CONGREGATION - C>@ - This describes the Hebrew people in its collective capacity under its peculiar aspect as a holy community, held together by religious rather than political bonds. Sometimes it is used in a broad sense as inclusive of foreign settlers, kjv@Exodus:12:19) but more properly as exclusively appropriate to the Hebrew element of the population. kjv@Numbers:15:15) The congregation was governed by the father or head of each family and tribe. The number of these representatives being inconveniently large for ordinary business, a further selection was made by Moses of 70, who formed a species of standing committee. kjv@Numbers:11:16) Occasionally indeed the whole body of people was assembled at the door of the tabernacle, hence usually called the tabernacle of the congregation. kjv@Numbers:10:3) The people were strictly bound by the acts of their representatives, even in cases where they disapproved of them. kjv@Joshua:9:18)

Congregation @ (Heb. kahal), the Hebrew people collectively as a holy community kjv@Numbers:15:15). Every circumcised Hebrew from twenty years old and upward was a member of the congregation. Strangers resident in the land, if circumcised, were, with certain exceptions kjv@Exodus:12:19; kjv@Numbers:9:14; kjv@Deuteronomy:23:1-3), admitted to the privileges of citizenship, and spoken of as members of the congregation kjv@Exodus:12:19; kjv@Numbers:9:14 kjv@Numbers:15:15). The congregation were summonded together by the sound of two silver trumpets, and they met at the door of the tabernacle kjv@Numbers:10:3). These assemblies were convened for the purpose of engaging in solemn religious services kjv@Exodus:12:27; kjv@Numbers:25:6; kjv@Joel:2:15), or of receiving new commandments kjv@Exodus:19:7-8). The elders, who were summonded by the sound of one trumpet kjv@Numbers:10:4), represented on various occasions the whole congregation kjv@Exodus:3:16 kjv@Exodus:12:21 kjv@Exodus:17:5 ; 24:1). After the conquest of Canaan, the people were assembled only on occasions of the highest national importance kjv@Judges:20; 2Chronicals:30:5 kjv@2Chronicals:34:29; kjv@1Samuel:10:17; kjv@2Samuel:5:1-5; kjvKings:12:20; kjv@2Kings:11:19 kjv@2Kings:21:24 kjv@2Kings:23:30 ). In subsequent times the congregation was represented by the Sanhedrim; and the name synagogue, applied in the Septuagint version exclusively to the congregation, came to be used to denote the places of worship established by the Jews. (
See CHURCH.) In kjv@Acts:13:43, where alone it occurs in the New Testament, it is the same word as that rendered "synagogue" (q.v.) in ver. 42, and is so rendered in ver. 43 in R.V.

Congregation, mount of the @ kjv@Isaiah:14:13), has been supposed to refer to the place where God promised to meet with his people kjv@Exodus:25:22 kjv@Exodus:29:42-43) i.e., the mount of the Divine presence, Mount Zion. But here the king of Babylon must be taken as expressing himself according to his own heathen notions, and not according to those of the Jews. The "mount of the congregation" will therefore in this case mean the northern mountain, supposed by the Babylonians to be the meeting-place of their gods. In the Babylonian inscriptions mention is made of a mountain which is described as "the mighty mountain of Bel, whose head rivals heaven, whose root is the holy deep." This mountain was regarded in their mythology as the place where the gods had their seat.
