anglicized Saddoeus); evidently a corruption (through the blending 5 with the preceding particle l[i) of the IDDO SEE IDDO (q.v.) of the Hebrew text (Ezra 8:17). Daemon in Greek dai>mwn, and its derivative daimo>nion, both rendered “devil” in the English version of the New Test.; in the original, however, they are carefully distinguished from the term dia>bolov. SEE DEVIL. These two words, dai>mwn and daimo>nion, are used as synonymous both by profane and sacred writers. The entmologies which the Greek authors themselves assign to them all point to some supposed characteristic of those intelligent beings to whom the words are applied. For example, Plato, in his Cratylus (i. 398, ed. Serran.), derives the word from dah>mwn, “knowing” (of which, indeed, the form dai>mwn is found in Archil. [B.C. 650]), in allusion to the superior intelligence and consequent efficiency ascribed to dsemons; Eusebius (Praep. Evang. 4:5) from deimai>nw, “to be terrified;” others, as Proclus (in Hesiod.), from dai>w, “to distribute,” because daemons were supposed to assign the lots or destinies of mankind (in which case it would be similar to Moi~ra). The subject is greatly encumbered with superstition. I. By heathen writers the terms in question are employed with considerable latitude. In Homer, where the gods are but supernatural men, dai>mion is used interchangeably with qeo>v (1l. 17:98, 99; comp. 104); hence any particular divinity, as Venus (11. in); afterwards in Hesiod (Op. 121), when the idea of the gods had become more exalted and less familiar, the dai>monev, are spoken of as intermediate beings (“minores diis et majores hominibus,” Liv. 8:20; Adam, Rom. Antiq. p. 287), the messengers of the gods to men. This latter usage of the word evidently prevailed afterwards as the correct one, although in poetry, and even in the vague language of philosophy, to< daimo>nion was sometimes used as equivalent to to< qei~on for any superhuman nature. Aristotle applies daimo>nion to the Divinity, Providence (Rhetor. 2:23). But Plato (Symp. p. 202, 203) fixes it distinctly in the more limited sense. Among them were numbered the spirits of good men, “made perfect” after death (Plato, Crat. p. 398, quotation from Hesiod). It was also believed that they became tutelary deities of individuals (to the purest form of which belief Socrates evidently referred in the doctrine of his (daimo>nion); and hence dai>mwn was frequently used in the sense of the “fate” or “destiny” of a man (as in the tragedians 6 constantly), thus recurring, it would seem, directly to its original derivation. 1. Daemons, in the theology of the Gentiles, are middle beings between gods and mortals. This is the judgment of Plato, which will be considered decisive: “Every daemon is a middle being between God and mortal.” He thus explains what he means by a middle being: “God is not approached immediately by man, but all the commerce and intercourse between gods and men are performed by the mediation of daemons.” He enters into further particulars: “Daemons are reporters and carriers from men to the gods, and again from the gods to men, of the supplications and prayers of the one, and of the injunctions and rewards of devotion from the other” (Plato, Sympos. 3, 202, 203, ed.

  • Resourcing Sustainable Church: a Time to Change - Together
    RESOURCING SUSTAINABLE CHURCH: A TIME TO CHANGE - TOGETHER Transforming lives in Greater Lincolnshire 1 Foreword from The Bishop of Lincoln Returning to Lincoln after almost two years’ absence gives me the opportunity to see and evaluate the progress that has been made to address the issues we face as a diocese. Many of the possibilities that are placed before you in this report were already under discussion in 2019. What this report, and the work that lies behind it, does is to put flesh on the bones. It gives us a diocese the opportunity to own up to and address the issues we face at this time. I am happy strongly to recommend this report. It comes with my full support and gratitude to those who have contributed so far. What it shows is that everything is possible if we trust in God and each other. Of course, this is only a first step in a process of development and change. Much as some of us, including me at times, might like to look back nostalgically to the past – the good news is that God is calling us into something new and exciting. What lies ahead will not be easy – as some hard decisions will need to be taken. But my advice is that there will never be a better opportunity to work together to uncover and build the Kingdom of God in Greater Lincolnshire. I urge the people of God in this diocese to join us on this journey. +Christopher Lincoln: Bishop of Lincoln 2 Introduction Resourcing Sustainable Church: A Time to Change - Together sets a vision for a transformed church.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.

  • Bishop's July 2020 Letter
    The Bishops’ Office July 2020 Dear school communities, While it is not possible to ask each of you how you are, please know that we have prayed for our school communities, both pupils and teachers during this unusual and hard time. Our prayers have been for those in a classroom and also at home. In the past few months we have all had some questions and concerns - it is important that we always share these with others. Thankfully, we have also had people to keep us safe, people to care for us. We have seen that care can happen in many ways. Our message to you is about this word. Care is a word with four letters, so it is a small word but we need to remember that it has a big effect on people and can leave them smiling. As each of us cares for others we can show God's love. At first in lockdown a sign of caring was a rainbow often in a house window or a cuddly toy. Now, we may be able to show we care to more people. That may happen in our bubble of people or with a wave and a smile or helping someone with something bigger. To care is something we can all do in small ways. No matter how small when we care we are showing something that is big. We are showing God's love for each of us. A good example of caring are your teachers and school staff. They have cared for you and others throughout the lockdown.

  • The Bishops' Office
    The Bishops’ Office 28 May 2021 Dear Colleagues, This letter comes with greetings for Trinity Sunday. As we leave the great series of seasons that began with Advent and enter Ordinary Time, this seems an opportune moment to clarify our hopes for the rest of 2021 and into 2022 with respect to Resourcing Sustainable Church (RSC). This is because our implementation of RSC has to be part of our ‘ordinary’ mission and ministry from now on. We wrote earlier in the month more generally about RSC. This letter is to focus on some specifics and comes with a link to the full RSC document and with a shorter introductory guide that might be helpful for your congregations. Diocesan Synod has commended the following Resourcing Sustainable Church processes: 1 Church Type self-reflection. Starting in June 2021 and through the summer until September, every church community is invited to reflect on its strengths, opportunities, concerns and weaknesses. Resources will be offered to help with this, but a basic initial framework can be found in the full RSC document beginning at page 26. This is a vocational conversation for each church, which will help every parish to take part in what happens next. The conversation/reflection can be led by the incumbent or by delegated officers/ministers such as church wardens. The full RSC report can be found at https://www.lincoln.anglican.org/links 2 Identifying and building partnerships. Beginning in September 2021 and (if necessary) lasting until autumn 2022, churches, benefices, deaneries and groupings of deaneries (Deanery Partnerships) will discuss how to identify and build patterns of collaboration.

    BOOK REVIEWS THE BIBLE'S FIRST HISTORY: FROM EDEN TO THE COURT OF DAVID WITH THE YAHWIST. By Robert B. Coote and David Robert Ord. Phila­ delphia: Fortress, 1989. Pp. χ + 308. $24.95. One of my friends in pastoral work strives to read four major theological books each year, and this year I will urge him to include this account of the Yahwist [J] history. Coote describes himself as a historian who is not content to fit historical evidence into a biblical picture; rather, he and Ord read the biblical literature in terms of historical data, so that "what is known to have occurred provides the framework that allows the Bible to be understood" (22). Their historical scenario is reminiscent of recent sociological exegesis, in which "early Israel" occupied the highlands of Palestine (12th to 10th centuries B.C.E.). When Egypt began to regain strength after a period of decline, these pastoralists in the highlands felt themselves jeopardized by Egyptian urban power (not by Canaanite city-states), so a Bedouin- based revolt is posited, composed of groups which formed the cadre of David's support around Hebron. David's world reflects this background, and J is a royal apologetic for his court, which needed social legitimation and a national identity. Form-critically, J resembles the story of David's rise (1 Sam 16:14—2 Sam 5:12), another apologetic document, to which the authors make numerous and intriguing references. So C. and O. date J in David's reign, rather than in the more common "united monarchy." Instead of evaluating their historical perspective, I will discuss their procedures and some theological implications.

  • St Francis. a History of the Newest Church in Cleethorpes
    ST FRANCIS. A HISTORY OF THE NEWEST CHURCH IN CLEETHORPES. The Beacon Hill Estate was built up gradually during the late 1940’s to the mid 1960’s and comprised of a mixture of semi-detached family houses, bungalows and flats, some privately owned and some owned by the council (now Shoreline). The inhabitants included many young families as well as elderly people. To cater for this new ever expanding estate the Revd Canon Richard Crookes at St Peter’s Church in Cleethorpes decided that a new church needed to be built to bring the word of God to the estate. The land for the church had been set aside when the estate was planned and had been given by Sidney Sussex College. Plans were passed in 1956 but had lapsed so in 1961 it was decided to build a dual purpose building which was sourced from a company in Wakefield called Lanner’s. The construction method meant it could be built in six months as the sections were produced at the factory and erected on site on a prepared foundation. The plan was to use the building as a church and hall until a “proper” church could be built on adjacent land at a later date. The fundraising for the new church was led energetically and memorably by the curate at St Peters at the time, the Revd Edward Harrison who had arrived in Cleethorpes in 1959 and, at a time of great recession was certainly not an easy task to undertake. Many can remember him at his happiest sitting on an upturned wooden box in the open streets of Grimsby and Cleethorpes, playing the accordion and entertaining children with his glove puppets while collection donations for the many charities he supported throughout his life.
