smith:
CHAFF
- C>@ - the husk of corn or wheat which was separated from the grain by being thrown into the air, the wind blowing away the chaff, while the grain was saved. The carrying away of chaff by the wind is an ordinary scriptural image of the destruction of the wicked and of their powerlessness to resist God’s judgments. kjv@Psalms:1:4; kjv@Isaiah:17:13; kjv@Hosea:13:3; kjv@Zephaniah:2:2)
CHAIN
- C>@ - Chains were used, As badges of office; For ornament; For confining prisoners. the gold chain placed about Joseph’s neck, kjv@Genesis:41:42) and that promised to Daniel, kjv@Daniel:5:7) are instances of the first use. In kjv@Ezekiel:16:11) the chain is mentioned as the symbol of sovereignty. Chains for ornamental purposes were worn by men as well as women. kjv@Proverbs:1:9) Judith 10:4. The Midianites adorned the necks of their camels with chains. kjv@Judges:8:21-26) Step-chains were attached to the ankle-rings. kjv@Isaiah:3:16-18) The means adopted for confining prisoners among the Jews were fetters similar to our handcuffs. kjv@Judges:16:21; 2 Samuel kjv@3:34; 2Kings:25:7; kjv@Jeremiah:39:7) Among the Romans the prisoner was handcuffed to his guard, and occasionally to two guards. kjv@Acts:12:6-7 kjv@Acts:21:33)
CHALCEDONY
- C>@ - only in kjv@Revelation:21:19) The name is applied in modern mineralogy to one of the varieties of agate. It is generally translucent and exhibits a great variety of colors. So named because it was found near the ancient Chalcedon, near Constantinople.
CHALCOL
- C>@ - (Kings:4:31) CALCOL
CHALDEA
- C>@ - more correctly Chaldae’a, the ancient name of a country of Asia bordering on the Persian Gulf. Chaldea proper was the southern part of Babylonia, and is used in Scripture to signify that vast alluvial plain which has been formed by the deposits of the Euphrates and the Tigris. This extraordinary flat, unbroken except by the works of man, extends a distance of 400 miles along the course of the rivers, and is on an average about 100 miles in width. In addition to natural advantages these plains were nourished by a complicated system of canals, and vegetation flourished bountifully. It is said to be the only country in the world where wheat grows wild. Herodotus declared (i. 193) that grain commonly returned two hundred fold to the sower, and occasionally three hundred fold. Cities.
Babylonia has long been celebrated for the number and antiquity of its cities. The most important of those which have been identified are Borsippa (Birs
- Nimrun), Sippara or Sepharvaim (Mosaib), Cutha (Ibrahim), Calneh (Niffer), Erech (Warka), Ur (Mugheir), Chilmad (Kalwadha), Larancha (Senkereh), Is (Hit), Durabe (Akkerkuf); but besides these there were a multitude of others, the sites of which have not been determined. Present condition
This land, once so rich in corn and wine, is to-day but a mass of mounds, "an arid waste; the dense population of former times is vanished, and no man dwells there." The Hebrew prophets applied the term "land of the Chaldeans" to all Babylonia and "Chaldeans" to all the subjects of the Babylonian empire.
CHALDEANS, OR CHALDEES
- C>@ - It appears that the Chaldeans (Kaldai or Kaldi) were in the earliest times merely one out of many Cushite tribes inhabiting the great alluvial plain known afterwards as Chaldea or Babylonia. Their special seat was probably that southern portion of the country which is found to have so late retained the name of Chaldea. In process of time, as the Kaldi grew in power, their name gradually prevailed over those of the other tribes inhabiting the country; and by the era of the Jewish captivity it had begun to be used generally for all the inhabitants of Babylonia. It appears that while, both in Assyria and in later Babylonia, the Shemitic type of speech prevailed for civil purposes, the ancient Cushite dialect was retained, as a learned language for scientific and religious literature. This is no doubt the "learning" and the "tongue" to which reference it made in the book of Daniel, kjv@Daniel:1:4) The Chaldeans were really the learned class; they were priests, magicians or astronomers, and in the last of the three capacities they probably effected discoveries of great importance. In later times they seem to have degenerated into mere fortune-tellers.
CHALDEES, OR CHALDEES
- C>@ - CHALDEANS, OR CHALDEES
CHALK STONES
- C>@ - LIME
CHAMBER
- C>@ - kjv@Genesis:43:30; 2 Samuel 18:33; kjv@Psalms:19:5; kjv@Daniel:6:10) The word chamber in these passages has much the same significance as with us, meaning the private rooms of the house
the guest chamber, as with us, meaning a room set apart for the accommodation of the visiting friend. kjv@Mark:14:14-15; kjv@Luke:22:12) The upper chamber was used more particularly for the lodgment of strangers. kjv@Acts:9:37)
CHAMBERLAIN
- C>@ - an officer attached to the court of a king, who formerly had charge of the private apartments or chambers of the palace. He kept the accounts of the public revenues. The office held by Blastus, "the king’s chamberlain," was entirely different from this. kjv@Acts:12:20) It was a post of honor which involved great intimacy and influence with the king. For chamberlain as used in the Old Testament, see EUNUCH
CHAMELEON
- C>@ - a species of lizard. The reference in kjv@Leviticus:11:30) is to some kind of an unclean animal, supposed to be the lizard, known by the name of the "monitor of the Nile," a large, strong reptile common in Egypt and other parts of Africa.
CHAMOIS
- C>@ - (pronounced often shame), the translation of the Hebrew zemer in (14:5) But the translation is incorrect; for there is no evidence that the chamois have ever been seen in Palestine or the Lebanon. It is probable that some mountain sheep is intended.
CHANAAN
- C>@ - CANAAN, CANAAN, THE LAND OF
CHAPITER
- C>@ - the capital of a pillar; i.e. the upper part, as the term is used in modern architecture.
CHAPMAN
- C>@ - (i.e. cheap man), merchant.
CHARASHIM, THE VALLEY OF
- C>@ - (ravine of craftsmen), a place near Lydda, a few miles east of Joppa. ( kjv@1Chronicles:4:14)
CHARCHEMISH
- C>@ - ( kjv@2Chronicles:35:20) CARCHEMISH
CHARGER
- C>@ - a shallow vessel for receiving water or blood, also for presenting offerings of fine flour with oil. kjv@Numbers:7:79) The daughter of Herodias brought the head of St. John the Baptist in a charger, kjv@Matthew:14:8) probably a trencher or platter. BASIN
CHARIOT
- C>@ - a vehicle used either for warlike or peaceful purposes, but most commonly the former. The Jewish chariots were patterned after the Egyptian, and consisted of a single pair of wheels on an axle, upon which was a car with high front and sides, but open at the back. The earliest mention of chariots in Scripture is in Egypt, where Joseph, as a mark of distinction, was placed in Pharaoh’s second chariot. kjv@Genesis:41:43) Later on we find mention of Egyptian chariots for a warlike purpose. kjv@Exodus:14:7) In this point of view chariots among some nations of antiquity, as elephants among others, may be regarded as filling the place of heavy artillery in modern times, so that the military power of a nation might be estimated by the number of its chariots. Thus Pharaoh in pursuing Israel took with him 600 chariots. The Philistines in Saul’s time had 30,000. ( kjv@1Samuel:13:5) David took from Hadadezer, king of Zobah, 1000 chariots, (2 Samuel kjv@8:4) and from the Syrians a little later 700, (2 Samuel 10:18) who in order to recover their ground, collected 32,000 chariots. ( kjv@1Chronicles:19:7) Up to this time the Israelites possessed few or no chariots. They were first introduced by David, (2 Samuel kjv@8:4) who raised and maintained a force of 1400 chariots, (Kings:10:25) by taxation on certain cities agreeably to eastern custom in such matters. (Kings:9:19; 10:25) From this time chariots were regarded as among the most important arms of war. (Kings:22:34; kjv@2Kings:9:16 kjv@2Kings:9:21 kjv@2Kings:13:7 kjv@2Kings:13:14 kjv@2Kings:18:24 ; 23:30; kjv@Isaiah:31:1) Most commonly two persons, and sometimes three, rode in the chariot, of whom the third was employed to carry the state umbrella. (Kings:22:34; kjv@2Kings:9:20 kjv@2Kings:9:24 kjv@Acts:8:38) The prophets allude frequently to chariots as typical of power. kjv@Psalms:20:7 kjv@Psalms:104:3; kjv@Jeremiah:51:21; kjv@Zechariah:6:1)
CHARRAN
- C>@ - kjv@Acts:7:2-4) HARAN
CHASE
- C>@ - HUNTING
CHEBAR
- C>@ - (length), a river in the "land of the Chaldeans." kjv@Ezekiel:1:3 kjv@Ezekiel:3:15 kjv@Ezekiel:3:23) etc. It is commonly regarded as identical with the Habor, ( kjv@2Kings:17:6) and perhaps the Royal Canal of Nebuchadnezzar,
the greatest of all the cuttings in Mesopotamia.
CHEBEL
- C>@ - (cord), one of the singular topographical terms in which the ancient Hebrew language abounded. We find it always attached to the region of Argob. (3:4,13-14; kjv@Kings:4:13)
CHEDORLAOMER, OR CHEDORLAOMER
- C>@ - (handful of sheaves), a king of Elam, in the time of Abraham, who with three other chiefs made war upon the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboim and Zoar, and reduced them to servitude. kjv@Genesis:14:17)
CHEESE
- C>@ - is mentioned only three times in the Bible, and on each occasion under a different name in the Hebrew. ( kjv@1Samuel:17:18; 2 Samuel 17:29; kjv@Job:10:10) It is difficult to decide how far these terms correspond with our notion of cheese, for they simply express various degrees of coagulation. Cheese is not at the present day common among the Bedouin Arabs, butter being decidedly preferred; but there is a substance closely corresponding to those mentioned in 1Samuel:17,2Sam 17, consisting of coagulated buttermilk, which is dried until it become quite hard, and is then ground; the Arabs eat it mixed with butter.
CHELAL
- C>@ - (perfection), kjv@Ezra:10:30) one who had a strange wife.
CHELLUH
- C>@ - (completed), kjv@Ezra:10:35) another like the above.
CHELUB
- C>@ - A man among the descendants of Judah. Ezri the son of Chelub, one of David’s officers. ( kjv@1Chronicles:27:26)
CHELUBAI
- C>@ - (capable), the son of Hezron. Same as Caleb. ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:9 kjv@1Chronicles:2:18,42)
CHEMARIM, THE
- C>@ - (those who go about in black , i.e. ascetics). In the Hebrew applied to the priests of the worship of false gods. ( kjv@2Kings:23:5; kjv@Hosea:10:5) in margin; kjv@Zephaniah:1:4)
CHEMOSH
- C>@ - (subduer), the national deity of the Moabites. kjv@Numbers:21:29; kjv@Jeremiah:48:7 kjv@Jeremiah:48:13-46) In kjv@Judges:11:24) he also appears as the god of the Ammonites. Solomon introduced, and Josiah abolished, the worship of Chemosh at Jerusalem. (Kings:11:7; kjv@2Kings:23:13) Also identified with Baal-peor, Baalzebub, Mars and Saturn.
CHENAANAH
- C>@ - (merchant). Son of Bilhan, son of Jediael, son of Benjamin, head of a Benjamite house, ( kjv@1Chronicles:7:10) probably of the family of the Belaites. BELA Father or ancestor of Zedekiah the false prophet. (Kings:22:11-24; kjv@2Chronicles:18:10 kjv@2Chronicles:18:23)
CHEANI
- C>@ - (a contraction of Chenaniah), one of the Levites who assisted at the solemn purification of the people under Ezra. kjv@Nehemiah:9:4)
CHENANIAH
- C>@ - (established by the Lord), chief of the Levites when David carried the ark to Jerusalem. ( kjv@1Chronicles:15:22 kjv@1Chronicles:26:29)
CHEPHARHAAMMONAI
- C>@ - (hamlet of the Ammonites), a place mentioned among the town of Benjamin. kjv@Joshua:18:24)
CHEPHIRAH
- C>@ - (the hamlet), one of the four cities of the Gibeonites, kjv@Joshua:9:17) named afterwards among the towns of Benjamin. kjv@Ezra:2:25; kjv@Nehemiah:7:29)
CHERAN
- C>@ - (lyre), one of the sons of Dishon the Horite "duke." kjv@Genesis:36:26; kjv@1Chronicles:1:41)
CHERETHIM
- C>@ - (axe-men), kjv@Ezekiel:25:16) same as CHERETHITES.
CHERETHITES
- C>@ - (executioners) and of King David. (2 Samuel kjv@8:18; 15:18; 20:7,23; kjv@Kings:1:38,44; kjv@1Chronicles:18:17) It is plain that these royal guards were employed as executioners., ( kjv@2Kings:11:4) and as couriers, (Kings:14:27) But it has been conjectured that they may have been foreign mercenaries, and therefore probably Philistines, of which name Pelethites may be only another form.
CHERITH, THE BROOK
- C>@ - (cutting, ravine), the torrent-bed or wady in which Elijah hid himself during the early part of the three-years drought. (Kings:17:3-5) The position of the Cherith has been much disputed. The argument from probability is in favor of the Cherith being on the east of Jordan, and the name may possibly be discovered there.
CHERUB
- C>@ - apparently a place in Babylonia from which some persons of doubtful extraction returned to Judea with Zerubbabel. kjv@Ezra:2:59; kjv@Nehemiah:7:61)
CHERUB, CHERUBIM
- C>@ - The symbolical figure so called was a composite creature-form which finds a parallel in the religious insignia of Assyria, Egypt and Persia, e.g. the sphinx, the winged bulls and lions of Nineveh, etc. A cherub guarded paradise. kjv@Genesis:3:24) Figures of Cherubim were placed on the mercy-seat of the ark. kjv@Exodus:25:18) A pair of colossal size overshadowed it in Solomon’s temple with the canopy of their contiguously extended wings. (Kings:6:27) Those on the ark were to be placed with wings stretched forth, one at each end of the mercy-seat." Their wings were to be stretched upwards, and their faces "towards each other and towards the mercy-seat." It is remarkable that with such precise directions as to their position, attitude and material, nothing, save that they were winged, is said concerning their shape. On the whole it seems likely that the word "cherub" meant not only the composite creature-form, of which the man, lion, ox and eagle were the elements, but, further, some peculiar and mystical form. (Some suppose that the cherubim represented God’s providence among men, the four faces expressing the characters of that providence: its wisdom and intelligence (man), its strength (ox), its kingly authority (lion), its swiftness, far-sighted (eagle). Others, combining all the other references with the description of the living creatures in Revelation, make the cherubim to represent God’s redeemed people. The qualities of the four faces are those which belong to God’s people. Their facing four ways, towards all quarters of the globe, represents their duty of extending the truth. The wings show swiftness of obedience; and only the redeemed can sing the song put in their mouths in kjv@Revelation:5:8-14)
ED).
CHESALON
- C>@ - (hopes), a place named as one of the landmarks on the west part of the north boundary of Judah, kjv@Joshua:15:10) probably Kesla , about six miles to the northeast of Ainshems , on the western mountains of Judah.
CHESED

CHESIL
- C>@ - (idolatrous), a town in the extreme south of Palestine, kjv@Joshua:15:30) 15 Miles southwest of Beersheba. In kjv@Joshua:19:4) the name is BETHUL.
CHEST
- C>@ - By this word are translated in the Authorized Version two distinct Hebrew terms: Aron ; this is invariably used for the ark of the covenant, and, with two exceptions, for that only. The two exceptions alluded to are (a) the "coffin" in which the bones of Joseph were carried from Egypt, kjv@Genesis:50:26) and (b) the "chest" in which Jehoiada the priest collected the alms for the repairs of the temple. ( kjv@2Kings:12:9-10; kjv@2Chronicles:24:8-11) Genazim , "chests." kjv@Ezekiel:27:24) only.
CHESTNUT TREE
- C>@ - (Heb. ’armon .) kjv@Genesis:30:37; kjv@Ezekiel:31:8) Probably the "palm tree" (Platanus orientalis) is intended. This tree thrives best in low and rather moist situations in the north of Palestine, and resembles our sycamore or buttonwood (Platanus occidentalis).
CHESULLOTH
- C>@ - (the loins), one of the towns of Issachar. kjv@Joshua:19:18) From its position int he lists it appears to be between Jezreel and Shunem (Salam).
CHEZIB
- C>@ - (lying), a name which occurs but once, kjv@Genesis:38:5) probably the same as ACHZIB.
CHIDON
- C>@ - (a javelin), the name which in ( kjv@1Chronicles:13:9) is given to the threshing-floor at which the accident to the ark took place. In the parallel account in 2Sam 6 the name is given as NACHON.
CHILDREN
- C>@ - The blessing of offspring, but especially of the male sex, is highly valued among all eastern nations, while a the absence is regarded as one of the severest punishments. kjv@Genesis:16:2 kjv@Genesis:7:14; kjv@1Samuel:1:6; 2 Samuel kjv@6:23; 2Kings:4:14; kjv@Isaiah:47:9; kjv@Jeremiah:20:15; kjv@Psalms:127:3-5) As soon as the child was born it was washed in a bath, rubbed with salt and wrapped in swaddling clothes. kjv@Ezekiel:16:4; kjv@Job:38:9; kjv@Luke:2:7) On the 8th day the rite of circumcision, in the case of a boy, was performed and a name given. At the end of a certain time (forty days if a son and twice as long if a daughter) the mother offered sacrifice for her cleansing. kjv@Leviticus:12:1-8; kjv@Luke:2:22) The period of nursing appears to have been sometimes prolonged to three years. kjv@Isaiah:49:15) 2 Macc. kjv@7:27. The time of weaning was an occasion of rejoicing. kjv@Genesis:21:8) Both boys and girls in their early years were under the care of the women. kjv@Proverbs:31:1) Afterwards the boys were taken by the father under his charge. Daughters usually remained in the women’s apartments till marriage. kjv@Leviticus:21:9; kjv@Numbers:12:14; kjv@1Samuel:9:11) The authority of parents, especially of the father, over children was very great, as was also the reverence enjoined by the law to be paid to parents. The inheritance was divided equally between all the sons except the eldest, who received a double portion. kjv@Genesis:25:31 kjv@Genesis:49:3 kjv@Genesis:21:17 ; kjv@Judges:11:2 kjv@Judges:11:7 kjv@1Chronicles:5:1-2) Daughters had by right no portion in the inheritance; but if a man had no son, his inheritance passed to his daughters, who were forbidden to marry out of the father’s tribe. kjv@Numbers:27:1 kjv@Numbers:27:8 kjv@Numbers:36:2 kjv@Numbers:36:8)
CHILEAB
- C>@ - (like his father), a son of David by Abigail. ABIGAIL
CHILLON
- C>@ - (pining, sickly), the son of Naomi and husband of Ruth. kjv@Ruth:1:2-5 kjv@Ruth:4:9) (B.C. 1250.)
CHILMAD
- C>@ - (enclosure), a place or country mentioned in conjunction with Sheba and Asshur. kjv@Ezekiel:27:23)
CHIMHAM
- C>@ - (longing), a follower and probably a son, of Barzillai the Gileadite, who returned from beyond Jordan with David. (2 Samuel 19:37-38-40) (B 100:1023.) David appears to have bestowed on him a possession at Bethlehem, on which, in later times, an inn or khan was standing. kjv@Jeremiah:41:17)
CHIMHAN
- C>@ - CHIMHAM
CHINNERETH
- C>@ - (circuit), accurately Cinnareth, a fortified city in the tribe of Naphtali, kjv@Joshua:19:35) only, of which no trace is found in later writers, and no remains by travellers.
CHINNERETH, SEA OF
- C>@ - kjv@Numbers:34:11; kjv@Joshua:13:27) the inland sea, which is most similarly known to us as the "Lake of Gennesareth" or "Sea of Galilee."
CHINNEROTH
- C>@ - CHINNERETH, CHINNERETH, SEA OF
CHIOS
- C>@ - (snowy), an island of the Aegean Sea, 12 miles from Smyrna. It is separated from the mainland by a strait of only 5 miles. Its length is about 12 miles, and in breadth it varies from 8 to 18. Paul passed it on his return voyage from Troas to Caesarea. kjv@Acts:20:15 it is now called Scio.
CHISLEU
- C>@ - MONTH
CHISLON
- C>@ - (confidence), father of Elidad, the prince of the tribe of Benjamin chosen to assist in the division of the land of Canaan among the tribes. kjv@Numbers:34:21) (B.C. 1450.)
CHISLOTHTABOR
- C>@ - (loins of Tabor) a place to the border of which reached the border of Zebulun. kjv@Joshua:19:12) It may be the village Iksal , which is now standing about 2 1/2 miles to the west of Mount Tabor.
CHITTIM, KITTIM
- C>@ - (bruisers), a family or race descended from Javan. kjv@Genesis:10:4; kjv@1Chronicles:1:7) Authorized Version KITTIM. Chittim is frequently noticed in Scripture. kjv@Numbers:24:24; kjv@Isaiah:23::1,12; kjv@Jeremiah:2:10; kjv@Ezekiel:27:6; kjv@Daniel:11:30) In the above passages, the "isles of Chittim," the "ships of Chittim, the "coasts of Chittim," are supposed to refer to the island of Cyprus. Josephus considered Cyprus the original seat of the Chittim. The name Chittim, which in the first instance had implied to Phoenicians only, passed over to the islands which they had occupied, and thence to the people who succeeded the Phoenicians in the occupation of them.
CHIUN
- C>@ - (a statue , perhaps of Saturn), an idol made by the Israelites in the wilderness. REMPHAN
CHLOE
- C>@ - (green herb), a woman mentioned in ( kjv@1Corinthians:1:11)
CHORASHAN
- C>@ - ( kjv@1Samuel:30:30) It may perhaps, be identified with ASHAN of Simeon.
CHORAZIN
- C>@ - one of the cities in which our Lord’s mighty works were done, but named only in his denunciation. kjv@Matthew:11:21; kjv@Luke:10:13 St. Jerome describes it as on the shore of the lake, two miles from Capernaum, but its modern site is uncertain.
CHOZEBA
- C>@ - ( kjv@1Chronicles:4:22) Perhaps the same as ACHZIB.
CHRIST
- C>@ - Jesus
CHRISTIAN
- C>@ - The disciples, we are told, kjv@Acts:11:26) were first called Christians at Antioch on the Orontes, somewhere about A.D. 43. They were known to each other as, and were among themselves called, brethren, kjv@Acts:15:1-23; kjv@1Corinthians:7:12) disciples , kjv@Acts:9:26 kjv@Acts:11:29) believers , kjv@Acts:5:14) saints , kjv@Romans:8:27 kjv@Romans:15:25) The name "Christian," which, in the only other cases where it appears in the New Testament, kjv@Acts:26:28; kjv@1Peter:4:16) is used contemptuously, could not have been applied by the early disciples to themselves, but was imposed upon them by the Gentile world. There is no reason to suppose that the name "Christian" of itself was intended as a term of scurrility or abuse, though it would naturally be used with contempt.
CHRONICLES, FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF
- C>@ - the name originally given to the record made by the appointed historiographers in the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. In the LXX. these books are called Paralipomena (i.e. things omitted), which is understood as meaning that they are supplementary to the books of Kings. The constant tradition of the Jews is that these books were for the most part compiled by Ezra. One of the greatest difficulties connected with the captivity and return must have been the maintenance of that genealogical distribution of the land which yet was a vital point of the Jewish economy. To supply this want and that each tribe might secure the inheritance of its fathers on its return was one object of the author of these books. Another difficulty intimately connected with the former was the maintenance of the temple services at Jerusalem. Zerubbabel, and after him Ezra and Nehemiah, labored most earnestly to restore the worship of God among the people, and to reinfuse something of national life and spirit into their hearts. Nothing could more effectually aid these designs than setting before the people a compendious history of the kingdom of David, its prosperity under God; the sins that led to its overthrow; the captivity and return. These considerations explain the plan and scope of that historical work which consists of the two books of Chronicles. The first book contains the sacred history by genealogies from the Creation to David, including an account of David’s reign. In the second book he continues the story, giving the history of the kings of Judah, without those of Israel, down to the return from the captivity. As regards the materials used by Ezra, they are not difficult to discover. The genealogies are obviously transcribed from some register in which were preserved the genealogies of the tribes and families drawn up at different times; while the history is mainly drawn from the same document as those used in the books of King. KINGS, FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF, BOOKS OF
CHRONOLOGY
- C>@ - By this term we understand the technical and historical chronology of the Jews and their ancestors from the earliest time to the close of the New Testament Canon. TECHNICAL CHRONOLOGY.
The technical part of Hebrew chronology presents great difficulties. HISTORICAL CHRONOLOGY.
The historical part of Hebrew chronology is not less difficult than the technical. The information in the Bible is indeed direct rather than inferential although there is very important evidence of the latter kind, but the present state of the numbers make absolute certainty in many cases impossible. Three principal systems of biblical chronology have been founded, which may be termed (the Long System, the short, and the Rabbinical. There is a fourth, which although an off shoot in part of the last, can scarcely be termed biblical, in as much as it depends for the most part upon theories, not only independent of but repugnant to the Bible: this last is at present peculiar to Baron Bunsen. The principal advocates of the Long chronology are Jackson. Hales and Des
- Vignoles. Of the Short chronology Ussher may be considered as the most able advocate The Rabbinical chronology accept the biblical numbers, but makes the most arbitrary corrections. For the date of the Exodus it has been virtually accepted by Bunsen, Lepsius and Lord A. Hervey. The numbers given by the LXX. for the antediluvian patriarchs would place the creation of Adam 2262 years before the end of the flood or B.C. cir. 5361 or 5421.
CHRYSOLITE
- C>@ - one of the precious stones in the foundation of the heavenly Jerusalem. kjv@Revelation:21:20) It has been already stated BERYL that the chrysolite of the ancients is identical with the modern oriental topaz the tarhish of the Hebrew Bible.
CHRYOPRASE
- C>@ - occurs only in kjv@Revelation:21:20) The true chrysoprase is sometimes found in antique Egyptian jewelry set alternately with bits of lapis-lazuli. It is problem therefore, that this is the stone named as the tenth in the walls of the heavenly Jerusalem.
CHRYSPRASUS
- C>@ - Latin form of CHRYSOPRAS.
CHUB
- C>@ - the name of a people in alliance with Egypt in the time of Nebuchadnezzar, kjv@Ezekiel:30:5) and probably of northern Africa.
CHUN
- C>@ - ( kjv@1Chronicles:18:8) called Berothai in (2 Samuel kjv@8:8)
CHURCH
- C>@ - The derivation of the word is generally said to be from the Greek kuriakon (kuriakon) "belonging to the Lord." But the derivation has been too hastily assumed. It is probably connected with kirk , the Latin circus, circulus, the Greek kuklos (kuklos) because the congregations were gathered in circles. Ecclesia (ekklesia) the Greek word for church, originally meant an assembly called out by the magistrate, or by legitimate authority. It was in this last sense that the word was adapted and applied by the writers of the New Testament to the Christian congregation. In the one Gospel of St. Matthew the church is spoken of no less than thirty-six times as "the kingdom." Other descriptions or titles are hardly found in the evangelists. It is Christ’s household, kjv@Matthew:10:25) the salt and light of the world, kjv@Matthew:5:13-15) Christ’s flock, kjv@Matthew:26:31; kjv@John:10:15) its members are the branches growing on Christ the Vine, kjv@John:15; but the general description of it, not metaphorical but direct, is that it is a kingdom, kjv@Matthew:16:19) From the Gospel then we learn that Christ was about to establish his heavenly kingdom on earth, which was to be the substitute for the Jewish Church and kingdom, now doomed to destruction kjv@Matthew:21:43) The day of Pentecost is the birthday of the Christian church. Before they had been individual followers Jesus; now they became his mystical body, animated by his spirit. On the evening of the day of Pentecost, the 3140 members of which the Church consisted were
(1) Apostles;
(2) previous Disciples;
(3) Converts. In kjv@Acts:2:41) we have indirectly exhibited the essential conditions of church communion. They are
(1) Baptism, baptism implying on the part of the recipient repentance and faith;
(2) Apostolic Doctrine;
(3) Fellowship with the Apostles;
(4) The Lord’s Supper;
(5) Public Worship. The real Church consists of all who belong to the Lord Jesus Christ as his disciples, and are one in love, in character, in hope, in Christ as the head of all, though as the body of Christ it consists of many parts.
CHUSHANRISHATHAIM
- C>@ - (chief of two governments), the king of Mesopotamia who oppressed Israel during eight years in the generation immediately following Joshua. kjv@Judges:3:8) (B.C. after 1420.) His yoke was broken from the neck of the people of Israel by Othniel, Caleb’s nephew. kjv@Judges:3:10)
CHUZA
- C>@ - properly Chu’zas (the seer), the house-steward of Herod Antipas. kjv@Luke:8:3)
easton:
Chaff @ the refuse of winnowed corn. It was usually burned kjv@Exodus:15:7; kjv@Isaiah:5:24; kjv@Matthew:3:12). This word sometimes, however, means dried grass or hay kjv@Isaiah:5:24 kjv@Isaiah:33:11). Chaff is used as a figure of abortive wickedness kjv@Psalms:1:4; kjv@Matthew:3:12). False doctrines are also called chaff kjv@Jeremiah:23:28), or more correctly rendered "chopped straw." The destruction of the wicked, and their powerlessness, are likened to the carrying away of chaff by the wind kjv@Isaiah:17:13; kjv@Hosea:13:3; kjv@Zephaniah:2:2).
Chain @
(1.) A part of the insignia of office. A chain of gold was placed about Joseph's neck kjv@Genesis:41:42); and one was promised to Daniel (5:7). It is used as a symbol of sovereignty kjv@Ezekiel:16:11). The breast-plate of the high-priest was fastened to the ephod by golden chains kjv@Exodus:39:17 kjv@Exodus:39:21).
(2.) It was used as an ornament kjv@Proverbs:1:9; Cant. 1:10). The Midianites adorned the necks of their camels with chains kjv@Judges:8:21-26).
(3.) Chains were also used as fetters wherewith prisoners were bound kjv@Judges:16:21; kjv@2Samuel:3:34; kjv@2Kings:25:7; kjv@Jeremiah:39:7). Paul was in this manner bound to a Roman soldier kjv@Acts:28:20; kjv@Ephesians:6:20; kjv@2Timothy:1:16). Sometimes, for the sake of greater security, the prisoner was attached by two chains to two soldiers, as in the case of Peter kjv@Acts:12:6).
Chalcedony @ Mentioned only in kjv@Revelation:21:19, as one of the precious stones in the foundation of the New Jerusalem. The name of this stone is derived from Chalcedon, where it is said to have been first discovered. In modern mineralogy this is the name of an agate-like quartz of a bluish colour. Pliny so names the Indian ruby. The mineral intended in Revelation is probably the Hebrew nophekh, translated "emerald" kjv@Exodus:28:18 kjv@Exodus:39:11; kjv@Ezekiel:27:16 kjv@Ezekiel:28:13). It is rendered "anthrax" in the LXX., and "carbunculus" in the Vulgate. (
See CARBUNCLE.)
Chaldea @ The southern portion of Babylonia, Lower Mesopotamia, lying chiefly on the right bank of the Euphrates, but commonly used of the whole of the Mesopotamian plain. The Hebrew name is Kasdim, which is usually rendered "Chaldeans" kjv@Jeremiah:50:10 kjv@Jeremiah:51:24 kjv@Jeremiah:51:35). The country so named is a vast plain formed by the deposits of the Euphrates and the Tigris, extending to about 400 miles along the course of these rivers, and about 100 miles in average breadth. "In former days the vast plains of Babylon were nourished by a complicated system of canals and water-courses, which spread over the surface of the country like a network. The wants of a teeming population were supplied by a rich soil, not less bountiful than that on the banks of the Egyptian Nile. Like islands rising from a golden sea of waving corn stood frequent groves of palm-trees and pleasant gardens, affording to the idler or traveller their grateful and highly-valued shade. Crowds of passengers hurried along the dusty roads to and from the busy city. The land was rich in corn and wine." Recent discoveries, more especially in Babylonia, have thrown much light on the history of the Hebrew patriarchs, and have illustrated or confirmed the Biblical narrative in many points. The ancestor of the Hebrew people, Abram, was, we are told, born at "Ur of the Chaldees." "Chaldees" is a mistranslation of the Hebrew Kasdim, Kasdim being the Old Testament name of the Babylonians, while the Chaldees were a tribe who lived on the shores of the Persian Gulf, and did not become a part of the Babylonian population till the time of Hezekiah. Ur was one of the oldest and most famous of the Babylonian cities. Its site is now called Mugheir, or Mugayyar, on the western bank of the Euphrates, in Southern Babylonia. About a century before the birth of Abram it was ruled by a powerful dynasty of kings. Their conquests extended to Elam on the one side, and to the Lebanon on the other. They were followed by a dynasty of princes whose capital was Babylon, and who seem to have been of South Arabian origin. The founder of the dynasty was Sumu-abi ("Shem is my father"). But soon afterwards Babylonia fell under Elamite dominion. The kings of Babylon were compelled to acknowledge the supremacy of Elam, and a rival kingdom to that of Babylon, and governed by Elamites, sprang up at Larsa, not far from Ur, but on the opposite bank of the river. In the time of Abram the king of Larsa was Eri
- Aku, the son of an Elamite prince, and Eri
- Aku, as has long been recognized, is the Biblical "Arioch king of Ellasar" kjv@Genesis:14:1). The contemporaneous king of Babylon in the north, in the country termed Shinar in Scripture, was Khammu-rabi. (
See BABYLON; ABRAHAM; AMRAPHEL
Chaldee language @ employed by the sacred writers in certain portions of the Old Testament, viz., kjv@Daniel:2:4-7, 28; kjv@Ezra:4:8-6:18; kjv@7:12-26; Genesis:31:46; kjv@Jeremiah:10:11. It is the Aramaic dialect, as it is sometimes called, as distinguished from the Hebrew dialect. It was the language of commerce and of social intercourse in Western Asia, and after the Exile gradually came to be the popular language of Palestine. It is called "Syrian" in kjv@2Kings:18:26. Some isolated words in this language are preserved in the New Testament kjv@Matthew:5:22 kjv@Matthew:6:24 kjv@Matthew:16:17 ; 27:46; kjv@Mark:3:17 kjv@Mark:5:41 kjv@Mark:7:34 ; 14:36; kjv@Acts:1:19; kjv@1Corinthians:16:22). These are specimens of the vernacular language of Palestine at that period. The term "Hebrew" was also sometimes applied to the Chaldee because it had become the language of the Hebrews kjv@John:5:2 kjv@John:19:20).
Chaldees @ or Chaldeans, the inhabitants of the country of which Babylon was the capital. They were so called till the time of the Captivity ( kjv@2Kings:25; Isaiah:13:19 kjv@Isaiah:23:13), when, particularly in the Book of Daniel (5:30; 9:1), the name began to be used with special reference to a class of learned men ranked with the magicians and astronomers. These men cultivated the ancient Cushite language of the original inhabitants of the land, for they had a "learning" and a "tongue" (1:4) of their own. The common language of the country at that time had become assimilated to the Semitic dialect, especially through the influence of the Assyrians, and was the language that was used for all civil purposes. The Chaldeans were the learned class, interesting themselves in science and religion, which consisted, like that of the ancient Arabians and Syrians, in the worship of the heavenly bodies. There are representations of this priestly class, of magi and diviners, on the walls of the Assyrian palaces.
Chamber @ "on the wall," which the Shunammite prepared for the prophet Elisha ( kjv@2Kings:4:10), was an upper chamber over the porch through the hall toward the street. This was the "guest chamber" where entertainments were prepared kjv@Mark:14:14). There were also "chambers within chambers" (kjvKings:22:25; kjv@2Kings:9:2). To enter into a chamber is used metaphorically of prayer and communion with God kjv@Isaiah:26:20). The "chambers of the south" kjv@Job:9:9) are probably the constelations of the southern hemisphere. The "chambers of imagery", i.e., chambers painted with images, as used by Ezekiel (8:12), is an expression denoting the vision the prophet had of the abominations practised by the Jews in Jerusalem.
Chambering @ kjv@Romans:13:13), wantonness, impurity.
Chamberlain @ a confidential servant of the king kjv@Genesis:37:36 kjv@Genesis:39:1). In kjv@Romans:16:23 mention is made of "Erastus the chamberlain." Here the word denotes the treasurer of the city, or the quaestor, as the Romans styled him. He is almost the only convert from the higher ranks of whom mention is made (comp. kjv@Acts:17:34). Blastus, Herod's "chamberlain" kjv@Acts:12:20), was his personal attendant or valet-de-chambre. The Hebrew word saris, thus translated in kjv@Esther:1:10 kjv@Esther:1:15 kjv@Esther:2:3 kjv@Esther:2:14, 21, etc., properly means an eunuch (as in the marg.), as it is rendered in kjv@Isaiah:39:7 kjv@Isaiah:56:3.
Chameleon @ a species of lizard which has the faculty of changing the colour of its skin. It is ranked among the unclean animals in kjv@Leviticus:11:30, where the Hebrew word so translated is coah (R.V., "land crocodile"). In the same verse the Hebrew tanshemeth, rendered in Authorized Version "mole," is in Revised Version "chameleon," which is the correct rendering. This animal is very common in Egypt and in the Holy Land, especially in the Jordan valley.
Chamois @ only in kjv@Deuteronomy:14:5 (Heb. zemer), an animal of the deer or gazelle species. It bears this Hebrew name from its leaping or springing. The animal intended is probably the wild sheep (Ovis tragelephus), which is still found in Sinai and in the broken ridges of Stony Arabia. The LXX. and Vulgate render the word by camelopardus, i.e., the giraffe; but this is an animal of Central Africa, and is not at all known in Syria.
Champion @ ( kjv@1Samuel:17:4 kjv@1Samuel:17:23), properly "the man between the two," denoting the position of Goliath between the two camps. Single combats of this kind at the head of armies were common in ancient times. In ver. 51 this word is the rendering of a different Hebrew word, and properly denotes "a mighty man."
Chance @ kjv@Luke:10:31). "It was not by chance that the priest came down by that road at that time, but by a specific arrangement and in exact fulfilment of a plan; not the plan of the priest, nor the plan of the wounded traveller, but the plan of God. By coincidence (Gr. sungkuria) the priest came down, that is, by the conjunction of two things, in fact, which were previously constituted a pair in the providence of God. In the result they fell together according to the omniscient Designer's plan. This is the true theory of the divine government." Compare the meeting of Philip with the Ethiopian kjv@Acts:8:26-27). There is no "chance" in God's empire. "Chance" is only another word for our want of knowledge as to the way in which one event falls in with another ( kjv@1Samuel:6:9; kjv@Ecclesiastes:9:11).
Chancellor @ one who has judicial authority, literally, a "lord of judgement;" a title given to the Persian governor of Samaria kjv@Ezra:4:8-9, 17).
Changes of raiment @ were reckoned among the treasures of rich men kjv@Genesis:45:22; kjv@Judges:14:12-13; kjv@2Kings:5:22-23).
Channel @
(1.) The bed of the sea or of a river kjv@Psalms:18:15; kjv@Isaiah:8:7).
(2.) The "chanelbone" kjv@Job:31:22 marg.), properly "tube" or "shaft," an old term for the collar-bone.
Chapel @ a holy place or sanctuary, occurs only in kjv@Amos:7:13, where one of the idol priests calls Bethel "the king's chapel."
Chapiter @ the ornamental head or capital of a pillar. Three Hebrew words are so rendered.
(1.) Cothereth (kjvKings:7:16; kjv@2Kings:25:17; kjv@2Chronicals:4:12), meaning a "diadem" or "crown."
(2.) Tzepheth ( kjv@2Chronicals:3:15).
(3.) Rosh kjv@Exodus:36:38 kjv@Exodus:38:17-19, 28), properly a "head" or "top."
Chapter @ The several books of the Old and New Testaments were from an early time divided into chapters. The Pentateuch was divided by the ancient Hebrews into 54 parshioth or sections, one of which was read in the synagogue every Sabbath day kjv@Acts:13:15). These sections were afterwards divided into 669 sidrim or orders of unequal length. The Prophets were divided in somewhat the same manner into haphtaroth or passages. In the early Latin and Greek versions of the Bible, similar divisions of the several books were made. The New Testament books were also divided into portions of various lengths under different names, such as titles and heads or chapters. In modern times this ancient example was imitated, and many attempts of the kind were made before the existing division into chapters was fixed. The Latin Bible published by Cardinal Hugo of St. Cher in A.D. 1240 is generally regarded as the first Bible that was divided into our present chapters, although it appears that some of the chapters were fixed as early as A.D. 1059. This division into chapters came gradually to be adopted in the published editions of the Hebrew, with some few variations, and of the Greek Scriptures, and hence of other versions.
Charashim @ craftsmen, a valley named in kjv@1Chronicles:4:14. In kjv@Nehemiah:11:35 the Hebrew word is rendered "valley of craftsmen" (R.V. marg., Geha-rashim). Nothing is known of it.
Charger @ a bowl or deep dish. The silver vessels given by the heads of the tribes for the services of the tabernacle are so named kjv@Numbers:7:13, etc.). The "charger" in which the Baptist's head was presented was a platter or flat wooden trencher kjv@Matthew:14:8 kjv@Matthew:14:11 kjv@Mark:6:25 kjv@Mark:6:28). The chargers of gold and silver of kjv@Ezra:1:9 were probably basins for receiving the blood of sacrifices.
Chariot @ a vehicle generally used for warlike purposes. Sometimes, though but rarely, it is spoken of as used for peaceful purposes. The first mention of the chariot is when Joseph, as a mark of distinction, was placed in Pharaoh's second state chariot kjv@Genesis:41:43); and the next, when he went out in his own chariot to meet his father Jacob (46:29). Chariots formed part of the funeral procession of Jacob (50:9). When Pharaoh pursued the Israelites he took 600 war-chariots with him kjv@Exodus:14:7). The Canaanites in the valleys of Palestine had chariots of iron kjv@Joshua:17:18; kjv@Judges:1:19). Jabin, the king of Canaan, had 900 chariots kjv@Judges:4:3); and in Saul's time the Philistines had 30,000. In his wars with the king of Zobah and with the Syrians, David took many chariots among the spoils ( kjv@2Samuel:8:4 kjv@2Samuel:10:18). Solomon maintained as part of his army 1,400 chariots (kjvKings:10:26), which were chiefly imported from Egypt
(29). From this time forward they formed part of the armies of Israel (kjvKings:22:34; kjv@2Kings:9:16 kjv@2Kings:9:21 kjv@2Kings:13:7 kjv@2Kings:13:14 kjv@2Kings:18:24 ; 23:30). In the New Testament we have only one historical reference to the use of chariots, in the case of the Ethiopian eunuch kjv@Acts:8:28-29, 38). This word is sometimes used figuratively for hosts kjv@Psalms:68:17; kjv@2Kings:6:17). Elijah, by his prayers and his counsel, was "the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof." The rapid agency of God in the phenomena of nature is also spoken of under the similitude of a chariot kjv@Psalms:104:3; kjv@Isaiah:66:15; kjv@Habakkuk:3:8). Chariot of the cherubim ( kjv@1Chronicles:28:18), the chariot formed by the two cherubs on the mercy-seat on which the Lord rides. Chariot cities were set apart for storing the war-chariots in time of peace ( kjv@2Chronicals:1:14). Chariot horses were such as were peculiarly fitted for service in chariots ( kjv@2Kings:7:14). Chariots of war are described in kjv@Exodus:14:7; kjv@1Samuel:13:5; kjv@2Samuel:8:4; kjv@1Chronicles:18:4; kjv@Joshua:11:4; kjv@Judges:4:3 kjv@Judges:4:13. They were not used by the Israelites till the time of David. Elijah was translated in a "chariot of fire" ( kjv@2Kings:2:11). Comp. kjv@2Kings:6:17. This vision would be to Elisha a source of strength and encouragement, for now he could say, "They that be with us are more than they that be with them."
Charity @ ( 1Corinthians:13), the rendering in the Authorized Version of the word which properly denotes love, and is frequently so rendered (always so in the Revised Version). It is spoken of as the greatest of the three Christian graces ( kjv@1Corinthians:12:31-13:13).
Charmer @ one who practises serpent-charming kjv@Psalms:58:5; kjv@Jeremiah:8:17; kjv@Ecclesiastes:10:11). It was an early and universal opinion that the most venomous reptiles could be made harmless by certain charms or by sweet sounds. It is well known that there are jugglers in India and in other Eastern lands who practise this art at the present day. In kjv@Isaiah:19:3 the word "charmers" is the rendering of the Hebrew 'ittim, meaning, properly, necromancers (R.V. marg., "whisperers"). In kjv@Deuteronomy:18:11 the word "charmer" means a dealer in spells, especially one who, by binding certain knots, was supposed thereby to bind a curse or a blessing on its object. In kjv@Isaiah:3:3 the words "eloquent orator" should be, as in the Revised Version, "skilful enchanter."
Charran @ another form kjv@Acts:7:2-4) of Haran (q.v.).
Chebar @ length, a river in the "land of the Chaldeans" kjv@Ezekiel:1:3), on the banks of which were located some of the Jews of the Captivity kjv@Ezekiel:1:1 kjv@Ezekiel:3:15 kjv@Ezekiel:3:23 kjv@Ezekiel:10:15 ,20, 22). It has been supposed to be identical with the river Habor, the Chaboras, or modern Khabour, which falls into the Euphrates at Circesium. To the banks of this river some of the Israelites were removed by the Assyrians ( kjv@2Kings:17:6). An opinion that has much to support it is that the "Chebar" was the royal canal of Nebuchadnezzar, the Nahr Malcha, the greatest in Mesopotamia, which connected the Tigris with the Euphrates, in the excavation of which the Jewish captives were probably employed.
Chedorlaomer @ (= Khudur
- Lagamar of the inscriptions), king of Elam. Many centuries before the age of Abraham, Canaan and even the Sinaitic peninsula had been conquered by Babylonian kings, and in the time of Abraham himself Babylonia was ruled by a dynasty which claimed sovereignity over Syria and Palestine. The kings of the dynasty bore names which were not Babylonian, but at once South Arabic and Hebrew. The most famous king of the dynasty was Khammu-rabi, who united Babylonia under one rule, and made Babylon its capital. When he ascended the throne, the country was under the suzerainty of the Elamites, and was divided into two kingdoms, that of Babylon (the Biblical Shinar) and that of Larsa (the Biblical Ellasar). The king of Larsa was Eri
- Aku ("the servant of the moon-god"), the son of an Elamite prince, Kudur
- Mabug, who is entitled "the father of the land of the Amorites." A recently discovered tablet enumerates among the enemies of Khammu-rabi, Kudur
- Lagamar ("the servant of the goddess Lagamar") or Chedorlaomer, Eri
- Aku or Arioch, and Tudkhula or Tidal. Khammu-rabi, whose name is also read Ammi-rapaltu or Amraphel by some scholars, succeeded in overcoming Eri
- Aku and driving the Elamites out of Babylonia. Assur-bani-pal, the last of the Assyrian conquerors, mentions in two inscriptions that he took Susa 1635 years after Kedor-nakhunta, king of Elam, had conquered Babylonia. It was in the year B.C. 660 that Assur-bani-pal took Susa.
Cheek @ Smiting on the cheek was accounted a grievous injury and insult kjv@Job:16:10; kjv@Lamentations:3:30; kjv@Micah:5:1). The admonition kjv@Luke:6:29), "Unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other," means simply, "Resist not evil" kjv@Matthew:5:39; kjv@1Peter:2:19-23). kjv@Psalms:3:7 = that God had deprived his enemies of the power of doing him injury.
Cheese @ (A.S. cese). This word occurs three times in the Authorized Version as the translation of three different Hebrew words:
(1.) kjv@1Samuel:17:18, "ten cheeses;" i.e., ten sections of curd.
(2.) kjv@2Samuel:17:29, "cheese of kine" = perhaps curdled milk of kine. The Vulgate version reads "fat calves."
(3.) kjv@Job:10:10, curdled milk is meant by the word.
Chemarim @ black, kjv@Zephaniah:1:4; rendered "idolatrous priests" in kjv@2Kings:23:5, and "priests" in kjv@Hosea:10:5). Some derive this word from the Assyrian Kamaru, meaning "to throw down," and interpret it as describing the idolatrous priests who prostrate themselves before the idols. Others regard it as meaning "those who go about in black," or "ascetics."
Chemosh @ the destroyer, subduer, or fish-god, the god of the Moabites kjv@Numbers:21:29; kjv@Jeremiah:48:7 kjv@Jeremiah:48:13, 46). The worship of this god, "the abomination of Moab," was introduced at Jerusalem by Solomon (kjvKings:11:7), but was abolished by Josiah ( kjv@2Kings:23:13). On the "Moabite Stone" (q.v.), Mesha ( kjv@2Kings:3:5) ascribes his victories over the king of Israel to this god, "And Chemosh drove him before my sight."
Chenaanah @ merchant.
(1.) A Benjamite ( kjv@1Chronicles:7:10).
(2.) The father of Zedekiah (kjvKings:22:11-24).
Chenaiah @ whom Jehovah hath made. "Chief of the Levites," probably a Kohathite ( kjv@1Chronicles:15:22), and therefore not the same as mentioned in 26:29.
Chephirah @ village, one of the four cities of the Gibeonitish Hivites with whom Joshua made a league (9:17). It belonged to Benjamin. It has been identified with the modern Kefireh, on the west confines of Benjamin, about 2 miles west of Ajalon and 11 from Jerusalem.
Cherethim @ kjv@Ezekiel:25:16), more frequently Cherethites, the inhabitants of Southern Philistia, the Philistines kjv@Zephaniah:2:5). The Cherethites and the Pelethites were David's life-guards ( kjv@1Samuel:30:14; kjv@2Samuel:8:18 kjv@2Samuel:20:7 kjv@2Samuel:20:23 kjv@2Samuel:23:23 ). This name is by some interpreted as meaning "Cretans," and by others "executioners," who were ready to execute the king's sentence of death kjv@Genesis:37:36, marg.; kjvKings:2:25).
Cherith @ a cutting; separation; a gorge, a torrent-bed or winter-stream, a "brook," in whose banks the prophet Elijah hid himself during the early part of the three years' drought (kjvKings:17:3-5). It has by some been identified as the Wady el
- Kelt behind Jericho, which is formed by the junction of many streams flowing from the mountains west of Jericho. It is dry in summer. Travellers have described it as one of the wildest ravines of this wild region, and peculiarly fitted to afford a secure asylum to the persecuted. But if the prophet's interview with Ahab was in Samaria, and he thence journeyed toward the east, it is probable that he crossed Jordan and found refuge in some of the ravines of Gilead. The "brook" is said to have been "before Jordan," which probably means that it opened toward that river, into which it flowed. This description would apply to the east as well as to the west of Jordan. Thus Elijah's hiding-place may have been the Jermuk, in the territory of the half-tribe of Manasseh.
Cherub @ plural cherubim, the name of certain symbolical figures frequently mentioned in Scripture. They are first mentioned in connection with the expulsion of our first parents from Eden kjv@Genesis:3:24). There is no intimation given of their shape or form. They are next mentioned when Moses was commanded to provide furniture for the tabernacle kjv@Exodus:25:17-20 kjv@Exodus:26:1-31). God promised to commune with Moses "from between the cherubim" (25:22). This expression was afterwards used to denote the Divine abode and presence kjv@Numbers:7:89; kjv@1Samuel:4:4; kjv@Isaiah:37:16; kjv@Psalms:80:1 kjv@Psalms:99:1). In Ezekiel's vision (10:1-20) they appear as living creatures supporting the throne of God. From Ezekiel's description of them (1;10; 41:18-19), they appear to have been compound figures, unlike any real object in nature; artificial images possessing the features and properties of several animals. Two cherubim were placed on the mercy-seat of the ark; two of colossal size overshadowed it in Solomon's temple. Ezekiel (1:4-14) speaks of four; and this number of "living creatures" is mentioned in kjv@Revelation:4:6. Those on the ark are called the "cherubim of glory" kjv@Hebrews:9:5), i.e., of the Shechinah, or cloud of glory, for on them the visible glory of God rested. They were placed one at each end of the mercy-seat, with wings stretched upward, and their faces "toward each other and toward the mercy-seat." They were anointed with holy oil, like the ark itself and the other sacred furniture. The cherubim were symbolical. They were intended to represent spiritual existences in immediate contact with Jehovah. Some have regarded them as symbolical of the chief ruling power by which God carries on his operations in providence kjv@Psalms:18:10). Others interpret them as having reference to the redemption of men, and as symbolizing the great rulers or ministers of the church. Many other opinions have been held regarding them which need not be referred to here. On the whole, it seems to be most satisfactory to regard the interpretation of the symbol to be variable, as is the symbol itself. Their office was,
(1) on the expulsion of our first parents from Eden, to prevent all access to the tree of life; and
(2) to form the throne and chariot of Jehovah in his manifestation of himself on earth. He dwelleth between and sitteth on the cherubim ( kjv@1Samuel:4:4; kjv@Psalms:80:1; kjv@Ezekiel:1:26-28).
Chesalon @ strength; confidence, a place on the border of Judah, on the side of Mount Jearim kjv@Joshua:15:10); probably identified with the modern village of Kesla, on the western mountains of Judah.
Chesed @ gain, the son of Nahor kjv@Genesis:22:22).
Chesil @ ungodly, a town in the south of Judah kjv@Joshua:15:30); probably the same as Bethul (19:4) and Bethuel ( kjv@1Chronicles:4:30); now Khelasa.
Chest @ (Heb. 'aron, generally rendered "ark"), the coffer into which the contributions for the repair of the temple were put ( kjv@2Kings:12:9-10; kjv@2Chronicals:24:8-10, 11). In kjv@Genesis:50:26 it is rendered "coffin." In kjv@Ezekiel:27:24 a different Hebrew word, genazim (plur.), is used. It there means "treasure-chests."
Chestnut tree @ (Heb. 'armon; i.e., "naked"), mentioned in connection with Jacob's artifice regarding the cattle kjv@Genesis:30:37). It is one of the trees of which, because of its strength and beauty, the Assyrian empire is likened kjv@Ezekiel:31:8; R.V., "plane trees"). It is probably the Oriental plane tree (Platanus orientalis) that is intended. It is a characteristic of this tree that it annually sheds its outer bark, becomes "naked." The chestnut tree proper is not a native of Palestine.
Chesulloth @ fertile places; the loins, a town of Issachar, on the slopes of some mountain between Jezreel and Shunem kjv@Joshua:19:18). It has been identified with Chisloth-tabor, 2 1/2 miles to the west of Mount Tabor, and north of Jezreel; now Iksal.
Chezib @ deceitful, a town where Shelah, the son of Judah, was born kjv@Genesis:38:5). Probably the same as Achzib (q.v.).
Chidon @ dart, the name of the threshing-floor at which the death of Uzzah took place ( kjv@1Chronicles:13:9). In the parallel passage in Samuel ( kjv@2Samuel:6:6) it is called "Nachon's threshing-floor." It was a place not far north-west from Jerusalem.
Chief of the three @ a title given to Adino the Eznite, one of David's greatest heroes ( kjv@2Samuel:23:8); also called Jashobeam ( kjv@1Chronicles:11:11).
Chief priest @
See PRIEST.
Chiefs of Asia @ "Asiarchs," the title given to certain wealthy persons annually appointed to preside over the religious festivals and games in the various cities of proconsular Asia kjv@Acts:19:31). Some of these officials appear to have been Paul's friends.
Child @ This word has considerable latitude of meaning in Scripture. Thus Joseph is called a child at the time when he was probably about sixteen years of age kjv@Genesis:37:3); and Benjamin is so called when he was above thirty years (44:20). Solomon called himself a little child when he came to the kingdom (kjvKings:3:7). The descendants of a man, however remote, are called his children; as, "the children of Edom," "the children of Moab," "the children of Israel." In the earliest times mothers did not wean their children till they were from thirty months to three years old; and the day on which they were weaned was kept as a festival day kjv@Genesis:21:8; kjv@Exodus:2:7-9; kjv@1Samuel:1:22-24; kjv@Matthew:21:16). At the age of five, children began to learn the arts and duties of life under the care of their fathers kjv@Deuteronomy:6:20-25 kjv@Deuteronomy:11:19). To have a numerous family was regarded as a mark of divine favour kjv@Genesis:11:30 kjv@Genesis:30:1; kjv@1Samuel:2:5; kjv@2Samuel:6:23; kjv@Psalms:127:3 kjv@Psalms:128:3). Figuratively the name is used for those who are ignorant or narrow-minded kjv@Matthew:11:16; kjv@Luke:7:32; kjv@1Corinthians:13:11). "When I was a child, I spake as a child." "Brethren, be not children in understanding" ( kjv@1Corinthians:14:20). "That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro" kjv@Ephesians:4:14). Children are also spoken of as representing simplicity and humility kjv@Matthew:19:13-15; kjv@Mark:10:13-16; kjv@Luke:18:15-17). Believers are "children of light" kjv@Luke:16:8; kjv@1Thessalonians:5:5) and "children of obedience" ( kjv@1Peter:1:14).
Chileab @ protected by the father, David's second son by Abigail ( kjv@2Samuel:3:3); called also Daniel ( kjv@1Chronicles:3:1). He seems to have died when young.
Chilion @ the pining one, the younger son of Elimelech and Naomi, and husband of Orpah, Ruth's sister kjv@Ruth:1:2 kjv@Ruth:4:9).
Chilmad @ a place or country unknown which, along with Sheba and Asshur, traded with Tyre kjv@Ezekiel:27:23).
Chimham @ pining, probably the youngest son of Barzillai the Gileadite ( kjv@2Samuel:19:37-40). The "habitation of Chimham" kjv@Jeremiah:41:17) was probably an inn or khan, which is the proper meaning of the Hebrew geruth, rendered "habitation", established in later times in his possession at Bethlehem, which David gave to him as a reward for his loyalty in accompanying him to Jerusalem after the defeat of Absalom (kjvKings:2:7). It has been supposed that, considering the stationary character of Eastern institutions, it was in the stable of this inn or caravanserai that our Saviour was born kjv@Luke:2:7).
Chinnereth @ lyre, the singular form of the word kjv@Deuteronomy:3:17; kjv@Joshua:19:35), which is also used in the plural form, Chinneroth, the name of a fenced city which stood near the shore of the lake of Galilee, a little to the south of Tiberias. The town seems to have given its name to a district, as appears from kjvKings:15:20, where the plural form of the word is used. The Sea of Chinnereth kjv@Numbers:34:11; kjv@Joshua:13:27), or of Chinneroth kjv@Joshua:12:3), was the "lake of Gennesaret" or "sea of Tiberias" kjv@Deuteronomy:3:17; kjv@Joshua:11:2). Chinnereth was probably an ancient Canaanitish name adopted by the Israelites into their language.
Chios @ mentioned in kjv@Acts:20:15, an island in the Aegean Sea, about 5 miles distant from the mainland, having a roadstead, in the shelter of which Paul and his companions anchored for a night when on his third missionary return journey. It is now called Scio.
Chisleu @ the name adopted from the Babylonians by the Jews after the Captivity for the third civil, or ninth ecclesiastical, month kjv@Nehemiah:1:1; kjv@Zechariah:7:1). It corresponds nearly with the moon in November.
Chittim @ or Kittim, a plural form kjv@Genesis:10:4), the name of a branch of the descendants of Javan, the "son" of Japheth. Balaam foretold kjv@Numbers:24:24) "that ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and afflict Eber." Daniel prophesied (11:30) that the ships of Chittim would come against the king of the north. It probably denotes Cyprus, whose ancient capital was called Kition by the Greeks. The references elsewhere made to Chittim kjv@Isaiah:23:1 kjv@Isaiah:23:12 kjv@Jeremiah:2:10; kjv@Ezekiel:27:6) are to be explained on the ground that while the name originally designated the Phoenicians only, it came latterly to be used of all the islands and various settlements on the sea-coasts which they had occupied, and then of the people who succeeded them when the Phoenician power decayed. Hence it designates generally the islands and coasts of the Mediterranean and the races that inhabit them.
Chiun @ occurs only in kjv@Amos:5:26 (R.V. marg., "shrine"). The LXX. translated the word by Rhephan, which became corrupted into Remphan, as used by Stephen kjv@Acts:7:43; but R.V., "Rephan"). Probably the planet Saturn is intended by the name. Astrologers represented this planet as baleful in its influences, and hence the Phoenicians offered to it human sacrifices, especially children.
Chloe @ verdure, a female Christian ( kjv@1Corinthians:1:11), some of whose household had informed Paul of the divided state of the Corinthian church. Nothing is known of her.
Chor-ashan @ smoking furnace, one of the places where "David himself and his men were wont to haunt" ( kjv@1Samuel:30:30-31). It is probably identical with Ashan kjv@Joshua:15:42 kjv@Joshua:19:7), a Simeonite city in the Negeb, i.e., the south, belonging to Judah. The word ought, according to another reading, to be "Bor-ashan."
Chorazin @ named along with Bethsaida and Capernaum as one of the cities in which our Lord's "mighty works" were done, and which was doomed to woe because of signal privileges neglected kjv@Matthew:11:21; kjv@Luke:10:13). It has been identified by general consent with the modern Kerazeh, about 2 1/2 miles up the Wady Kerazeh from Capernaum; i.e., Tell Hum.
Chosen @ spoken of warriors kjv@Exodus:15:4; kjv@Judges:20:16), of the Hebrew nation kjv@Psalms:105:43; kjv@Deuteronomy:7:7), of Jerusalem as the seat of the temple (kjvKings:11:13). Christ is the "chosen" of God kjv@Isaiah:42:1); and the apostles are "chosen" for their work kjv@Acts:10:41). It is said with regard to those who do not profit by their opportunities that "many are called, but few are chosen" kjv@Matthew:20:16). (
See ELECTION.)
Chozeba @ ( kjv@1Chronicles:4:22), the same as Chezib and Achzib, a place in the lowlands of Judah kjv@Genesis:38:5; kjv@Joshua:15:44).
Christ @ anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered "Messiah" (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that he was anointed or consecrated to his great redemptive work as Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the Christ kjv@Acts:17:3 kjv@Acts:18:5; kjv@Matthew:22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus spoken of by Isaiah (61:1), and by Daniel (9:24-26), who styles him "Messiah the Prince." The Messiah is the same person as "the seed of the woman" kjv@Genesis:3:15), "the seed of Abraham" kjv@Genesis:22:18), the "Prophet like unto Moses" kjv@Deuteronomy:18:15), "the priest after the order of Melchizedek" kjv@Psalms:110:4), "the rod out of the stem of Jesse" kjv@Isaiah:11:1 kjv@Isaiah:11:10), the "Immanuel," the virgin's son kjv@Isaiah:7:14), "the branch of Jehovah" kjv@Isaiah:4:2), and "the messenger of the covenant" kjv@Malachi:3:1). This is he "of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write." The Old Testament Scripture is full of prophetic declarations regarding the Great Deliverer and the work he was to accomplish. Jesus the Christ is Jesus the Great Deliverer, the Anointed One, the Saviour of men. This name denotes that Jesus was divinely appointed, commissioned, and accredited as the Saviour of men kjv@Hebrews:5:4; kjv@Isaiah:11:2-4 kjv@Isaiah:49:6; kjv@John:5:37; kjv@Acts:2:22). To believe that "Jesus is the Christ" is to believe that he is the Anointed, the Messiah of the prophets, the Saviour sent of God, that he was, in a word, what he claimed to be. This is to believe the gospel, by the faith of which alone men can be brought unto God. That Jesus is the Christ is the testimony of God, and the faith of this constitutes a Christian ( kjv@1Corinthians:12:3; kjv@1John:5:1).
Christian @ the name given by the Greeks or Romans, probably in reproach, to the followers of Jesus. It was first used at Antioch. The names by which the disciples were known among themselves were "brethren," "the faithful," "elect," "saints," "believers." But as distinguishing them from the multitude without, the name "Christian" came into use, and was universally accepted. This name occurs but three times in the New Testament kjv@Acts:11:26 kjv@Acts:26:28; kjv@1Peter:4:16).
Christs, False @ Our Lord warned his disciples that they would arise kjv@Matthew:24:24). It is said that no fewer than twenty-four persons have at different times appeared (the last in 1682) pretending to be the Messiah of the prophets.
Chronicles @ the words of the days, (kjvKings:14:19; kjv@1Chronicles:27:24), the daily or yearly records of the transactions of the kingdom; events recorded in the order of time.
Chronicles of king David @ ( kjv@1Chronicles:27:24) were statistical state records; one of the public sources from which the compiler of the Books of Chronicles derived information on various public matters.
Chronicles, Books of @ The two books were originally one. They bore the title in the Massoretic Hebrew Dibre hayyamim, i.e., "Acts of the Days." This title was rendered by Jerome in his Latin version "Chronicon," and hence "Chronicles." In the Septuagint version the book is divided into two, and bears the title Paraleipomena, i.e., "things omitted," or "supplements", because containing many things omitted in the Books of Kings. The contents of these books are comprehended under four heads.
(1.) The first nine chapters of Book I. contain little more than a list of genealogies in the line of Israel down to the time of David.
(2.) The remainder of the first book contains a history of the reign of David.
(3.) The first nine chapters of Book II. contain the history of the reign of Solomon.
(4.) The remaining chapters of the second book contain the history of the separate kingdom of Judah to the time of the return from Babylonian Exile. The time of the composition of the Chronicles was, there is every ground to conclude, subsequent to the Babylonian Exile, probably between 450 and 435 B.C. The contents of this twofold book, both as to matter and form, correspond closely with this idea. The close of the book records the proclamation of Cyrus permitting the Jews to return to their own land, and this forms the opening passage of the Book of Ezra, which must be viewed as a continuation of the Chronicles. The peculiar form of the language, being Aramaean in its general character, harmonizes also with that of the books which were written after the Exile. The author was certainly contemporary with Zerubbabel, details of whose family history are given ( kjv@1Chronicles:3:19). The time of the composition being determined, the question of the authorship may be more easily decided. According to Jewish tradition, which was universally received down to the middle of the seventeenth century, Ezra was regarded as the author of the Chronicles. There are many points of resemblance and of contact between the Chronicles and the Book of Ezra which seem to confirm this opinion. The conclusion of the one and the beginning of the other are almost identical in expression. In their spirit and characteristics they are the same, showing thus also an identity of authorship. In their general scope and design these books are not so much historical as didactic. The principal aim of the writer appears to be to present moral and religious truth. He does not give prominence to political occurences, as is done in Samuel and Kings, but to ecclesiastical institutions. "The genealogies, so uninteresting to most modern readers, were really an important part of the public records of the Hebrew state. They were the basis on which not only the land was distributed and held, but the public services of the temple were arranged and conducted, the Levites and their descendants alone, as is well known, being entitled and first fruits set apart for that purpose." The "Chronicles" are an epitome of the sacred history from the days of Adam down to the return from Babylonian Exile, a period of about 3-500 years. The writer gathers up "the threads of the old national life broken by the Captivity." The sources whence the chronicler compiled his work were public records, registers, and genealogical tables belonging to the Jews. These are referred to in the course of the book ( kjv@1Chronicles:27:24 kjv@1Chronicles:29:29; kjv@2Chronicals:9:29 kjv@2Chronicals:12:15 kjv@2Chronicals:13:22 ; 20:34; 24:27; 26:22; 32:32; 33:18-19; 27:7; 35:25). There are in Chronicles, and the books of Samuel and Kings, forty parallels, often verbal, proving that the writer both knew and used these records ( kjv@1Chronicles:17:18; comp. kjv@2Samuel:7:18-20; kjv@1Chronicles:19; comp. kjv@2Samuel:10, etc.). As compared with Samuel and Kings, the Book of Chronicles omits many particulars there recorded ( kjv@2Samuel:6:20-23; 9; 11; 14-19, etc.), and includes many things peculiar to itself ( kjv@1Chronicles:12; 22; 23-26; 27; 28; 29, etc.). Twenty whole chapters, and twenty-four parts of chapters, are occupied with matter not found elsewhere. It also records many things in fuller detail, as (e.g.) the list of David's heroes ( kjv@1Chronicles:12:1-37), the removal of the ark from Kirjath-jearim to Mount Zion ( kjv@1Chronicles:13; 15:2-24; 16:4-43; comp. 2Samuel:6), Uzziah's leprosy and its cause ( kjv@2Chronicals:26:16-21; comp. kjv@2Kings:15:5), etc. It has also been observed that another peculiarity of the book is that it substitutes modern and more common expressions for those that had then become unusual or obsolete. This is seen particularly in the substitution of modern names of places, such as were in use in the writer's day, for the old names; thus Gezer ( kjv@1Chronicles:20:4) is used instead of Gob ( kjv@2Samuel:21:18), etc. The Books of Chronicles are ranked among the khethubim or hagiographa. They are alluded to, though not directly quoted, in the New Testament kjv@Hebrews:5:4; kjv@Matthew:12:42 kjv@Matthew:23:35; kjv@Luke:1:5 kjv@Luke:11:31 kjv@Luke:11:51).
Chronology @ is the arrangement of facts and events in the order of time. The writers of the Bible themselves do not adopt any standard era according to which they date events. Sometimes the years are reckoned, e.g., from the time of the Exodus kjv@Numbers:1:1 kjv@Numbers:33:38; kjvKings:6:1), and sometimes from the accession of kings (kjvKings:15:1,9, 25, 33, etc.), and sometimes again from the return from Exile kjv@Ezra:3:8). Hence in constructing a system of Biblecal chronology, the plan has been adopted of reckoning the years from the ages of the patriarchs before the birth of their first-born sons for the period from the Creation to Abraham. After this period other data are to be taken into account in determining the relative sequence of events. As to the patriarchal period, there are three principal systems of chronology:
(1) that of the Hebrew text,
(2) that of the Septuagint version, and
(3) that of the Samaritan Pentateuch, as seen in the scheme on the opposite page. The Samaritan and the Septuagint have considerably modified the Hebrew chronology. This modification some regard as having been wilfully made, and to be rejected. The same system of variations is observed in the chronology of the period between the Flood and Abraham. Thus: Hebrew Septuigant Samaritan From the birth of Arphaxad, 2 years after the Flood, to the birth of Terah. 220 1000 870 From the birth of Terah to the birth of Abraham. 130 70 72 The Septuagint fixes on seventy years as the age of Terah at the birth of Abraham, from kjv@Genesis:11:26; but a comparison of kjv@Genesis:11:32 and kjv@Acts:7:4 with kjv@Genesis:12:4 shows that when Terah died, at the age of two hundred and five years, Abraham was seventy-five years, and hence Terah must have been one hundred and thirty years when Abraham was born. Thus, including the two years from the Flood to the birth of Arphaxad, the period from the Flood to the birth of Abraham was three hundred and fifty-two years. The next period is from the birth of Abraham to the Exodus. This, according to the Hebrew, extends to five hundred and five years. The difficulty here is as to the four hundred and thirty years mentioned kjv@Exodus:12:40-41; kjv@Galatians:3:17. These years are regarded by some as dating from the covenant with Abraham Genesis:15), which was entered into soon after his sojourn in Egypt; others, with more probability, reckon these years from Jacob's going down into Egypt. (
See EXODUS.) In modern times the systems of Biblical chronology that have been adopted are chiefly those of Ussher and Hales. The former follows the Hebrew, and the latter the Septuagint mainly. Archbishop Ussher's (died 1656) system is called the short chronology. It is that given on the margin of the Authorized Version, but is really of no authority, and is quite uncertain. Ussher Hales B.C. B.C. Creation 4004 5411 Flood 2348 3155 Abram leaves Haran 1921 2078 Exodus:1491 1648 Destruction of the Temple 588 586 To show at a glance the different ideas of the date of the creation, it may be interesting to note the following: From Creation to 1894. According to Ussher, 5,898; Hales, 7,305; Zunz (Hebrew reckoning), 5,882; Septuagint (Perowne), 7,305; Rabbinical, 5-654; Panodorus, 7,387; Anianus, 7,395; Constantinopolitan, 7,403; Eusebius, 7,093; Scaliger, 5,844; Dionysius (from whom we take our Christian era), 7,388; Maximus, 7,395; Syncellus and Theophanes, 7,395; Julius Africanus, 7,395; Jackson, 7,320.
Chrysoprasus @ golden leek, a precious stone of the colour of leek's juice, a greenish-golden colour kjv@Revelation:21:20).
Chub @ the name of a people in alliance with Egypt in the time of Nebuchadnezzar. The word is found only in kjv@Ezekiel:30:5. They were probably a people of Northern Africa, or of the lands near Egypt in the south.
Chun @ one of the cities of Hadarezer, king of Syria. David procured brass (i.e., bronze or copper) from it for the temple ( kjv@1Chronicles:18:8). It is called Berothai in kjv@2Samuel:8:8; probably the same as Berothah in kjv@Ezekiel:47:16.
Church @ Derived probably from the Greek kuriakon (i.e., "the Lord's house"), which was used by ancient authors for the place of worship. In the New Testament it is the translation of the Greek word ecclesia, which is synonymous with the Hebrew kahal of the Old Testament, both words meaning simply an assembly, the character of which can only be known from the connection in which the word is found. There is no clear instance of its being used for a place of meeting or of worship, although in post-apostolic times it early received this meaning. Nor is this word ever used to denote the inhabitants of a country united in the same profession, as when we say the "Church of England," the "Church of Scotland," etc. We find the word ecclesia used in the following senses in the New Testament:
(1.) It is translated "assembly" in the ordinary classical sense kjv@Acts:19:32-39, 41).
(2.) It denotes the whole body of the redeemed, all those whom the Father has given to Christ, the invisible catholic church kjv@Ephesians:5:23-25, 27, 29; kjv@Hebrews:12:23).
(3.) A few Christians associated together in observing the ordinances of the gospel are an ecclesia kjv@Romans:16:5; kjv@Colossians:4:15).
(4.) All the Christians in a particular city, whether they assembled together in one place or in several places for religious worship, were an ecclesia. Thus all the disciples in Antioch, forming several congregations, were one church kjv@Acts:13:1); so also we read of the "church of God at Corinth" ( kjv@1Corinthians:1:2), "the church at Jerusalem" kjv@Acts:8:1), "the church of Ephesus" kjv@Revelation:2:1), etc.
(5.) The whole body of professing Christians throughout the world ( kjv@1Corinthians:15:9; kjv@Galatians:1:13; kjv@Matthew:16:18) are the church of Christ. The church visible "consists of all those throughout the world that profess the true religion, together with their children." It is called "visible" because its members are known and its assemblies are public. Here there is a mixture of "wheat and chaff," of saints and sinners. "God has commanded his people to organize themselves into distinct visible ecclesiastical communities, with constitutions, laws, and officers, badges, ordinances, and discipline, for the great purpose of giving visibility to his kingdom, of making known the gospel of that kingdom, and of gathering in all its elect subjects. Each one of these distinct organized communities which is faithful to the great King is an integral part of the visible church, and all together constitute the catholic or universal visible church." A credible profession of the true religion constitutes a person a member of this church. This is "the kingdom of heaven," whose character and progress are set forth in the parables recorded in kjv@Matthew:13. The children of all who thus profess the true religion are members of the visible church along with their parents. Children are included in every covenant God ever made with man. They go along with their parents kjv@Genesis:9:9-17 kjv@Genesis:12:1-3 kjv@Genesis:17:7 ; kjv@Exodus:20:5; kjv@Deuteronomy:29:10-13). Peter, on the day of Pentecost, at the beginning of the New Testament dispensation, announces the same great principle. "The promise just as to Abraham and his seed the promises were made is unto you, and to your children" kjv@Acts:2:38-39). The children of believing parents are "holy", i.e., are "saints", a title which designates the members of the Christian church ( kjv@1Corinthians:7:14). (
See BAPTISM.) The church invisible "consists of the whole number of the elect that have been, are, or shall be gathered into one under Christ, the head thereof." This is a pure society, the church in which Christ dwells. It is the body of Christ. it is called "invisible" because the greater part of those who constitute it are already in heaven or are yet unborn, and also because its members still on earth cannot certainly be distinguished. The qualifications of membership in it are internal and are hidden. It is unseen except by Him who "searches the heart." "The Lord knoweth them that are his" ( kjv@2Timothy:2:19). The church to which the attributes, prerogatives, and promises appertaining to Christ's kingdom belong, is a spiritual body consisting of all true believers, i.e., the church invisible.
(1.) Its unity. God has ever had only one church on earth. We sometimes speak of the Old Testament Church and of the New Testament church, but they are one and the same. The Old Testament church was not to be changed but enlarged kjv@Isaiah:49:13-23 kjv@Isaiah:60:1-14). When the Jews are at length restored, they will not enter a new church, but will be grafted again into "their own olive tree" kjv@Romans:11:18-24; comp. kjv@Ephesians:2:11-22). The apostles did not set up a new organization. Under their ministry disciples were "added" to the "church" already existing kjv@Acts:2:47).
(2.) Its universality. It is the "catholic" church; not confined to any particular country or outward organization, but comprehending all believers throughout the whole world.
(3.) Its perpetuity. It will continue through all ages to the end of the world. It can never be destroyed. It is an "everlasting kindgdom."
Churl @ in kjv@Isaiah:32:5 (R.V. marg., "crafty"), means a deceiver. In kjv@1Samuel:25:3, the word churlish denotes a man that is coarse and ill-natured, or, as the word literally means, "hard." The same Greek word as used by the LXX. here is found in kjv@Matthew:25:24, and there is rendered "hard."
Chushan-rishathaim @ Cush of double wickedness, or governor of two presidencies, the king of Mesopotamia who oppressed Israel in the generation immediately following Joshua kjv@Judges:3:8). We learn from the Tell-el
- Amarna tablets that Palestine had been invaded by the forces of Aram-naharaim (A.V., "Mesopotamia") more than once, long before the Exodus, and that at the time they were written the king of Aram-naharaim was still intriguing in Canaan. It is mentioned among the countries which took part in the attack upon Egypt in the reign of Rameses III. (of the Twentieth Dynasty), but as its king is not one of the princes stated to have been conquered by the Pharaoh, it would seem that he did not actually enter Egypt. As the reign of Rameses III. corresponds with the Israelitish occupation of Canaan, it is probable that the Egyptian monuments refer to the oppression of the Israelites by Chushan-rishathaim. Canaan was still regarded as a province of Egypt, so that, in attacking it Chushan-rishathaim would have been considered to be attacking Egypt.
