CABBON
- C>@ - a town in the low country of Judah. kjv@Joshua:15:40)
CABUL
- C>@ - One of the landmarks on the boundary of Asher, kjv@Joshua:19:27) now Kabul , 9 or 10 miles east of Accho . Name of the land given to Hiram by Solomon. (Kings:9:10-13)
CAESAR
- C>@ - always in the New Testament the Roman emperor, the sovereign of Judea. kjv@John:19:12 kjv@John:19:15 kjv@Acts:17:7)
CAESAREA
- C>@ - kjv@Acts:8:40 kjv@Acts:9:30 kjv@Acts:10:1 -24; 11:11; 12:19; 18:22; 21:8,16; 23:23,33; 25:1,4-6,13) was situated on the coast of Palestine, on the line of the great road from Tyre to Egypt, and about halfway between Joppa and Dora. The distance from Jerusalem was about 70 miles; Josephus states it in round numbers as 600 stadia. In Strabo’s time there was on this point of the coast merely a town called "Strato’s Tower," with a landing-place, whereas in the time of Tacitus Caesarea is spoken of as being the head of Judea. It was in this interval that the city was built by Herod the Great. It was the official residence of the Herodian kings, and of Festus, Felix and the other Roman procurators of Judea. Here also lived Philip the deacon and his four prophesying daughters. Caesarea continued to be a city of some importance even in the time of the Crusades, and the name still lingers on the site (Kaisariyeh), which is a complete desolation, many of the building-stones having been carried to other towns.
CAESAREA PHILIPPI
- C>@ - is mentioned only in the first two Gospels, kjv@Matthew:16:13; kjv@Mark:8:27) and in accounts of the same transactions. It was at the easternmost and most important of the two recognized sources of the Jordan, the other being at Tel-el
- Kadi . The spring rises from and the city was built on a limestone terrace in a valley at the base of Mount Hermon 20 miles north of the Sea of Galilee. It was enlarged by Herod Philip, and named after Caesar, with his own name added to distinguish it from Caesarea. Its present name is Banias , a village of some 50 houses, with many interesting ruins. Caesarea Philippi has no Old Testament history, though it has been not unreasonably identified with Baal-gad . It was visited by Christ shortly before his transfiguration, kjv@Matthew:16:13-28) and was the northern limit of his journeys. kjv@Mark:8:27)
CAGE
- C>@ - The term so rendered in kjv@Jeremiah:5:27) is more properly a trap in which decoy birds were placed. In kjv@Revelation:18:2) the (Greek term means a prison.
CAIAPHAS, OR CAIAPHAS
- C>@ - (depression), in full JOSEPH CAIAPHAS, high priest of the Jews under Tiberius. kjv@Matthew:26:3-57; kjv@John:11:49 kjv@John:18:13-14 kjv@John:18:24,28; kjv@Acts:4:6) The procurator Valerius Gratus appointed him to the dignity, He was son-in-law of Annas. ANNAS
CAIN
- C>@ - (possession). kjv@Genesis:4. He was the eldest son of Adam and Eve; he followed the business of agriculture. In a fit of jealousy, roused by the rejection of his own sacrifice and the acceptance of Abel’s, he committed the crime of murder, for which he was expelled from Eden, and led the life of an exile. He settled in the land of Nod, and built a city, which he named after his son Enoch. His descendants are enumerated together with the inventions for which they were remarkable. (B.C. 4000.)
CAIN
- C>@ - one of the cities in the low country of Judah, named with Zanoah and Gibeah. kjv@Joshua:15:57)
CAINAN
- C>@ - (possessor) Son of Enos, aged 70 years when he begat Mahalaleel his son. He lived 840 years afterwards, and died aged 910. kjv@Genesis:6:9-14) Son of Arphaxad, and father of Sala, according to kjv@Luke:3:36-37) and usually called the second Cainan. The is nowhere named in the Hebrew MSS. It seems certain that his name was introduced into the genealogies of the Greek Old Testament in order to bring them into harmony with the genealogy of Christ in St. Luke’s Gospel.
CALAH
- C>@ - (completion, old age), one of the most ancient cities of Assyria. kjv@Genesis:10:11) The site of Calah is probably market by the Nimrud ruins. If this be regarded as ascertained, Calah must be considered to have been at one time (about B.C. 930-720) the capital of the empire.
CALAMUS
- C>@ - REED
CALCOL
- C>@ - (sustenance), a man of Judah, son or descendant of Zerah. ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:6) Probably identical with CHALCOL.
CALDRON
- C>@ - a vessel for boiling flesh, for either ceremonial or domestic use. ( kjv@1Samuel:2:14; kjv@2Chronicles:35:13; kjv@Job:41:20; kjv@Micah:3:3)
CALEB
- C>@ - (capable). According to ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:9 kjv@1Chronicles:2:18-19,42,50) the son of Hezron the son of Pharez the son of Judah, and the father of Hur, and consequently grandfather of Caleb the spy. (B.C. about 1600.) Son of Jephunneh, one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to Canaan. kjv@Numbers:13:6) (B.C. 1490.) He and Oshea or Joshua the son of Nun were the only two of the whole number who encouraged the people to enter in boldly to the land and take possession of it. Fortyfive years afterwards Caleb came to Joshua and claimed possession of the land of the Anakim, Kirjath-arba or Hebron, and the neighboring hill country. kjv@Joshua:14. This was immediately granted to him, and the following chapter relates how he took possession of Hebron, driving out the three sons of Anak; and how he offered Achsah his daughter in marriage to whoever would take Kirjath-sepher, i.e. Debir; and how when Othniel, his younger brother, had performed the feat, he not only gave him his daughter to wife, but with her the upper and nether springs of water which she asked for. It is probable that Caleb was a foreigner by birth,
a proselyte, incorporated into the tribe of Judah.
CALF
- C>@ - The calf was held in high esteem by the Jews as food. ( kjv@1Samuel:28:24; kjv@Luke:15:23) The molten calf prepared by Aaron for the people to worship, kjv@Exodus:32:4) was probably a wooden figure laminated with gold, a process which is known to have existed in Egypt. AARON
CALVARY

See GOLGATHA
CAMEL
- C>@ - The species of camel which was in common use among the Jews and the heathen nations of Palestine was the Arabian or one-humped camel, Camelus arabicus . The dromedary is a swifter animal than the baggage-camel, and is used chiefly for riding purposes; it is merely a finer breed than the other. The Arabs call it the heirie . The speed, of the dromedary has been greatly exaggerated, the Arabs asserting that it is swifter than the horse. Eight or nine miles an hour is the utmost it is able to perform; this pace, however, it is able to keep up for hours together. The Arabian camel carries about 500 pounds. "The hump on the camel’s back is chiefly a store of fat, from which the animal draws as the wants of his system require; and the Arab is careful to see that the hump is in good condition before a long journey. Another interesting adaptation is the thick sole which protects the foot of the camel from the burning sand. The nostrils may be closed by valves against blasts of sand. Most interesting is the provision for drought made by providing the second stomach with great cells in which water is long retained. Sight and smell is exceedingly acute in the camel."
Johnson’s Encyc. It is clear from kjv@Genesis:12:16) that camels were early known to the Egyptians. The importance of the camel is shown by kjv@Genesis:24:64 kjv@Genesis:37:25; kjv@Judges:7:12; kjv@1Samuel:27:9; kjv@Kings:19:2; kjv@2Chronicles:14:15; kjv@Job:1:3; kjv@Jeremiah:49:29 kjv@Jeremiah:49:32) and many other texts. John the Baptist wore a garment made of camel hair, kjv@Matthew:3:4; kjv@Mark:1:6) the coarser hairs of the camel; and some have supposed that Elijah was clad in a dress of the same stuff.
CAMON
- C>@ - (full of grain), the place in which Jair the judge was buried. kjv@Judges:10:5)
CAMP
- C>@ - ENCAMPMENT
CAMPHIRE
- C>@ - There can be no doubt that "camphire" is the Lawsonia alba of botanists, the henna of Arabian naturalists. The henna plant grows in Egypt, Syria, Arabia and northern India. The flowers are white and grow in clusters, and are very fragrant. The whole shrub is from four to six feet high, (Solomon kjv@4:13)
CANA
- C>@ - (place of reeds) of Galilee, once Cana in Galilee, a village or town not far from Capernaum, memorable as the scene of Christ’s first miracle, kjv@John:2:1 kjv@John:2:11 kjv@John:4:46) as well as of a subsequent one, kjv@John:4:46 kjv@John:4:54) and also as the native place of the apostle Nathanael. kjv@John:21:2) The traditional site is at Kefr
- Kenna , a small village about 4 1/2 miles northwest of Nazareth. The rival site is a village situated farther north, about five miles north of Seffurieh (Sepphoris) and nine north of Nazareth.
CANAAN
- C>@ - (Ca’nan) (low, flat). The fourth son of Ham, kjv@Genesis:10:6; kjv@1Chronicles:1:8) the progenitor of the Phoenicians ZIDON, OR SIDON, and of the various nations who before the Israelite conquest people the seacoast of Palestine, and generally the while of the country westward of the Jordan. kjv@Genesis:10:13; kjv@1Chronicles:1:13) (B.C. 2347.) The name "Canaan" is sometimes employed for the country itself.
CANAAN, THE LAND OF
- C>@ - (lit. lowland), a name denoting the country west of the Jordan and the Dead Sea, and between those waters and the Mediterranean; given by God to Abraham’s posterity, the children of Israel. kjv@Exodus:6:4; kjv@Leviticus:25:38) PALESTINA AND PALESTINE
CANANAEAN

See CANAANITE, THE
CANAANITE, THE
- C>@ - the designation of the apostle Simon, otherwise known as "Simon Zelotes." It occurs in kjv@Matthew:10:4; kjv@Mark:3:18) and is derived from a Chaldee or Syriac word by which the Jewish sect or faction of the "Zealots" was designated
a turbulent and seditious sect, especially conspicuous at the siege of Jerusalem. They taught that all foreign rule over Jews was unscriptural, and opposed that rule in every way.
CANAANITES, THE
- C>@ - a word used in two senses: A tribe which inhabited a particular locality of the land west of the Jordan before the conquest; and The people who inhabited generally the whole of that country. In kjv@Genesis:10:18-20) the seats of the Canaanite tribe are given as on the seashore and in the Jordan valley; comp. kjv@Joshua:11:3) Applied as a general name to the non
- Israelite inhabitants of the land, as we have already seen was the case with "Canaan." Instances of this are, kjv@Genesis:12:6; kjv@Numbers:21:3) The Canaanites were descendants of Canaan. Their language was very similar to the Hebrew. The Canaanites were probably given to commerce; and thus the name became probably in later times an occasional synonym for a merchant.
CANDACE, OR CANDACE
- C>@ - (prince of servants), a queen of Ethiopia (Meroe), mentioned kjv@Acts:8:27) (A.D. 38.) The name was not a proper name of an individual, but that of a dynasty of Ethiopian queens.
CANDLESTICK
- C>@ - which Moses was commanded to make for the tabernacle, is described kjv@Exodus:25:31-37 kjv@Exodus:37:17-24) It was not strictly a "candlestick," as it held seven richly-adorned lamps. With its various appurtenances it required a talent of "pure gold;" and it was not moulded, but "of beaten work," and has been estimated to have been worth in our money over ,000. From the Arch of Titus, where the sculptured the spoils taken from Jerusalem, we learn that it consisted of a central stem, with six branches, three on each side. It was about five feet high.
See ARCH OF TITUS OF TITUS The candlestick was placed on the south side of the first apartment of the tabernacle, opposite the table of shewbread, kjv@Exodus:25:37) and was lighted every evening and dressed every morning. kjv@Exodus:27:20-21 kjv@Exodus:30:8) comp. kjv@1Samuel:3:2 Each lamp was supplied with cotton and about two wineglasses of the purest olive oil, which was sufficient to keep it burning during a long night. In Solomon’s temple, instead of or in addition to this candlestick there were ten golden candlesticks similarly embossed, five in the right and five on the left. (Kings:7:49; kjv@2Chronicles:4:7) They were taken to Babylon. kjv@Jeremiah:52:19) In the temple of Zerubbabel there was again a single candlestick. 1Macc kjv@1:21: kjv@4:49.

CANON OF SCRIPTURE, THE
- C>@ - may be generally described as the "collection of books which form the original and authoritative written rule of the faith and practice of the Christian Church," i.e. the Old and New Testaments. The word canon , in classical Greek, is properly a straight rod , "a rule" in the widest sense, and especially in the phrases "the rule of the Church," "the rule of faith," "the rule of truth," The first direct application of the term canon to the Scriptures seems to be in the verses of Amphilochius (cir. 380 A.D.), where the word indicates the rule by which the contents of the Bible must be determined, and thus secondarily an index of the constituent books. The uncanonical books were described simply as "those without" or "those uncanonized." The canonical books were also called "books of the testament," and Jerome styled the whole collection by the striking name of "the holy library," which happily expresses the unity and variety of the Bible. After the Maccabean persecution the history of the formation of the Canon is merged in the history of its contents. The Old Testament appears from that time as a whole. The complete Canon of the New Testament, as commonly received at present, was ratified at the third Council of Carthage (A.D. 397), and from that time was accepted throughout the Latin Church. Respecting the books of which the Canon is composed, see the article BIBLE. (The books of Scripture were not made canonical by act of any council, but the council gave its sanction to the results of long and careful investigations as to what books were really of divine authority and expressed the universally-accepted decisions of the church. The Old Testament Canon is ratified by the fact that the present Old Testament books were those accepted in the time of Christ and endorsed by him, and that of 275 quotations of the Old Testament in the New, no book out of the Canon is quoted from except perhaps the word of Enoch in Jude.

CANOPY
- C>@ - Judith 10:21; 13:9; 16:19. The canopy of Holofernes is the only one mentioned.
CANTICLES
- C>@ - (Song of Songs), entitled in the Authorized Version THE SONG OF SOLOMON. It was probably written by Solomon about B.C. 1012. It may be called a drama, as it contains the dramatic evolution of a simple love-story. Meaning.
The schools of interpretation may be divided into three: the mystical or typical, the allegorical, and the literal . The mystical interpretation owes its origin to the desire to find a literal basis of fact for the allegorical. This basis is either the marriage of Solomon with Pharoah’s daughter or his marriage with an Israelitish woman, the Shulamite. The allegorical. According to the Talmud the beloved is taken to be God; the loved one , or bride, is the congregation of Israel . In the Christian Church the Talmudical interpretation, imported by Origen, was all but universally received. The literal interpretation. According to the most generally-received interpretation of the modern literalists, the Song is intended to display the victory of humble and constant love over the temptations of wealth and royalty. Canonicity.
The book has been rejected from the Canon by some critics; but in no case has its rejection been defended on external grounds. It is found in the LXX. and in the translations of Aquila, Symmachus and Theodotion. It is contained in the catalog given in the Talmud,a nd in the catalogue of Melito; and in short we have the same evidence for its canonicity as that which is commonly adduced for the canonicity of any book of the Old Testament.

- C>@ - (village of Nahum) was on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. kjv@Matthew:4:13) comp. kjv@John:6:24 It was in the "land of Gennesaret," [ kjv@Matthew:14:34) comp. kjv@John:6:17 kjv@John:6:21-24 ] It was of sufficient size to be always called a "city," kjv@Matthew:9:1; kjv@Mark:1:33) had its own synagogue, in which our Lord frequently taught, kjv@Mark:1:21; kjv@Luke:4:33 kjv@Luke:4:38 kjv@John:6:59) and there was also a customs station, where the dues were gathered both by stationary and by itinerant officers. kjv@Matthew:9:9 kjv@Matthew:17:24; kjv@Mark:2:14; kjv@Luke:5:27) The only interest attaching to Capernaum is as the residence of our Lord and his apostles, the scene of so many miracles and "gracious words." It was when he returned thither that he is said to have been "in the house." kjv@Mark:2:1) The spots which lay claim to its site are, Kahn Minyeh , a mound of ruins which takes its name from an old khan hard by. This mound is situated close upon the seashore at the northwestern extremity of the plain (now El Ghuweir). Three miles north of Khan Minyeh is the other claimant, Tell Hum ,
ruins of walls and foundations covering a space of half a mile long by a quarter wide, on a point of the shore projecting into the lake and backed by a very gently-rising ground. It is impossible to locate it with certainty, but the probability is in favor of Tell Hum .
CAPHAR
- C>@ - one of the numerous words employed in the Bible to denote a village or collection of dwellings smaller than a city (Ir). Mr Stanley proposes to render it by "hamlet." In names of places it occurs in Chephar-he
- Ammonai, Chephirah, Caphar-salama. To us its chief interest arises from its forming a part of the name of Capernaum, i.e. Capharnahum.
CAPHTOR, CAPHTORIM
- C>@ - (a crown), thrice mentioned as the primitive seat of the Philistines, (2:23; kjv@Jeremiah:47:4; kjv@Amos:9:7) who are once called Caphtorim . (2:23) Supposed to be in Egypt, or near to it in Africa.
CAPPADOCIA, CAPPADOCIANS
- C>@ - (province of good horses), kjv@Acts:2:3; kjv@1Peter:1:1) the largest province in ancient Asia Minor. Cappadocia is an elevated table-land intersected by mountain chains. It seems always to have been deficient in wood, but it was a good grain country, and particularly famous for grazing. Its Roman metropolis was Caesarea. The native Cappadocians seem to have originally belonged to the Syrian stock.
CAPTAIN
- C>@ - As a purely military title, "captain" answers to sar in the Hebrew army and tribune in the Roman. The captain of the guard in kjv@Acts:28:16) was probably the prefectus pratorio . Katsin , occasionally rendered captain, applies Sometimes to a military, kjv@Joshua:10:24; kjv@Judges:11:6 kjv@Judges:11:11 kjv@Isaiah:22:3; kjv@Daniel:11:18) sometimes to a civil command, e.g. kjv@Isaiah:1:10 kjv@Isaiah:3:6) The captain of the temple, mentioned kjv@Luke:22:4; kjv@Acts:4:1 kjv@Acts:5:24) superintended the guard of priests and Levites who kept watch by night in the temple.
CAPTIVE
- C>@ - A prisoner of war. Such were usually treated with great cruelty by the heathen nations. They were kept for slaves, and often sold; but this was a modification of the ancient cruelty, and a substitute for putting them to death Although the treatment of captives by the Jews seems sometimes to be cruel, it was very much milder than that of the heathen, and was mitigated, as far as possible in the circumstances, by their civil code.
CAPTIVITIES OF THE JEWS
- C>@ - The present article is confined to the forcible deportation of the Jew; from their native land, and their forcible detention, under the Assyrian or Babylonian kings. Captives of Israel.
The kingdom of Israel was invaded by three or four successive kings of Assyria. Pul or Surdanapalus, according to Rawlinson, imposed a tribute (B.C. 771 or 712), Rawl.) upon Menahem. ( kjv@2Kings:15:19) and 1Chr 5:26 Tiglath-pileser carried away (B.C. 740) the trans
- Jordanic tribes, ( kjv@1Chronicles:5:26) and the inhabitants of Galilee, ( kjv@2Kings:15:29) comp. Isai 9:1 To Assyria. Shalmaneser twice invaded, ( kjv@2Kings:17:3-5) the kingdom which remained to Hoshea, took Samaria (B.C. 721) after a siege of three years, and carried Israel away into Assyria. This was the end of the kingdom of the ten tribes of Israel. Captivities of Judah .
Sennacherib (B.C. 713) is stated to have carried into Assyria 200,000 captives from the Jewish cities which he took. ( kjv@2Kings:18:13) Nebuchadnezzar, in the first half of his reign (B.C. 606-562), repeatedly invaded Judea, besieged Jerusalem, carried away the inhabitants to Babylon, and destroyed the temple. The 70 years of captivity predicted by Jeremiah, kjv@Jeremiah:25:12) are dated by Prideaux from B.C. 606. The captivity of Ezekiel dates from B.C. 598, when that prophet, like Mordecai the uncle of Esther kjv@Esther:2:6) accompanied Jehoiachin. The captives were treated not as slaves but as colonists. The Babylonian captivity was brought to a close by the decree, kjv@Ezra:1:2) of Cyrus (B.C. 536), and the return of a portion of the nation under Sheshbazzar or Zerubbabel (B.C. 535), Ezra (B.C. 458) and Nehemiah (B.C. 445). Those who were left in Assyria, kjv@Esther:8:9-11) and kept up their national distinctions, were known as The Dispersion. kjv@John:7:35 kjv@John:1:1; kjv@James:1:1) The lost tribes.
Many attempts have been made to discover the ten tribes existing as a distinct community; but though history bears no witness of the present distinct existence, it enables us to track the footsteps of the departing race in four directions after the time of the Captivity. Some returned and mixed with the Jews. kjv@Luke:2:36; kjv@Philemon:3:5) etc. Some were left in Samaria, mingled with the Samaritans, kjv@Ezra:6:21; kjv@John:4:12) and became bitter enemies of the Jews. Many remained in Assyria, and were recognized as an integral part of the Dispersion; see kjv@Acts:2:1 kjv@Acts:26:7) Most, probably, apostatized in Assyria, adopted the usages and idolatry of the nations among whom they were planted, and became wholly swallowed up in them.
CARBUNCLE
- C>@ - This word represents two Hebrew words. The first may he a general term to denote any bright,sparkling gem , kjv@Isaiah:54:12) the second, kjv@Exodus:28:17 kjv@Exodus:39:10; kjv@Ezekiel:28:13) is supposed to be and smaragdus or emerald.

- C>@ - (severe), the seventh of the seven "chamberlains," i.e. eunuchs, of King Ahasuerus. kjv@Esther:1:10) (B.C. 483.).
CARCHEMISH
- C>@ - (fortress of Chemosh) occupied nearly the site of the later Mabug or Hierapolis. It seems to have commanded the ordinary passage of the Euphrates at Bir or Birekjik . Carchemish appears to have been taken by Pharoah Necho shortly after the battle of Megiddo (cir. B.C. 608), and retaken by Nebuchadnezzar after a battle three years later, B.C. 605. kjv@Jeremiah:46:2)

- C>@ - the southern part of the region which int he New Testament is called ASIA, and the southwestern part of the peninsula of Asia Minor. kjv@Acts:20:15 kjv@Acts:27:7)
CARMEL
- C>@ - (fruitful place or park). A mountain which forms one of the most striking and characteristic features of the country of Palestine. It is a noble ridge, the only headland of lower and central Palestine, and forms its southern boundary, running out with a bold bluff promontory, nearly 600 feet high, almost into the very waves of the Mediterranean, then extending southeast for a little more than twelve miles, when it terminates suddenly in a bluff somewhat corresponding to its western end. In form Carmel is a tolerably continuous ridge, its highest point,a bout four miles from the eastern end, being 1740 feet above the sea. That which has made the name of Carmel most familiar to the modern world is its intimate connection with the history of the two great prophets of Israel, Elijah and Elisha. ( kjv@2Kings:2:25 kjv@2Kings:4:25; kjv@Kings:18:20-42) It is now commonly called Mar Elyas; Kurmel being occasionally, but only seldom, hear. A town in the mountainous country of Judah, kjv@Joshua:15:55) familiar to us as the residence of Nabal. ( kjv@1Samuel:25:2 kjv@1Samuel:25:5-7,40)

CARSHENA
- C>@ - (illustrious), one of the seven princes of Persia and Media. kjv@Esther:1:14)
CART
- C>@ - kjv@Genesis:45:19 kjv@Genesis:45:27 kjv@Numbers:7:3 kjv@Numbers:7:7-8) a vehicle drawn by cattle, (2 Samuel kjv@6:6) to be distinguished from the chariot drawn by horses. Carts and wagons were either open or covered, kjv@Numbers:7:3) and were used for conveyance of person, kjv@Genesis:45:19) burdens, ( kjv@1Samuel:6:7-8) or produce. kjv@Amos:2:13) The only cart used in western Asia has two wheels of solid wood.
CARVING
- C>@ - The arts of carving and engraving were much in request in the construction of both the tabernacle and the temple. kjv@Exodus:31:5 kjv@Exodus:35:33; kjv@Kings:6:18,35; kjv@Psalms:74:6) as well as in the ornamentation of the priestly dresses. kjv@Exodus:28:9-36; kjv@2Chronicles:2:7 kjv@2Chronicles:2:14 kjv@Zechariah:3:9)
CASIPHIA
- C>@ - (silvery, white), a place of uncertain site on the road between Babylon and Jerusalem. kjv@Ezra:8:17)
CASLUHIM

CASSIA
- C>@ - Exodus:30;24; kjv@Ezekiel:27:19) The cassia bark of commerce is yielded by various kinds of Cinnamomum , which grow in different parts of India. The Hebrew word in kjv@Psalms:45:8) is generally supposed to be another term for cassia.
CASTLE
- C>@ - FENCED CITIES CITIES
CASTOR AND POLLUX
- C>@ - kjv@Acts:28:11) the twin sons of Jupiter and Leda, were regarded as the tutelary divinities of sailors; hence their image was often used as a figure-head for ships. They appeared in heaven as the constellation Gemini . In art they were sometimes represented simply as stars hovering over a ship.
CATERPILLAR
- C>@ - The representative in the Authorized Version of the Hebrew word chasil and yelek . Chasil occurs in (Kings:8:37; kjv@2Chronicles:6:28; kjv@Psalms:78:46; kjv@Isaiah:33:4; kjv@Joel:1:4) and seems to be applied to a locust, perhaps in its larva state. Yelek. LOCUST.
CATTLE
- C>@ - BULL, BULLOCK.
CAUDA
- C>@ - kjv@Acts:27:16) The form given in the Revised Version to Clauda , an island south of Crete. It bears a closer relation to the modern name Gaudonesi of the Greek, the Gauda of P. Mela. (Clauda .
ED.)
CAUL
- C>@ - a sort of ornamental head-dress, kjv@Isaiah:3:18) with a net for its base. The name is derived from the caul, the membranous bag which encloses the heart
the pericardium.
ED.
CAVE
- C>@ - The most remarkable caves noticed in Scripture are, that in which Lot dwelt after the destruction of Sodom, kjv@Genesis:19:30) the cave of Machpelah, kjv@Genesis:23:17) cave of Makkedah, kjv@Joshua:10:10) cave of Adullam, ( kjv@1Samuel:22:1) cave od Engedi, ( kjv@1Samuel:24:3) Obadiah’s cave, (Kings:18:4) Elijah’s cave in Horeb, (Kings:19:9) the rock sepulchres of Lazarus and of our Lord. kjv@Matthew:27:60; kjv@John:11:38) Caves were used for temporary dwelling-places and for tombs.
easton:
Cab @ hollow (R.V., "kab"), occurs only in kjv@2Kings:6:25; a dry measure, the sixth part of a seah, and the eighteenth part of an ephah, equal to about two English quarts.
Cabins @ only in kjv@Jeremiah:37:16 (R.V., "cells"), arched vaults or recesses off a passage or room; cells for the closer confinement of prisoners.
Cabul @ how little! as nothing.
(1.) A town on the eastern border of Asher kjv@Joshua:19:27), probably one of the towns given by Solomon to Hiram; the modern Kabul, some 8 miles east of Accho, on the very borders of Galilee.
(2.) A district in the north-west of Galilee, near to Tyre, containing twenty cities given to Hiram by Solomon as a reward for various services rendered to him in building the temple (kjvKings:9:13), and as payment of the six score talents of gold he had borrowed from him. Hiram gave the cities this name because he was not pleased with the gift, the name signifying "good for nothing." Hiram seems afterwards to have restored these cities to Solomon ( kjv@2Chronicals:8:2).
Caesar @ the title assumed by the Roman emperors after Julius Caesar. In the New Testament this title is given to various emperors as sovereigns of Judaea without their accompanying distinctive proper names kjv@John:19:15; kjv@Acts:17:7). The Jews paid tribute to Caesar kjv@Matthew:22:17), and all Roman citizens had the right of appeal to him kjv@Acts:25:11). The Caesars referred to in the New Testament are Augustus kjv@Luke:2:1), Tiberius (3:1; 20:22), Claudius kjv@Acts:11:28), and Nero kjv@Acts:25:8; kjv@Philippians:4:22).
Caesara Philippi @ a city on the northeast of the marshy plain of el
- Huleh, 120 miles north of Jerusalem, and 20 miles north of the Sea of Galilee, at the "upper source" of the Jordan, and near the base of Mount Hermon. It is mentioned in kjv@Matthew:16:13 and kjv@Mark:8:27 as the northern limit of our Lord's public ministry. According to some its original name was Baal
- Gad kjv@Joshua:11:17), or Baal
- Hermon kjv@Judges:3:3; kjv@1Chronicles:5:23), when it was a Canaanite sanctuary of Baal. It was afterwards called Panium or Paneas, from a deep cavern full of water near the town. This name was given to the cavern by the Greeks of the Macedonian kingdom of Antioch because of its likeness to the grottos of Greece, which were always associated with the worship of their god Pan. Its modern name is Banias. Here Herod built a temple, which he dedicated to Augustus Caesar. This town was afterwards enlarged and embellished by Herod Philip, the tetrarch of Trachonitis, of whose territory it formed a part, and was called by him Caesarea Philippi, partly after his own name, and partly after that of the emperor Tiberius Caesar. It is thus distinguished from the Caesarea of Palestine. (
See JORDAN.)
Caesarea @ (Palestinae), a city on the shore of the Mediterranean, on the great road from Tyre to Egypt, about 70 miles northwest of Jerusalem, at the northern extremity of the plain of Sharon. It was built by Herod the Great (B.C. 10), who named it after Caesar Augustus, hence called Caesarea Sebaste (Gr. Sebastos = "Augustus"), on the site of an old town called "Strato's Tower." It was the capital of the Roman province of Judaea, the seat of the governors or procurators, and the headquarters of the Roman troops. It was the great Gentile city of Palestine, with a spacious artificial harbour. It was adorned with many buildings of great splendour, after the manner of the Roman cities of the West. Here Cornelius the centurion was converted through the instrumentality of Peter kjv@Acts:10:1-24), and thus for the first time the door of faith was opened to the Gentiles. Philip the evangelist resided here with his four daughters (21:8). From this place Saul sailed for his native Tarsus when forced to flee from Jerusalem (9:30), and here he landed when returning from his second missionary journey (18:22). He remained as a prisoner here for two years before his voyage to Rome kjv@Acts:24:27 kjv@Acts:25:1 kjv@Acts:25:4, 6, 13). Here on a "set day," when games were celebrated in the theatre in honour of the emperor Claudius, Herod Agrippa I. appeared among the people in great pomp, and in the midst of the idolatrous homage paid to him was suddenly smitten by an angel, and carried out a dying man. He was "eaten of worms" (12:19-23), thus perishing by the same loathsome disease as his granfather, Herod the Great. It still retains its ancient name Kaiseriyeh, but is now desolate. "The present inhabitants of the ruins are snakes, scorpions, lizards, wild boars, and jackals." It is described as the most desolate city of all Palestine.
Cage @ (Heb. kelub', kjv@Jeremiah:5:27, marg. "coop;" rendered "basket" in kjv@Amos:8:1), a basket of wicker-work in which birds were placed after being caught. In kjv@Revelation:18:2 it is the rendering of the Greek phulake, properly a prison or place of confinement.
Caiaphas @ the Jewish high priest (A.D. 27-36) at the beginning of our Lord's public ministry, in the reign of Tiberius kjv@Luke:3:2), and also at the time of his condemnation and crucifixion kjv@Matthew:26:3-57; kjv@John:11:49 kjv@John:18:13-14). He held this office during the whole of Pilate's administration. His wife was the daughter of Annas, who had formerly been high priest, and was probably the vicar or deputy (Heb. sagan) of Caiaphas. He was of the sect of the Sadducees kjv@Acts:5:17), and was a member of the council when he gave his opinion that Jesus should be put to death "for the people, and that the whole nation perish not" kjv@John:11:50). In these words he unconsciously uttered a prophecy. "Like Saul, he was a prophet in spite of himself." Caiaphas had no power to inflict the punishment of death, and therefore Jesus was sent to Pilate, the Roman governor, that he might duly pronounce the sentence against him kjv@Matthew:27:2; kjv@John:18:28). At a later period his hostility to the gospel is still manifest kjv@Acts:4:6). (
See ANNAS.)
Cain @ a possession; a spear.
(1.) The first-born son of Adam and Eve Genesis:4). He became a tiller of the ground, as his brother Abel followed the pursuits of pastoral life. He was "a sullen, self-willed, haughty, vindictive man; wanting the religious element in his character, and defiant even in his attitude towards God." It came to pass "in process of time" (marg. "at the end of days"), i.e., probably on the Sabbath, that the two brothers presented their offerings to the Lord. Abel's offering was of the "firstlings of his flock and of the fat," while Cain's was "of the fruit of the ground." Abel's sacrifice was "more excellent" kjv@Hebrews:11:4) than Cain's, and was accepted by God. On this account Cain was "very wroth," and cherished feelings of murderous hatred against his brother, and was at length guilty of the desperate outrage of putting him to death ( kjv@1John:3:12). For this crime he was expelled from Eden, and henceforth led the life of an exile, bearing upon him some mark which God had set upon him in answer to his own cry for mercy, so that thereby he might be protected from the wrath of his fellow-men; or it may be that God only gave him some sign to assure him that he would not be slain kjv@Genesis:4:15). Doomed to be a wanderer and a fugitive in the earth, he went forth into the "land of Nod", i.e., the land of "exile", which is said to have been in the "east of Eden," and there he built a city, the first we read of, and called it after his son's name, Enoch. His descendants are enumerated to the sixth generation. They gradually degenerated in their moral and spiritual condition till they became wholly corrupt before God. This corruption prevailed, and at length the Deluge was sent by God to prevent the final triumph of evil. (
See ABEL.)
(2.) A town of the Kenites, a branch of the Midianites kjv@Joshua:15:57), on the east edge of the mountain above Engedi; probably the "nest in a rock" mentioned by Balaam kjv@Numbers:24:21). It is identified with the modern Yekin, 3 miles south-east of Hebron.
Cainan @ possession; smith.
(1.) The fourth antediluvian patriarch, the eldest son of Enos. He was 70 years old at the birth of his eldest son Mahalaleel, after which he lived 840 years kjv@Genesis:5:9-14), and was 910 years old when he died. He is also called Kenan ( kjv@1Chronicles:1:2).
(2.) The son of Arphaxad kjv@Luke:3:36). He is nowhere named in the Old Testament. He is usually called the "second Cainan."
Cake @ Cakes made of wheat or barley were offered in the temple. They were salted, but unleavened kjv@Exodus:29:2; kjv@Leviticus:2:4). In idolatrous worship thin cakes or wafers were offered "to the queen of heaven" kjv@Jeremiah:7:18 kjv@Jeremiah:44:19). Pancakes are described in kjv@2Samuel:13:8-9. Cakes mingled with oil and baked in the oven are mentioned in kjv@Leviticus:2:4, and "wafers unleavened anointed with oil," in kjv@Exodus:29:2; kjv@Leviticus:8:26; kjv@1Chronicles:23:29. "Cracknels," a kind of crisp cakes, were among the things Jeroboam directed his wife to take with her when she went to consult Ahijah the prophet at Shiloh (kjvKings:14:3). Such hard cakes were carried by the Gibeonites when they came to Joshua (9:5,12). They described their bread as "mouldy;" but the Hebrew word nikuddim, here used, ought rather to be rendered "hard as biscuit." It is rendered "cracknels" in kjvKings:14:3. The ordinary bread, when kept for a few days, became dry and excessively hard. The Gibeonites pointed to this hardness of their bread as an evidence that they had come a long journey. We read also of honey-cakes kjv@Exodus:16:31), "cakes of figs" ( kjv@1Samuel:25:18), "cake" as denoting a whole piece of bread (kjvKings:17:12), and "a round cake of barley bread" kjv@Judges:7:13). In Leviticus:2 is a list of the different kinds of bread and cakes which were fit for offerings.
Calah @ one of the most ancient cities of Assyria. "Out of that land he [i.e., Nimrod] went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth
- Ir, and Calah, and Resen" kjv@Genesis:10:11, R.V.). Its site is now marked probably by the Nimrud ruins on the left bank of the Tigris. These cover an area of about 1,000 acres, and are second only in size and importance to the mass of ruins opposite Mosul. This city was at one time the capital of the empire, and was the residence of Sardanapalus and his successors down to the time of Sargon, who built a new capital, the modern Khorsabad. It has been conjectured that these four cities mentioned in kjv@Genesis:10:11 were afterwards all united into one and called Nineveh (q.v.).
Calamus @ the Latin for cane, Hebrew Kaneh, mentioned kjv@Exodus:30:23) as one of the ingredients in the holy anointing oil, one of the sweet scents (Cant. 4:14), and among the articles sold in the markets of Tyre kjv@Ezekiel:27:19). The word designates an Oriental plant called the "sweet flag," the Acorus calamus of Linnaeus. It is elsewhere called "sweet cane" kjv@Isaiah:43:24; kjv@Jeremiah:6:20). It has an aromatic smell, and when its knotted stalk is cut and dried and reduced to powder, it forms an ingredient in the most precious perfumes. It was not a native of Palestine, but was imported from Arabia Felix or from India. It was probably that which is now known in India by the name of "lemon grass" or "ginger grass," the Andropogon schoenanthus. (
See CANE.)
Calcol @ ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:6), sustenance, the same probably as Chalcol (kjvKings:4:31), one of the four sages whom Solomon excelled in wisdom; for "he was wiser than all men."
Caleb @ a dog.
(1.) One of the three sons of Hezron of the tribe of Judah. He is also called Chelubai ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:9). His descendants are enumerated (18-20, 42-49).
(2.) A "son of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah" ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:50). Some would read the whole passage thus: "These [i.e., the list in ver. 42-49] were the sons of Caleb. The sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah, were Shobal, etc." Thus Hur would be the name of the son and not the father of Caleb (ver. 19).
(3.) The son of Jephunneh kjv@Numbers:13:6 kjv@Numbers:32:12; kjv@Joshua:14:6 kjv@Joshua:14:14). He was one of those whom Moses sent to search the land in the second year after the Exodus. He was one of the family chiefs of the tribe of Judah. He and Joshua the son of Nun were the only two of the whole number who encouraged the people to go up and possess the land, and they alone were spared when a plague broke out in which the other ten spies perished kjv@Numbers:13; 14). All the people that had been numbered, from twenty years old and upward, perished in the wilderness except these two. The last notice we have of Caleb is when (being then eighty-five years of age) he came to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, after the people had gained possession of the land, and reminded him of the promise Moses had made to him, by virtue of which he claimed a certain portion of the land of Kirjath-arba as his inheritance kjv@Joshua:14:6-15 kjv@Joshua:15:13-15 kjv@Joshua:21:10 -12; kjv@1Samuel:25:2-3 kjv@1Samuel:30:14). He is called a "Kenezite" in kjv@Joshua:14:6 kjv@Joshua:14:14. This may simply mean "son of Kenez" kjv@Numbers:32:12). Some, however, read "Jephunneh, the son of Kenez," who was a descendant of Hezron, the son of Pharez, a grandson of Judah ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:5). This Caleb may possibly be identical with
(2).
(4.) Caleb gave his name apparently to a part of the south country ( kjv@1Samuel:30:14) of Judah, the district between Hebron and Carmel, which had been assigned to him. When he gave up the city of Hebron to the priests as a city of refuge, he retained possession of the surrounding country kjv@Joshua:21:11-12; comp. kjv@1Samuel:25:3).
Calf @ Calves were commonly made use of in sacrifices, and are therefore frequently mentioned in Scripture. The "fatted calf" was regarded as the choicest of animal food; it was frequently also offered as a special sacrifice ( kjv@1Samuel:28:24; kjv@Amos:6:4; kjv@Luke:15:23). The words used in kjv@Jeremiah:34:18-19, "cut the calf in twain," allude to the custom of dividing a sacrifice into two parts, between which the parties ratifying a covenant passed kjv@Genesis:15:9-10, 17, 18). The sacrifice of the lips, i.e., priase, is called "the calves of our lips" kjv@Hosea:14:2, R.V., "as bullocks the offering of our lips." Comp. kjv@Hebrews:13:15; kjv@Psalms:116:7; kjv@Jeremiah:33:11). The golden calf which Aaron made kjv@Exodus:32:4) was probably a copy of the god Moloch rather than of the god Apis, the sacred ox or calf of Egypt. The Jews showed all through their history a tendency toward the Babylonian and Canaanitish idolatry rather than toward that of Egypt. Ages after this, Jeroboam, king of Israel, set up two idol calves, one at Dan, and the other at Bethel, that he might thus prevent the ten tribes from resorting to Jerusalem for worship (kjvKings:12:28). These calves continued to be a snare to the people till the time of their captivity. The calf at Dan was carried away in the reign of Pekah by Tiglath-pileser, and that at Bethel ten years later, in the reign of Hoshea, by Shalmaneser ( kjv@2Kings:15:29 kjv@2Kings:17:33). This sin of Jeroboam is almost always mentioned along with his name ( kjv@2Kings:15:28 etc.).
Calkers @ workmen skilled in stopping the seams of the deck or sides of vessels. The inhabitants of Gebel were employed in such work on Tyrian vessels kjv@Ezekiel:27:9 kjv@Ezekiel:27:27 marg., "strengtheners" or "stoppers of chinks").
Call @
(1.) To cry for help, hence to pray kjv@Genesis:4:26). Thus men are said to "call upon the name of the Lord" kjv@Acts:2:21 kjv@Acts:7:59 kjv@Acts:9:14 ; kjv@Romans:10:12; kjv@1Corinthians:1:2).
(2.) God calls with respect to men when he designates them to some special office kjv@Exodus:31:2; kjv@Isaiah:22:20; kjv@Acts:13:2), and when he invites them to accept his offered grace kjv@Matthew:9:13 kjv@Matthew:11:28 kjv@Matthew:22:4 ). In the message of the gospel his call is addressed to all men, to Jews and Gentiles alike kjv@Matthew:28:19; kjv@Mark:16:15; kjv@Romans:9:24-25). But this universal call is not inseparably connected with salvation, although it leaves all to whom it comes inexcusable if they reject it kjv@John:3:14-19; kjv@Matthew:22:14). An effectual call is something more than the outward message of the Word of God to men. It is internal, and is the result of the enlightening and sanctifying influence of the Holy Spirit kjv@John:16:14; kjv@Acts:26:18; kjv@John:6:44), effectually drawing men to Christ, and disposing and enabling them to receive the truth kjv@John:6:45; kjv@Acts:16:14; kjv@Ephesians:1:17).
Calling @ a profession, or as we usually say, a vocation ( kjv@1Corinthians:7:20). The "hope of your calling" in kjv@Ephesians:4:4 is the hope resulting from your being called into the kingdom of God.
Calneh @ fort, one of the four cities founded by Nimrod kjv@Genesis:10:10). It is the modern Niffer, a lofty mound of earth and rubbish situated in the marshes on the left, i.e., the east, bank of the Euphrates, but 30 miles distant from its present course, and about 60 miles south-south-east from Babylon. It is mentioned as one of the towns with which Tyre carried on trade. It was finally taken and probably destroyed by one of the Assyrian kings kjv@Amos:6:2). It is called Calno kjv@Isaiah:10:9) and Canneh kjv@Ezekiel:27:23).
Calvary @ only in kjv@Luke:23:33, the Latin name Calvaria, which was used as a translation of the Greek word Kranion, by which the Hebrew word Gulgoleth was interpreted, "the place of a skull." It probably took this name from its shape, being a hillock or low, rounded, bare elevation somewhat in the form of a human skull. It is nowhere in Scripture called a "hill." The crucifixion of our Lord took place outside the city walls kjv@Hebrews:13:11-13) and near the public thoroughfare. "This thing was not done in a corner." (
See GOLGOTHA.)
Camel @ from the Hebrew gamal, "to repay" or "requite," as the camel does the care of its master. There are two distinct species of camels, having, however, the common characteristics of being "ruminants without horns, without muzzle, with nostrils forming oblique slits, the upper lip divided and separately movable and extensile, the soles of the feet horny, with two toes covered by claws, the limbs long, the abdomen drawn up, while the neck, long and slender, is bent up and down, the reverse of that of a horse, which is arched."
(1.) The Bactrian camel is distinguished by two humps. It is a native of the high table-lands of Central Asia.
(2.) The Arabian camel or dromedary, from the Greek dromos, "a runner" kjv@Isaiah:60:6; kjv@Jeremiah:2:23), has but one hump, and is a native of Western Asia or Africa. The camel was early used both for riding and as a beast of burden kjv@Genesis:24:64 kjv@Genesis:37:25), and in war ( kjv@1Samuel:30:17; kjv@Isaiah:21:7). Mention is made of the camel among the cattle given by Pharaoh to Abraham kjv@Genesis:12:16). Its flesh was not to be eaten, as it was ranked among unclean animals kjv@Leviticus:11:4; kjv@Deuteronomy:14:7). Abraham's servant rode on a camel when he went to fetch a wife for Isaac kjv@Genesis:24:10-11). Jacob had camels as a portion of his wealth (30:43), as Abraham also had (24:35). He sent a present of thirty milch camels to his brother Esau (32:15). It appears to have been little in use among the Jews after the conquest. It is, however, mentioned in the history of David ( kjv@1Chronicles:27:30), and after the Exile kjv@Ezra:2:67; kjv@Nehemiah:7:69). Camels were much in use among other nations in the East. The queen of Sheba came with a caravan of camels when she came to see the wisdom of Solomon (kjvKings:10:2; kjv@2Chronicals:9:1). Benhadad of Damascus also sent a present to Elisha, "forty camels' burden" ( kjv@2Kings:8:9). To show the difficulty in the way of a rich man's entering into the kingdom, our Lord uses the proverbial expression that it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle kjv@Matthew:19:24). To strain at (rather, out) a gnat and swallow a camel was also a proverbial expression kjv@Matthew:23:24), used with reference to those who were careful to avoid small faults, and yet did not hesitate to commit the greatest sins. The Jews carefully filtered their wine before drinking it, for fear of swallowing along with it some insect forbidden in the law as unclean, and yet they omitted openly the "weightier matters" of the law. The raiment worn by John the Baptist was made of camel's hair kjv@Matthew:3:4; kjv@Mark:1:6), by which he was distinguished from those who resided in royal palaces and wore soft raiment. This was also the case with Elijah ( kjv@2Kings:1:8), who is called "a hairy man," from his wearing such raiment. "This is one of the most admirable materials for clothing; it keeps out the heat, cold, and rain." The "sackcloth" so often alluded to ( kjv@2Kings:1:8; kjv@Isaiah:15:3; kjv@Zechariah:13:4, etc.) was probably made of camel's hair.
Camon @ full of stalks, a place kjv@Judges:10:5) where Jair was buried. It has usually been supposed to have been a city of Gilead, on the east of Jordan. It is probably, however, the modern Tell-el
- Kaimun, on the southern slopes of Carmel, the Jokneam of Carmel kjv@Joshua:12:22; kjvKings:4:12), since it is not at all unlikely that after he became judge, Jair might find it more convenient to live on the west side of Jordan; and that he was buried where he had lived.
Camp @ During their journeys across the wilderness, the twelve tribes formed encampments at the different places where they halted kjv@Exodus:16:13; kjv@Numbers:2:3). The diagram here given shows the position of the different tribes and the form of the encampment during the wanderings, according to kjv@Numbers:1:53 kjv@Numbers:2:2-31 kjv@Numbers:3:29 ,35, 38; 10:13-28. The area of the camp would be in all about 3 square miles. After the Hebrews entered Palestine, the camps then spoken of were exclusively warlike kjv@Joshua:11:5-7; kjv@Judges:5:19-21 kjv@Judges:7:1; kjv@1Samuel:29:1 kjv@1Samuel:30:9, etc.).
Camphire @ (Heb. copher), mentioned in Cant. 1:14 (R.V., "henna-flowers"); 4:13 (R.V., "henna"), is the al-henna of the Arabs, a native of Egypt, producing clusters of small white and yellow odoriferous flowers, whence is made the Oleum Cyprineum. From its leaves is made the peculiar auburn dye with which Eastern women stain their nails and the palms of their hands. It is found only at Engedi, on the shore of the Dead Sea. It is known to botanists by the name Lawsonia alba or inermis, a kind of privet, which grows 6 or 8 feet high. The margin of the Authorized Version of the passages above referred to has "or cypress," not with reference to the conifer so called, but to the circumstance that one of the most highly appreciated species of this plant grew in the island of Cyprus.
Cana @ reedy, a town of Galilee, near Capernaum. Here our Lord wrought his first miracle, the turning of water into wine kjv@John:2:1-11 kjv@John:4:46). It is also mentioned as the birth-place of Nathanael (21:2). It is not mentioned in the Old Testament. It has been identified with the modern Kana el
- Jelil, also called Khurbet Kana, a place 8 or 9 miles north of Nazareth. Others have identified it with Kefr Kenna, which lies on the direct road to the Sea of Galilee, about 5 miles north-east of Nazareth, and 12 in a direct course from Tiberias. It is called "Cana of Galilee," to distinguish it from Cana of Asher kjv@Joshua:19:28).
Canaan @
(1.) The fourth son of Ham kjv@Genesis:10:6). His descendants were under a curse in consequence of the transgression of his father (9:22-27). His eldest son, Zidon, was the father of the Sidonians and Phoenicians. He had eleven sons, who were the founders of as many tribes (10:15-18).
(2.) The country which derived its name from the preceding. The name as first used by the Phoenicians denoted only the maritime plain on which Sidon was built. But in the time of Moses and Joshua it denoted the whole country to the west of the Jordan and the Dead Sea kjv@Deuteronomy:11:30). In kjv@Joshua:5:12 the LXX. read, "land of the Phoenicians," instead of "land of Canaan." The name signifies "the lowlands," as distinguished from the land of Gilead on the east of Jordan, which was a mountainous district. The extent and boundaries of Canaan are fully set forth in different parts of Scripture kjv@Genesis:10:19 kjv@Genesis:17:8; kjv@Numbers:13:29 kjv@Numbers:34:8). (
See CANAANITES, PALESTINE.)
Canaan, the language of @ mentioned in kjv@Isaiah:19:18, denotes the language spoken by the Jews resident in Palestine. The language of the Canaanites and of the Hebrews was substantially the same. This is seen from the fragments of the Phoenician language which still survive, which show the closest analogy to the Hebrew. Yet the subject of the language of the "Canaanites" is very obscure. The cuneiform writing of Babylon, as well as the Babylonian language, was taught in the Canaanitish schools, and the clay tablets of Babylonian literature were stored in the Canaanitish libraries. Even the Babylonian divinities were borrowed by the Canaanites.
Canaanite @ a name given to the apostle Simon kjv@Matthew:10:4; kjv@Mark:3:18). The word here does not, however, mean a descendant of Canaan, but is a translation, or rather almost a transliteration, of the Syriac word Kanenyeh (R.V. rendered "Cananaen"), which designates the Jewish sect of the Zealots. Hence he is called elsewhere kjv@Luke:6:15) "Simon Zelotes;" i.e., Simon of the sect of the Zealots. (
See SIMON.)
Canaanites @ the descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham. Migrating from their original home, they seem to have reached the Persian Gulf, and to have there sojourned for some time. They thence "spread to the west, across the mountain chain of Lebanon to the very edge of the Mediterranean Sea, occupying all the land which later became Palestine, also to the north-west as far as the mountain chain of Taurus. This group was very numerous, and broken up into a great many peoples, as we can judge from the list of nations Genesis:10), the 'sons of Canaan.'" Six different tribes are mentioned in kjv@Exodus:3:8 kjv@Exodus:3:17 kjv@Exodus:23:23 kjv@Exodus:33:2 ; 34:11. In kjv@Exodus:13:5 the "Perizzites" are omitted. The "Girgashites" are mentioned in addition to the foregoing in kjv@Deuteronomy:7:1; kjv@Joshua:3:10. The "Canaanites," as distinguished from the Amalekites, the Anakim, and the Rephaim, were "dwellers in the lowlands" kjv@Numbers:13:29), the great plains and valleys, the richest and most important parts of Palestine. Tyre and Sidon, their famous cities, were the centres of great commercial activity; and hence the name "Canaanite" came to signify a "trader" or "merchant" kjv@Job:41:6; kjv@Proverbs:31:24, lit. "Canaanites;" comp. kjv@Zephaniah:1:11; kjv@Ezekiel:17:4). The name "Canaanite" is also sometimes used to designate the non
- Israelite inhabitants of the land in general kjv@Genesis:12:6; kjv@Numbers:21:3; kjv@Judges:1:10). The Israelites, when they were led to the Promised Land, were commanded utterly to destroy the descendants of Canaan then possessing it kjv@Exodus:23:23; kjv@Numbers:33:52-53; kjv@Deuteronomy:20:16-17). This was to be done "by little and little," lest the beasts of the field should increase kjv@Exodus:23:29; kjv@Deuteronomy:7:22-23). The history of these wars of conquest is given in the Book of Joshua. The extermination of these tribes, however, was never fully carried out. Jerusalem was not taken till the time of David ( kjv@2Samuel:5:6-7). In the days of Solomon bond-service was exacted from the fragments of the tribes still remaining in the land (kjvKings:9:20-21). Even after the return from captivity survivors of five of the Canaanitish tribes were still found in the land. In the Tell-el
- Amarna tablets Canaan is found under the forms of Kinakhna and Kinakhkhi. Under the name of Kanana the Canaanites appear on Egyptian monuments, wearing a coat of mail and helmet, and distinguished by the use of spear and javelin and the battle-axe. They were called Phoenicians by the Greeks and Poeni by the Romans. By race the Canaanites were Semitic. They were famous as merchants and seamen, as well as for their artistic skill. The chief object of their worship was the sun-god, who was addressed by the general name of Baal, "lord." Each locality had its special Baal, and the various local Baals were summed up under the name of Baalim, "lords."
Candace @ the queen of the Ethiopians whose "eunuch" or chamberlain was converted to Christianity by the instrumentality of Philip the evangelist kjv@Acts:8:27). The country which she ruled was called by the Greeks Meroe, in Upper Nubia. It was long the centre of commercial intercourse between Africa and the south of Asia, and hence became famous for its wealth kjv@Isaiah:45:14). It is somewhat singular that female sovereignty seems to have prevailed in Ethiopia, the name Candace (compare "Pharaoh," "Ptolemy," "Caesar") being a title common to several successive queens. It is probable that Judaism had taken root in Ethiopia at this time, and hence the visit of the queen's treasurer to Jerusalem to keep the feast. There is a tradition that Candace was herself converted to Christianity by her treasurer on his return, and that he became the apostle of Christianity in that whole region, carrying it also into Abyssinia. It is said that he also preached the gospel in Arabia Felix and in Ceylon, where he suffered martyrdom. (
See PHILIP.)
Candle @ Heb. ner, kjv@Job:18:6 kjv@Job:29:3; kjv@Psalms:18:28; kjv@Proverbs:24:20, in all which places the Revised Version and margin of Authorized Version have "lamp," by which the word is elsewhere frequently rendered. The Hebrew word denotes properly any kind of candle or lamp or torch. It is used as a figure of conscience kjv@Proverbs:20:27), of a Christian example kjv@Matthew:5:14-15), and of prosperity kjv@Job:21:17; kjv@Proverbs:13:9).
Candlestick @ the lamp-stand, "candelabrum," which Moses was commanded to make for the tabernacle, according to the pattern shown him. Its form is described in kjv@Exodus:25:31-40 kjv@Exodus:37:17-24, and may be seen represented on the Arch of Titus at Rome. It was among the spoils taken by the Romans from the temple of Jerusalem (A.D. 70). It was made of fine gold, and with the utensils belonging to it was a talent in weight. The tabernacle was a tent without windows, and thus artificial light was needed. This was supplied by the candlestick, which, however, served also as a symbol of the church or people of God, who are "the light of the world." The light which "symbolizes the knowledge of God is not the sun or any natural light, but an artificial light supplied with a specially prepared oil; for the knowledge of God is in truth not natural nor common to all men, but furnished over and above nature." This candlestick was placed on the south side of the Holy Place, opposite the table of shewbread kjv@Exodus:27:21 kjv@Exodus:30:7-8; kjv@Leviticus:24:3; kjv@1Samuel:3:3). It was lighted every evening, and was extinguished in the morning. In the morning the priests trimmed the seven lamps, borne by the seven branches, with golden snuffers, carrying away the ashes in golden dishes kjv@Exodus:25:38), and supplying the lamps at the same time with fresh oil. What ultimately became of the candlestick is unknown. In Solomon's temple there were ten separate candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right and five on the left of the Holy Place (kjvKings:7:49; kjv@2Chronicals:4:7). Their structure is not mentioned. They were carried away to Babylon kjv@Jeremiah:52:19). In the temple erected after the Exile there was again but one candlestick, and like the first, with seven branches. It was this which was afterwards carried away by Titus to Rome, where it was deposited in the Temple of Peace. When Genseric plundered Rome, he is said to have carried it to Carthage (A.D. 455). It was recaptured by Belisarius (A.D. 533), and carried to Constantinople and thence to Jerusalem, where it finally disappeared.
Cane @ a tall sedgy plant with a hollow stem, growing in moist places. In kjv@Isaiah:43:24; kjv@Jeremiah:6:20, the Hebrew word kaneh is thus rendered, giving its name to the plant. It is rendered "reed" in kjvKings:14:15; kjv@Job:40:21; kjv@Isaiah:19:6 kjv@Isaiah:35:7. In kjv@Psalms:68:30 the expression "company of spearmen" is in the margin and the Revised Version "beasts of the reeds," referring probably to the crocodile or the hippopotamus as a symbol of Egypt. In kjv@2Kings:18:21; kjv@Isaiah:36:6; kjv@Ezekiel:29:6-7, the reference is to the weak, fragile nature of the reed. (
See CALAMUS.)
Canker @ a gangrene or mortification which gradually spreads over the whole body ( kjv@2Timothy:2:17). In kjv@James:5:3 "cankered" means "rusted" (R.V.) or tarnished.
Cankerworm @ (Heb. yelek), "the licking locust," which licks up the grass of the field; probably the locust at a certain stage of its growth, just as it emerges from the caterpillar state kjv@Joel:1:4 kjv@Joel:2:25). The word is rendered "caterpillar" in kjv@Psalms:105:34; kjv@Jeremiah:51:14 kjv@Jeremiah:51:17 (but R.V. "canker-worm"). "It spoileth and fleeth away" kjv@Nahum:3:16), or as some read the passage, "The cankerworm putteth off [i.e., the envelope of its wings], and fleeth away."
Canneh @ Mentioned only in kjv@Ezekiel:27:23. (
See CALNEH.)
Canon @ This word is derived from a Hebrew and Greek word denoting a reed or cane. Hence it means something straight, or something to keep straight; and hence also a rule, or something ruled or measured. It came to be applied to the Scriptures, to denote that they contained the authoritative rule of faith and practice, the standard of doctrine and duty. A book is said to be of canonical authority when it has a right to take a place with the other books which contain a revelation of the Divine will. Such a right does not arise from any ecclesiastical authority, but from the evidence of the inspired authorship of the book. The canonical (i.e., the inspired) books of the Old and New Testaments, are a complete rule, and the only rule, of faith and practice. They contain the whole supernatural revelation of God to men. The New Testament Canon was formed gradually under divine guidance. The different books as they were written came into the possession of the Christian associations which began to be formed soon after the day of Pentecost; and thus slowly the canon increased till all the books were gathered together into one collection containing the whole of the twenty-seven New Testament inspired books. Historical evidence shows that from about the middle of the second century this New Testament collection was substantially such as we now possess. Each book contained in it is proved to have, on its own ground, a right to its place; and thus the whole is of divine authority. The Old Testament Canon is witnessed to by the New Testament writers. Their evidence is conclusive. The quotations in the New from the Old are very numerous, and the references are much more numerous. These quotations and references by our Lord and the apostles most clearly imply the existence at that time of a well-known and publicly acknowledged collection of Hebrew writings under the designation of "The Scriptures;" "The Law and the Prophets and the Psalms;" "Moses and the Prophets," etc. The appeals to these books, moreover, show that they were regarded as of divine authority, finally deciding all questions of which they treat; and that the whole collection so recognized consisted only of the thirty-nine books which we now posses. Thus they endorse as genuine and authentic the canon of the Jewish Scriptures. The Septuagint Version (q.v.) also contained every book we now have in the Old Testament Scriptures. As to the time at which the Old Testament canon was closed, there are many considerations which point to that of Ezra and Nehemiah, immediately after the return from Babylonian exile. (
See BIBLE , EZRA, QUOTATIONS.)
Capernaum @ Nahum's town, a Galilean city frequently mentioned in the history of our Lord. It is not mentioned in the Old Testament. After our Lord's expulsion from Nazareth kjv@Matthew:4:13-16; kjv@Luke:4:16-31), Capernaum became his "own city." It was the scene of many acts and incidents of his life kjv@Matthew:8:5 kjv@Matthew:8:14, 15; kjv@9:2-6, 10-17; 15:1-20; kjv@Mark:1:32-34, etc.). The impenitence and unbelief of its inhabitants after the many evidences our Lord gave among them of the truth of his mission, brought down upon them a heavy denunciation of judgement kjv@Matthew:11:23). It stood on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. The "land of Gennesaret," near, if not in, which it was situated, was one of the most prosperous and crowded districts of Palestine. This city lay on the great highway from Damascus to Acco and Tyre. It has been identified with Tell Hum, about two miles south-west of where the Jordan flows into the lake. Here are extensive ruins of walls and foundations, and also the remains of what must have been a beautiful synagogue, which it is conjectured may have been the one built by the centurion kjv@Luke:7:5), in which our Lord frequently taught kjv@John:6:59; kjv@Mark:1:21; kjv@Luke:4:33). Others have conjectured that the ruins of the city are to be found at Khan Minyeh, some three miles further to the south on the shore of the lake. "If Tell Hum be Capernaum, the remains spoken of are without doubt the ruins of the synagogue built by the Roman centurion, and one of the most sacred places on earth. It was in this building that our Lord gave the well-known discourse in kjv@John:6; and it was not without a certain strange feeling that on turning over a large block we found the pot of manna engraved on its face, and remembered the words, 'I am that bread of life: your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.'", (The Recovery of Jerusalem.)
Caphtor @ a chaplet, the original seat of the Philistines kjv@Deuteronomy:2:23; kjv@Jeremiah:47:4; kjv@Amos:9:7). The name is found written in hieroglyphics in the temple of Kom Ombos in Upper Egypt. But the exact situation of Caphtor is unknown, though it is supposed to be Crete, since the Philistines seem to be meant by the "Cherethites" in kjv@1Samuel:30:14 (see also kjv@2Samuel:8:18). It may, however, have been a part of Egypt, the Caphtur in the north Delta, since the Caphtorim were of the same race as the Mizraite people kjv@Genesis:10:14; kjv@1Chronicles:1:12).
Cappadocia @ the easternmost and the largest province of Asia Minor. Christianity very early penetrated into this country ( kjv@1Peter:1:1). On the day of Pentecost there were Cappadocians at Jerusalem kjv@Acts:2:9).
Captain @
(1.) Heb. sar ( kjv@1Samuel:22:2; kjv@2Samuel:23:19). Rendered "chief," kjv@Genesis:40:2 kjv@Genesis:41:9; rendered also "prince," kjv@Daniel:1:7; "ruler," kjv@Judges:9:30; "governor,' kjvKings:22:26. This same Hebrew word denotes a military captain kjv@Exodus:18:21; kjv@2Kings:1:9; kjv@Deuteronomy:1:15; kjv@1Samuel:18:13, etc.), the "captain of the body-guard" kjv@Genesis:37:36 kjv@Genesis:39:1 kjv@Genesis:41:10 ; kjv@Jeremiah:40:1), or, as the word may be rendered, "chief of the executioners" (marg.). The officers of the king's body-guard frequently acted as executioners. Nebuzar-adan kjv@Jeremiah:39:13) and Arioch kjv@Daniel:2:14) held this office in Babylon. The "captain of the guard" mentioned in kjv@Acts:28:16 was the Praetorian prefect, the commander of the Praetorian troops.
(2.) Another word (Heb. katsin) so translated denotes sometimes a military kjv@Joshua:10:24; kjv@Judges:11:6 kjv@Judges:11:11 kjv@Isaiah:22:3 "rulers;" kjv@Daniel:11:18) and sometimes a civil command, a judge, magistrate, Arab. kady, kjv@Isaiah:1:10 kjv@Isaiah:3:6; kjv@Micah:3:1 kjv@Micah:3:9).
(3.) It is also the rendering of a Hebrew word (shalish) meaning "a third man," or "one of three." The LXX. render in plural by tristatai; i.e., "soldiers fighting from chariots," so called because each war-chariot contained three men, one of whom acted as charioteer while the other two fought kjv@Exodus:14:7 kjv@Exodus:15:4; kjvKings:9:22; comp. kjv@2Kings:9:25). This word is used also to denote the king's body-guard ( kjv@2Kings:10:25; kjv@1Chronicles:12:18; kjv@2Chronicals:11:11) or aides-de-camp.
(4.) The "captain of the temple" mentioned in kjv@Acts:4:1 and 5:24 was not a military officer, but superintendent of the guard of priests and Levites who kept watch in the temple by night. (Comp. "the ruler of the house of God," kjv@1Chronicles:9:11; kjv@2Chronicals:31:13; kjv@Nehemiah:11:11.)
(5.) The Captain of our salvation is a name given to our Lord kjv@Hebrews:2:10), because he is the author and source of our salvation, the head of his people, whom he is conducting to glory. The "captain of the Lord's host" kjv@Joshua:5:14-15) is the name given to that mysterious person who manifested himself to Abraham kjv@Genesis:12:7), and to Moses in the bush kjv@Exodus:3:2 kjv@Exodus:3:6, etc.) the Angel of the covenant. (
See ANGEL.)
Captive @ one taken in war. Captives were often treated with great cruelty and indignity (kjvKings:20:32; kjv@Joshua:10:24; kjv@Judges:1:7; kjv@2Samuel:4:12; kjv@Judges:8:7; kjv@2Samuel:12:31; kjv@1Chronicles:20:3). When a city was taken by assault, all the men were slain, and the women and children carried away captive and sold as slaves kjv@Isaiah:20; 47:3; kjv@2Chronicals:28:9-15; kjv@Psalms:44:12; kjv@Joel:3:3), and exposed to the most cruel treatment kjv@Nahum:3:10; kjv@Zechariah:14:2; kjv@Esther:3:13; kjv@2Kings:8:12; kjv@Isaiah:13:16-18). Captives were sometimes carried away into foreign countries, as was the case with the Jews kjv@Jeremiah:20:5 kjv@Jeremiah:39:9-10 kjv@Jeremiah:40:7 ).
Captivity @
(1.) Of Israel. The kingdom of the ten tribes was successively invaded by several Assyrian kings. Pul (q.v.) imposed a tribute on Menahem of a thousand talents of silver ( kjv@2Kings:15:19-20; kjv@1Chronicles:5:26) (B.C. 762), and Tiglath-pileser, in the days of Pekah (B.C. 738), carried away the trans
- Jordanic tribes and the inhabitants of Galilee into Assyria ( kjv@2Kings:15:29; kjv@Isaiah:9:1). Subsequently Shalmaneser invaded Israel and laid siege to Samaria, the capital of the kingdom. During the siege he died, and was succeeded by Sargon, who took the city, and transported the great mass of the people into Assyria (B.C. 721), placing them in Halah and in Habor, and in the cities of the Medes ( kjv@2Kings:17:3-5). Samaria was never again inhabited by the Israelites. The families thus removed were carried to distant cities, many of them not far from the Caspian Sea, and their place was supplied by colonists from Babylon and Cuthah, etc. ( kjv@2Kings:17:24). Thus terminated the kingdom of the ten tribes, after a separate duration of two hundred and fifty-five years (B.C. 975-721). Many speculations have been indulged in with reference to these ten tribes. But we believe that all, except the number that probably allied themselves with Judah and shared in their restoration under Cyrus, are finally lost. "Like the dew on the mountain, Like the foam on the river, Like the bubble on the fountain, They are gone, and for ever."
(2.) Of Judah. In the third year of Jehoiachim, the eighteenth king of Judah (B.C. 605), Nebuchadnezzar having overcome the Egyptians at Carchemish, advanced to Jerusalem with a great army. After a brief siege he took that city, and carried away the vessels of the sanctuary to Babylon, and dedicated them in the Temple of Belus ( kjv@2Kings:24:1; kjv@2Chronicals:36:6-7; kjv@Daniel:1:1-2). He also carried away the treasures of the king, whom he made his vassal. At this time, from which is dated the "seventy years" of captivity kjv@Jeremiah:25; Daniel:9:1-2), Daniel and his companions were carried to Babylon, there to be brought up at the court and trained in all the learning of the Chaldeans. After this, in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, a great national fast was appointed kjv@Jeremiah:36:9), during which the king, to show his defiance, cut up the leaves of the book of Jeremiah's prophecies as they were read to him in his winter palace, and threw them into the fire. In the same spirit he rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar ( kjv@2Kings:24:1), who again a second time (B.C. 598) marched against Jerusalem, and put Jehoiachim to death, placing his son Jehoiachin on the throne in his stead. But Jehoiachin's counsellors displeasing Nebuchadnezzar, he again a third time turned his army against Jerusalem, and carried away to Babylon a second detachment of Jews as captives, to the number of 10,000 ( kjv@2Kings:24:13; kjv@Jeremiah:24:1; kjv@2Chronicals:36:10), among whom were the king, with his mother and all his princes and officers, also Ezekiel, who with many of his companions were settled on the banks of the river Chebar (q.v.). He also carried away all the remaining treasures of the temple and the palace, and the golden vessels of the sanctuary. Mattaniah, the uncle of Jehoiachin, was now made king over what remained of the kingdom of Judah, under the name of Zedekiah ( kjv@2Kings:24:17; kjv@2Chronicals:36:10). After a troubled reign of eleven years his kingdom came to an end ( kjv@2Chronicals:36:11). Nebuchadnezzar, with a powerful army, besieged Jerusalem, and Zedekiah became a prisoner in Babylon. His eyes were put out, and he was kept in close confinement till his death ( kjv@2Kings:25:7). The city was spoiled of all that was of value, and then given up to the flames. The temple and palaces were consumed, and the walls of the city were levelled with the ground (B.C. 586), and all that remained of the people, except a number of the poorest class who were left to till the ground and dress the vineyards, were carried away captives to Babylon. This was the third and last deportation of Jewish captives. The land was now utterly desolate, and was abondoned to anarchy. In the first year of his reign as king of Babylon (B.C. 536), Cyrus issued a decree liberating the Jewish captives, and permitting them to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the city and the temple ( kjv@2Chronicals:36:22-23; kjv@Ezra:1; 2). The number of the people forming the first caravan, under Zerubbabel, amounted in all to 42-360 kjv@Ezra:2:64-65), besides 7,337 men-servants and maid-servants. A considerable number, 12,000 probably, from the ten tribes who had been carried away into Assyria no doubt combined with this band of liberated captives. At a later period other bands of the Jews returned
(1) under Ezra (7:7) (B.C. 458), and
(2) Nehemiah (7:66) (B.C. 445). But the great mass of the people remained still in the land to which they had been carried, and became a portion of the Jews of the "dispersion" kjv@John:7:35; kjv@1Peter:1:1). The whole number of the exiles that chose to remain was probably about six times the number of those who returned.
Carbuncle @ kjv@Exodus:28:17 kjv@Exodus:39:10; kjv@Ezekiel:28:13). Heb. barkath; LXX. smaragdos; Vulgate, smaragdus; Revised Version, marg., "emerald." The Hebrew word is from a root meaning "to glitter," "lighten," "flash." When held up to the sun, this gem shines like a burning coal, a dark-red glowing coal, and hence is called "carbunculus", i.e., a little coal. It was one of the jewels in the first row of the high priest's breastplate. It has been conjectured by some that the garnet is meant. In kjv@Isaiah:54:12 the Hebrew word is 'ekdah, used in the prophetic description of the glory and beauty of the mansions above. Next to the diamond it is the hardest and most costly of all precious stones.
Carcase @ contact with a, made an Israelite ceremonially unclean, and made whatever he touched also unclean, according to the Mosaic law kjv@Haggai:2:13; comp. kjv@Numbers:19:16 kjv@Numbers:19:22 kjv@Leviticus:11:39).
Carchemish @ fortress of Chemosh, a city on the west bank of the Euphrates kjv@Jeremiah:46:2; kjv@2Chronicals:35:20), not, as was once supposed, the Circesium at the confluence of the Chebar and the Euphrates, but a city considerably higher up the river, and commanding the ordinary passage of the Euphrates; probably identical with Hierapolis. It was the capital of the kingdom of the northern Hittites. The Babylonian army, under Nebuchadnezzar, the son of Nabopolassar, here met and conquered the army of Pharaoh-necho, king of Egypt (B.C. 607). It is mentioned in monuments in B.C. 1600 and down to B.C. 717.
Carmel @ a park; generally with the article, "the park."
(1.) A prominent headland of Central Palestine, consisting of several connected hills extending from the plain of Esdraelon to the sea, a distance of some 12 miles or more. At the east end, in its highest part, it Isaiah:1,728 feet high, and at the west end it forms a promontory to the bay of Acre about 600 feet above the sea. It lay within the tribe of Asher. It was here, at the east end of the ridge, at a place called el
- Mukhrakah (i.e., the place of burning), that Elijah brought back the people to their allegiance to God, and slew the prophets of Baal (kjvKings:18). Here were consumed the "fifties" of the royal guard; and here also Elisha received the visit of the bereaved mother whose son was restored by him to life ( kjv@2Kings:4:25-37). "No mountain in or around Palestine retains its ancient beauty so much as Carmel. Two or three villages and some scattered cottages are found on it; its groves are few but luxuriant; it is no place for crags and precipices or rocks of wild goats; but its surface is covered with a rich and constant verdure." "The whole mountain-side is dressed with blossom, and flowering shrubs, and fragrant herbs." The western extremity of the ridge is, however, more rocky and bleak than the eastern. The head of the bride in Cant. 7:5 is compared to Carmel. It is ranked with Bashan on account of its rich pastures kjv@Isaiah:33:9; kjv@Jeremiah:50:19; kjv@Amos:1:2). The whole ridge is deeply furrowed with rocky ravines filled with dense jungle. There are many caves in its sides, which at one time were inhabited by swarms of monks. These caves are referred to in kjv@Amos:9:3. To them Elijah and Elisha often resorted (kjvKings:18:19,42; kjv@2Kings:2:25). On its north-west summit there is an ancient establishment of Carmelite monks. Vineyards have recently been planted on the mount by the German colonists of Haifa. The modern Arabic name of the mount is Kurmul, but more commonly Jebel Mar Elyas, i.e., Mount St. Elias, from the Convent of Elias.
(2.) A town in the hill country of Judah kjv@Joshua:15:55), the residence of Nabal ( kjv@1Samuel:25:2 kjv@1Samuel:25:5, 7, 40), and the native place of Abigail, who became David's wife ( kjv@1Samuel:27:3). Here king Uzziah had his vineyards ( kjv@2Chronicals:26:10). The ruins of this town still remain under the name of Kurmul, about 10 miles south-south-east of Hebron, close to those of Maon.
Carmi @ vine-dresser.
(1.) The last named of the four sons of Reuben kjv@Genesis:46:9).
(2.) A descendant of Judah ( kjv@1Chronicles:4:1). He is elsewhere (2:18) called Caleb (q.v.).
(3.) The son of Zimri, and the father of Achan kjv@Joshua:7:1), "the troubler of Israel."
Carnal @ Unconverted men are so called ( kjv@1Corinthians:3:3). They are represented as of a "carnal mind, which is enmity against God" kjv@Romans:8:6-7). Enjoyments that minister to the wants and desires of man's animal nature are so called kjv@Romans:15:27; kjv@1Corinthians:9:11). The ceremonial of the Mosaic law is spoken of as "carnal," because it related to things outward, the bodies of men and of animals, and the purification of the flesh kjv@Hebrews:7:16 kjv@Hebrews:9:10). The weapons of Christian warfare are "not carnal", that is, they are not of man's device, nor are wielded by human power ( kjv@2Corinthians:10:4).
Carpenter @ an artificer in stone, iron, and copper, as well as in wood ( kjv@2Samuel:5:11; kjv@1Chronicles:14:1; kjv@Mark:6:3). The tools used by carpenters are mentioned in kjv@1Samuel:13:19-20; kjv@Judges:4:21; kjv@Isaiah:10:15 kjv@Isaiah:44:13. It was said of our Lord, "Is not this the carpenter's son?" kjv@Matthew:13:55); also, "Is not this the carpenter?" kjv@Mark:6:3). Every Jew, even the rabbis, learned some handicraft: Paul was a tentmaker. "In the cities the carpenters would be Greeks, and skilled workmen; the carpenter of a provincial village could only have held a very humble position, and secured a very moderate competence."
Carriage @ In the Authorized Version this word is found as the rendering of many different words. In kjv@Judges:18:21 it means valuables, wealth, or booty. In kjv@Isaiah:46:1 (R.V., "the things that ye carried about") the word means a load for a beast of burden. In kjv@1Samuel:17:22 and kjv@Isaiah:10:28 it is the rendering of a word ("stuff" in kjv@1Samuel:10:22) meaning implements, equipments, baggage. The phrase in kjv@Acts:21:15, "We took up our carriages," means properly, "We packed up our baggage," as in the Revised Version.
Cart @ a vehicle moving on wheels, and usually drawn by oxen ( kjv@2Samuel:6:3). The Hebrew word thus rendered, 'agalah ( kjv@1Samuel:6:7-8), is also rendered "wagon" kjv@Genesis:45:19). It is used also to denote a war-chariot kjv@Psalms:46:9). Carts were used for the removal of the ark and its sacred utensils kjv@Numbers:7:3 kjv@Numbers:7:6). After retaining the ark amongst them for seven months, the Philistines sent it back to the Israelites. On this occasion they set it in a new cart, probably a rude construction, with solid wooden wheels like that still used in Western Asia, which was drawn by two milch cows, which conveyed it straight to Beth-shemesh. A "cart rope," for the purpose of fastening loads on carts, is used kjv@Isaiah:5:18) as a symbol of the power of sinful pleasures or habits over him who indulges them. (
See CORD.) In Syria and Palestine wheel-carriages for any other purpose than the conveyance of agricultural produce are almost unknown.
Carve @ The arts of engraving and carving were much practised among the Jews. They were practised in connection with the construction of the tabernacle and the temple kjv@Exodus:31:2 kjv@Exodus:31:5 kjv@Exodus:35:33; kjvKings:6:18,35; kjv@Psalms:74:6), as well as in the ornamentation of the priestly dresses kjv@Exodus:28:9-36; kjv@Zechariah:3:9; kjv@2Chronicals:2:7 kjv@2Chronicals:2:14). Isaiah (44:13-17) gives a minute description of the process of carving idols of wood.
Casement @ a barrier of open-work placed before windows kjv@Proverbs:7:6). In kjv@Judges:5:28 the Hebrew word is rendered "lattice," in the LXX. "network," an opening through which cool air is admitted.
Casiphia @ silver, a place between Babylon and Jerusalem, where Iddo resided kjv@Ezra:8:17); otherwise unknown.
Casluhim @ fortified, a people descended from Mizraim kjv@Genesis:10:14; kjv@1Chronicles:1:12). Their original seat was probably somewhere in Lower Egypt, along the sea-coast to the south border of Palestine.
Cassia @
(1.) Hebrew kiddah', i.e., "split." One of the principal spices of the holy anointing oil kjv@Exodus:30:24), and an article of commerce kjv@Ezekiel:27:19). It is the inner bark of a tree resembling the cinnamon (q.v.), the Cinnamomum cassia of botanists, and was probably imported from India.
(2.) Hebrew pl. ketzi'oth kjv@Psalms:45:8). Mentioned in connection with myrrh and aloes as being used to scent garments. It was probably prepared from the peeled bark, as the Hebrew word suggests, of some kind of cinnamon.
Castaway @ Gr. adokimos, ( kjv@1Corinthians:9:27), one regarded as unworthy (R.V., "rejected"); elsewhere rendered "reprobate" ( kjv@2Timothy:3:8, etc.); "rejected" kjv@Hebrews:6:8, etc.).
Castle @ a military fortress ( kjv@1Chronicles:11:7), also probably a kind of tower used by the priests for making known anything discovered at a distance ( kjv@1Chronicles:6:54). Castles are also mentioned kjv@Genesis:25:16) as a kind of watch-tower, from which shepherds kept watch over their flocks by night. The "castle" into which the chief captain commanded Paul to be brought was the quarters of the Roman soldiers in the fortress of Antonia (so called by Herod after his patron Mark Antony), which was close to the north-west corner of the temple kjv@Acts:21:34), which it commanded.
Castor and Pollux @ the "Dioscuri", two heroes of Greek and Roman mythology. Their figures were probably painted or sculptured on the prow of the ship which Luke refers to kjv@Acts:28:11). They were regarded as the tutelary divinities of sailors. They appeared in the heavens as the constellation Gemini.
Caterpillar @ the consumer. Used in the Old Testament (kjvKings:8:37; kjv@2Chronicals:6:28; kjv@Psalms:78:46; kjv@Isaiah:33:4) as the translation of a word (hasil) the root of which means "to devour" or "consume," and which is used also with reference to the locust in kjv@Deuteronomy:28:38. It may have been a species of locust, or the name of one of the transformations through which the locust passes, locust-grub. It is also found kjv@Psalms:105:34; kjv@Jeremiah:51:14 kjv@Jeremiah:51:27 R.V., "cankerworm") as the rendering of a different Hebrew word, yelek, a word elsewhere rendered "cankerworm" (q.v.), kjv@Joel:1:4 kjv@Joel:2:25. (
See LOCUST.)
Catholic epistles @ the epistles of James, Peter, John, and Jude; so called because they are addressed to Christians in general, and not to any church or person in particular.
Cattle @ abounded in the Holy Land. To the rearing and management of them the inhabitants chiefly devoted themselves kjv@Deuteronomy:8:13 kjv@Deuteronomy:12:21; kjv@1Samuel:11:5 kjv@1Samuel:12:3; kjv@Psalms:144:14; kjv@Jeremiah:3:24). They may be classified as,
(1.) Neat cattle. Many hundreds of these were yearly consumed in sacrifices or used for food. The finest herds were found in Bashan, beyond Jordan kjv@Numbers:32:4). Large herds also pastured on the wide fertile plains of Sharon. They were yoked to the plough (kjvKings:19:19), and were employed for carrying burdens ( kjv@1Chronicles:12:40). They were driven with a pointed rod kjv@Judges:3:31) or goad (q.v.). According to the Mosaic law, the mouths of cattle employed for the threshing-floor were not to be muzzled, so as to prevent them from eating of the provender over which they trampled kjv@Deuteronomy:25:4). Whosoever stole and sold or slaughtered an ox must give five in satisfaction kjv@Exodus:22:1); but if it was found alive in the possession of him who stole it, he was required to make double restitution only (22:4). If an ox went astray, whoever found it was required to bring it back to its owner (23:4; kjv@Deuteronomy:22:1 kjv@Deuteronomy:22:4). An ox and an ass could not be yoked together in the plough kjv@Deuteronomy:22:10).
(2.) Small cattle. Next to herds of neat cattle, sheep formed the most important of the possessions of the inhabitants of Palestine kjv@Genesis:12:16 kjv@Genesis:13:5 kjv@Genesis:26:14 ; 21:27; 29:2-3). They are frequently mentioned among the booty taken in war kjv@Numbers:31:32; kjv@Joshua:6:21; kjv@1Samuel:14:32 kjv@1Samuel:15:3). There were many who were owners of large flocks ( kjv@1Samuel:25:2; kjv@2Samuel:12:2, comp. kjv@Job:1:3). Kings also had shepherds "over their flocks" ( kjv@1Chronicles:27:31), from which they derived a large portion of their revenue ( kjv@2Samuel:17:29; kjv@1Chronicles:12:40). The districts most famous for their flocks of sheep were the plain of Sharon kjv@Isaiah:65:10), Mount Carmel kjv@Micah:7:14), Bashan and Gilead kjv@Micah:7:14). In patriarchal times the flocks of sheep were sometimes tended by the daughters of the owners. Thus Rachel, the daughter of Laban, kept her father's sheep kjv@Genesis:29:9); as also Zipporah and her six sisters had charge of their father Jethro's flocks kjv@Exodus:2:16). Sometimes they were kept by hired shepherds kjv@John:10:12), and sometimes by the sons of the family ( kjv@1Samuel:16:11 kjv@1Samuel:17:15). The keepers so familiarized their sheep with their voices that they knew them, and followed them at their call. Sheep, but more especially rams and lambs, were frequently offered in sacrifice. The shearing of sheep was a great festive occasion ( kjv@1Samuel:25:4; kjv@2Samuel:13:23). They were folded at night, and guarded by their keepers against the attacks of the lion kjv@Micah:5:8), the bear ( kjv@1Samuel:17:34), and the wolf kjv@Matthew:10:16; kjv@John:10:12). They were liable to wander over the wide pastures and go astray kjv@Psalms:119:176; kjv@Isaiah:53:6; kjv@Hosea:4:16; kjv@Matthew:18:12). Goats also formed a part of the pastoral wealth of Palestine kjv@Genesis:15:9 kjv@Genesis:32:14 kjv@Genesis:37:31 ). They were used both for sacrifice and for food kjv@Deuteronomy:14:4), especially the young males kjv@Genesis:27:9 kjv@Genesis:27:14, 17; kjv@Judges:6:19 kjv@Judges:13:15; kjv@1Samuel:16:20). Goat's hair was used for making tent cloth kjv@Exodus:26:7 kjv@Exodus:36:14), and for mattresses and bedding ( kjv@1Samuel:19:13 kjv@1Samuel:19:16). (
See GOAT.)
Caul @ (Heb. yothe'reth; i.e., "something redundant"), the membrane which covers the upper part of the liver kjv@Exodus:29:13 kjv@Exodus:29:22 kjv@Leviticus:3:4 kjv@Leviticus:3:10, 15; kjv@4:9; 7:4; marg., "midriff"). In kjv@Hosea:13:8 (Heb. seghor; i.e., "an enclosure") the pericardium, or parts about the heart, is meant.
Cauls @ In kjv@Isaiah:3:18 this word (Heb. shebisim), in the marg. "networks," denotes network caps to contain the hair, worn by females. Others explain it as meaning "wreaths worn round the forehead, reaching from one ear to the other."
Causeway @ a raised way, an ascent by steps, or a raised slope between Zion and the temple ( kjv@1Chronicles:26:16-18). In kjv@2Chronicals:9:11 the same word is translated "terrace."
Cave @ There are numerous natural caves among the limestone rocks of Syria, many of which have been artificially enlarged for various purposes. The first notice of a cave occurs in the history of Lot kjv@Genesis:19:30). The next we read of is the cave of Machpelah (q.v.), which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth kjv@Genesis:25:9-10). It was the burying-place of Sarah and of Abraham himself, also of Isaac, Rebekah, Leah, and Jacob kjv@Genesis:49:31 kjv@Genesis:50:13). The cave of Makkedah, into which the five Amorite kings retired after their defeat by Joshua (10:16,27). The cave of Adullam (q.v.), an immense natural cavern, where David hid himself from Saul ( kjv@1Samuel:22:1-2). The cave of Engedi (q.v.), now called 'Ain Jidy, i.e., the "Fountain of the Kid", where David cut off the skirt of Saul's robe (24:4). Here he also found a shelter for himself and his followers to the number of 600 (23:29; 24:1). "On all sides the country is full of caverns which might serve as lurking-places for David and his men, as they do for outlaws at the present day." The cave in which Obadiah hid the prophets (kjvKings:18:4) was probably in the north, but it cannot be identified. The cave of Elijah (kjvKings:19:9), and the "cleft" of Moses on Horeb kjv@Exodus:33:22), cannot be determined. In the time of Gideon the Israelites took refuge from the Midianites in dens and caves, such as abounded in the mountain regions of Manasseh kjv@Judges:6:2). Caves were frequently used as dwelling-places kjv@Numbers:24:21; Cant. kjv@2:14; Jeremiah:49:16; kjv@Obadiah:1:3). "The excavations at Deir Dubban, on the south side of the wady leading to Santa Hanneh, are probably the dwellings of the Horites," the ancient inhabitants of Idumea Proper. The pits or cavities in rocks were also sometimes used as prisons kjv@Isaiah:24:22 kjv@Isaiah:51:14; kjv@Zechariah:9:11). Those which had niches in their sides were occupied as burying-places kjv@Ezekiel:32:23; kjv@John:11:38).
