EBRONAH. A station of the Israelites. Numb. xxxiii. 34.

EGYPT. A kingdom of Africa, and adjoining Asia on the east, according to the common division of the earth. It extends from north to south above six degrees, or three hundred and sixty miles; its breadth from west to east, is sometimes only a few miles, but towards the Mediterranean, it increases to ninety miles. This broader part is called the Delta, from the Greek letter which it resembles. The Nile rising in the mountainous country of Abyssinia, and increased by tributary streams, passes through Nubia, or Ethiopia, runs the whole length of Egypt, and dividing into several branches empties itself into the Mediterranean Sea. This river gradually rises on the fall of the tropical rains, and overflows the whole land of Egypt periodically, every year, which is the source of its amazing fertility. It begins to rise about the middle of June, in July overflows, and in September gradually decreases. At first the water is green for twenty or even for forty days; it then becomes reddish, from the water of Abyssinia passing through a red soil having mingled with the other. The south of Egypt is exceeding rocky; and the land from Syene confined to the banks of the river. The Delta is a vast level plain interspersed with villages surrounded by Date trees. Here grow in rich abundance Indian corn, fruits and vegetables of the richest kinds. This country is called in Hebrew Mizraim, after the name of a son of Ham, by whose descendants it was first peopled. It is also called "the land of Ham ;" and hence Wells supposes that Ham settled and died here. In the time of Abraham it had become populous; and its inhabitants are celebrated for their learning in the time of Moses. The Greeks derived their knowledge chiefly from Egypt. The kings of Egypt were rich and powerful, in the days of Jacob; and from the history of Joseph we learn, that the people paid to Pharaoh, a portion of the produce of their land, the priests only being excepted. It was in this country where the Israelites were so long and grievously oppressed, and where so many miracles were wrought to effect their deliverance, and to punish their oppressors; and it was also here that Joseph, and Mary, with the infant Saviour found an asylum from the cruelty of Herod. This kingdom was conquered by Alexander, and from that period to this has never had a native prince to reign over it, On the subversion of the Greek empire, it was seized by the Caliphs, and is still subject to the Turks. The present inhabitants are the Cophts, or native Egyptians; the Fullahs, or husbandmen; perhaps the descendants of Phul; and the Arabs and Turks. The inhabitants of this country were given up to the vilest idolatry from remote antiquity; and after the country became christian they retained their gross notions of Deity, corrupted the gospel by superstitious practices; and here monkery had its origin.

EGYPT, RIVER OF. This was the limit of Judea towards Egypt, and is justly thought to be a stream near Rhinocalura.

EKRON. One of the five cities of the Philistines. Josh. xv. 45. 1 Sam. vi. 17. It was given to the tribe of Judah, but not taken. This was the last of the five cities north, lying on the north border of Judah. Josh. xv. 11. ELAM. see Persia.

ELISHAH. A son of Javan, who was probably seated in the part of Asia Minor called Æolia; and in this part we find Tarshish, Chittim, and Dodanim or Rodanim. Gen. x. 4. Some of his descendants passed over from the continent to Elis in Peloponnesus, and gave their name to it.

ELOTH. A place of importance near Ezion-geber, on the shore of the Red Sea in the land of Edom, Numb. xxxiii. 35. Deut. ii. 8. This must have been a city, and probably more inland than the sea-port called Ezion-geber. If it be the same place as was afterwards called Elana, and Eloth, it was situated at the north-west point of the Elonitic Gulf, the top of which is divided by a projection of land into the sea; and on the eastern bay stands KolI think it probable that this place was a kind of barrier to Ezion-geber; for whoever took Eloth, took also the other. Solomon made a navy at Ezion-geber, and is said to go also to Eloth. 2 Chron. viii. 17. King Azariah restored it to Judah, 2 Kings xiv. 22. In the reign of Ahaz the Syrians took this city, and of course deprived the Jews of the trade of the east. This place and Ezion-geber, were the inlet of all the trade of Arabia, and probably of India, to both which countries Solomon and other kings sent ships.

ELONBETH-HANAN. A town in the tribe of Dan. Josh. xix. 43. 1 Kings iv. 9.

EMMAUS. After our Lord's resurrection two of the disciples were going to this village, which was seven miles from Jerusalem, to whom he appeared, conversed with them, and explained the writings of Moses and the prophets. Luke xxiv. 13–35. It is said that this village was afterwards made a city and a colony, and called Nicopolis.

ENAM. A city of Judah, south, adjoining to Edom. Josh. xv. 34. Also a place mentioned Gen. xxxviii. 21. where Judah committed incest with his daughter-in-law. These places were so named from the fountains with which they were favoured.

ENDOR. A city of Manasseh, Josh. xvii. 1. but within the bounds of Issachar. In the time of Eusebius it was a large city, about four miles to the south of mount Tabor. It is famous for the necromancer whom Saul consulted, 1 Sam. xxviii. 7. and for the victory over Jabin. Ps. lxxxiii. 10.

EN-EGLAIM. A place mentioned Ezek. xlvii. 10. Eglaim being a city of Moab, according to Eusebius, situ

ated about eight miles south of Ar, perhaps En-eglaim was at no great distance, on the eastern shore of the sea of

Sodom.

EN-GANNIM. A city of Judah, Josh. xv. 34. Also one in Issachar, Josh. xix. 21. & xxi. 29.

EN-GEDI. A city in the desert of Judah, Josh. xv. 62. It was also called Hazezon-tamar, 2 Chron. xx. 2. from
the palm-trees which grew here. The desert is mentioned, 1 Sam. xxiv. 2. and its vineyards, Cant. i. 14. D'Anville
places it south of Jericho, on a stream which flows into the Dead Sea.

EN-MISHPAT. see Kadesh.

EN-RIMMON. A city of the tribe of Judah, Josh, xv. 32. & xix. 7. 1 Chron. iv. 32.
EN-ROGEL. A town of Judah, Josh. xv. 7. and En-shemesh, which is noticed in the same verse.

Both were

on the confines of Judah and Benjamin; but what river is referred to I know not.
EN-TAPPUAH. A city in the boundary of Manasseh, and possessed by that tribe; but the land adjoining be-
longed to the Ephraimites. Josh. xvii. 7, 8.

EPHESUS. A city of Asia Minor, on the river Cayster, about five miles from the sea, in the province of Lydia.
It was chief of the Ionian cities; and is much famed for its temple and image of Diana, whom all Asia worshipped.
The temple is said to have been four hundred feet long, two hundred feet broad, and supported by one hundred and
twenty-seven pillars of marble, each seventy-feet in height; and twenty-seven of them most curiously wrought,
and all the rest polished. The model of it was contrived by Ctesiphon; and two hundred years elapsed before it
was completed. This temple was burnt the day that Socrates was poisoned; and again when Alexander was born;
but rebuilt by the Ephesians. This is accounted one of the seven wonders of the world. Here Paul preached, and
gathered a considerable christian society, to which he sent an epistle. Here many Jews dwelt, and enjoyed the
freedom of the city. The Greeks were ingenious, but addicted to magic, Acts xix. 19. John the apostle is said to
have resided and died here near the close of the first century. This city is addressed. Rev. ii. 1. This noble city
and her temple have long since perished, and only a few miserable huts amidst rubbish now remain.

EPHRAIM. A city in the confines of the land of Ephraim. 2 Chron. xiii. 19. It was famous for its fine wheat,
according to Josephus. Abijah obtaining a victory over Jeroboam took this city with Bethel and Jeshanah, Ano-
ther is mentioned to which our Lord went in the tribe of Benjamin, in the way to Jericho. John xi. 54.

ERECH. One of the cities built by Nimrod. Gen. x. 10. and is thought to be the same as the Arecca of Pto-
lemy, in Susiana; and from this city the Archevites, who were placed in Samaria, are supposed to be brought. Ezra

iv. 9.

ESHTAOL. A city belonging to the tribe of Dan. Judges xiii. 25. It is mentioned as a city of Judah. Josh.
xv. 33. Eusebius places it between Azotus and Askelon. The Arabs now call it Esdad, fifteen miles from Yebna.
ESHTEMOA. A city belonging to Judah. Josh. xxi, 14.

ESHTEMOH. A city in the mountains of Judah. Josh. xv. 50.

ETAM. A rock to which Samson betook himself, after having slain many of the Philistines. Judges xv. 8, 10.
It is thought to be near the modern Yebna. Also a city in the tribe of Judah, built by Rehoboam. 1 Chron. iv. 3, 32.
2 Chron. xi. 6.

ETHAM. A place mentioned, Exod. xiii. 20. to which the Israelites came on departing from Egypt. It lay on
the west side of the Red Sea, and seems to be given to the desert. Numb. xxxiii. 6.

ETHER. A town of the tribe of Simeon, Josh. xix. 7. but which belonged to that of Judah. Eusebius places
it near Malatham, in Daroma.

EUPHRATES. The great river, which formed the eastern limit of the kingdom of Israel. It rises in the north
part of mount Taurus, twenty or thirty miles from Erzeroum; and receives the waters of many streams in its course,
until united with the Tigris, they both become like a sea, in which are many islands, and they pour their waters
into the Persian Gulf. The course of the Euphrates is generally south-east; but in some places it turns westerly, ́
and approaches the Mediterranean, near Cilicia. The country lying between this river and the Tigris is called Me-
sopotamia, and is generally flat and very fertile.

EZEM. A town in the tribe of Simeon, 1 Chron. iv. 29. and is the same as is mentioned. Josh. xix. 3.
EZION-GEBER. A sea-port on the Red Sea, whence Solomon sent ships to Ophir. See Eloth.

GADARA. The inhabitants of this city and the district belonging to it are mentioned, Mark v. 1. Luke viii.
22, 26, 37. In Mat. viii. 28. where the same history is related, they are called Gergesenes, as Wells thinks from a
city called Gergesa; but some copies read there Gadarenes. This city and country was on the east side of the
Lake of Tiberias, and one of the cities belonging to the district called Decapolis, or Perca. Some think this was
the original seat of the Girgasites. The hot baths of this city are celebrated by Epiphany. The inhabitants were
chiefly Gentiles; and on losing their swine prayed our Lord to depart from their coasts.

GALATIA. A province of Asia Minor, and so called from the Gauls, who according to Strabo, wandering from
their own country, under a leader, named Leonorus, settled here. It was bounded on the west by Phrygia, on the
east by the river Halys, on the north by Paphlagonia, and on the south by Lycaonia. Its chief cities were Ancyra,
Tavium, and Pessinemtum; and it is possible that the christian churches might be in these cities, to which Paul
directed his excellent epistle.

GALILEE. The northern division of the Holy Land, which contained the tribes of Issachar, Zebulon, Naphtali,
Asher with a part of Dan, and Perca, beyond the Jordan. It was bounded by Lebanon on the north, by Phoenicia
on the west, by Samaria on the south, and by the Jordan east. The Jews divided it into the Upper and Lower Galilee ;
the Upper abounded in mountains, and was also called Galilee of the Gentiles, because its inhabitants were a mix-
ture of Egyptians, Arabians, and Phoenicians. Mat. iv. 15. The lower was called the great field, because it was a
champaign country. Galilee was very populous and the people very rich. Josephus reckons up two hundred and four
cities and towns; and its yearly tribute was two hundred talents. Both Nazareth and Capernaum were in Galilee ;
hence our Lord is called a Galilean. Mat. xxvi. 69. In this country our Lord preached and taught more than in
Judea; and one reason might be the state of the people; and another, that he was out of the power of the priests
of Jerusalem. Provincial accents and words obtained here, and Peter was known by his language to be a Galilean.
Mat. xxvi. 73.

GALLIM. A city of Benjamin abounding in fountains. 1 Sam. xxv. 44. Isa. x. 30. It was not far from Ana-

thoth.

GAREB. A hill near Jerusalem, and is mentioned with Goath, to which the measuring line was to be extended
on rebuilding the city. Jer. xxxi. 39.

GATH. An ancient city of the Philistines. Josh. xi. 22. This city was taken from the Philistines together
with Jabneh and Ashdod by king Uzziah. 2 Chron xxvi. 6. This was a royal city, and Achish the king of it, had
the region as far as to Ziklag subject to him. 1 Sam. xxvii. 5, 6. This city lay to the east of Ekron.

GATH or GITTAH-HEPHER. A city in the tribe of Zebulon. Josh. xix. 13. This was the birth-place of the
prophet Jonah, and according to Jerome was in Galilee, not far from Sephoris, or Diocæsarea, the metropolis of
Galilee.

GATH-RIMMON. A city of the Danites. Josh. xix. 45. According to Jerome it was about ten miles south of
Lydda. Josh. xxi. 24. 1 Chron. vi. 69.

GAZA. Another of the chief cities of the Philistines. It was situated on the most southern point of the land
A new city was built,
of Canaan, on the sea-coast, strongly fortified, and was a defence to Canaan against Egypt. Alexander besieged
and took it, after considerable difficulty; and having dismantled it, left it in a ruinous state.
according to Strabo, nearer the sea than the old one, and he calls the old one "the desert," which agrees with
Acts viii. 26. Gaza was a great mart for trade; the country around it fertile as it continues to be, in a very high
degree. The date-tree flourishes and yields its fruit; olives abound, and vineyards are cultivated. This city was
the scene of Samson's exploits. Judges xvi. 1-3. Here he was brought, when he had lost his strength; and here
he ended his days, pulling down upon himself and the assembly, the temple of Dagon. Judges xvi. 21-31.

GEBAL. A country mentioned in connexion with Ammon, Ps. lxxxiii. 7. and was most probably south-east of
the land of the Ammonites. Also a city on the shore of the Mediterranean, Ezek. xxvii. 9; which is with high
probability thought to be the city called by the Greeks Biblos. The people are mentioned as wise, and as calkers to
Tyre. Its modern name is Jebilee, or Gebilee; and Maundrel describes it as in ruins showing its ancient greatness.
GEHINNOM..The valley of Hinnom, or "the valley of the son of Hinnom," a valley adjoining Jerusalem
on the east, and either a part of, or near to the valley of Kidron. It was infamous for the idolatrous rites observed
there, children being sacrificed to Moloch. The place in the valley where the idol stood is called Tophet, 2 Kings
xxiii. 10. Jer. vii. 31, 32. from the beating of drums, to drown the cries of the children. From Gehinnom, the
Greeks formed Gehenna, which occurs Mat. v. 22, 29, 30. x. 28. xviii. 9. & xxiii. 15, 33. Mark ix. 43, 45, 47. Luke
xii. 5. James iii. 6. Good king Josiah, to render this place for ever abominable, made a common sewer of it, where
all the filth and carcases of Jerusalem were cast; and where a continual fire was kept up to burn them; for which
reason the Jews, called the state of future punishment by this name, denoting a fire unextinguishable.
GELILOTH. A place on the confines of Judah and Benjamin, Josh. xviii. 17. It was near to Gilgal. Josh.

GENESARETH. A lake in Galilée, called also the lake of Cinneroth. Luke v. 1, Mark i. 16.-Josh. xiii. 27.
Pliny describes this lake as six miles broad and twenty long. Josephus mentions two hundred and thirty vessels on
this lake navigated by four men each. It was surrounded by pleasant towns; on the east by Julias and Hippo; on
the south by Taricheas; and on the west by Tiberias. The land or region of Genesareth, is described as exceed-
ingly fertile by several writers, Mark vi. 53.

GERAR. A royal city of the Philistines, Gen. xxvi. 1. It was situated in the south-west angle of the land of
Canaan, Gen. x. 19. and at no great distance from Gaza. In the land belonging to this city Abraham sojourned.
Gen. xx. 1. The name of its king was Abimelech, who treated Abraham with liberality.

GERIZIM. A mountain near Shechem. Deut. xi. 29. & xxvii. 12. Josh. viii. 33. It was north of mount Ebal.
The Samaritans contend that the blessings were put on this mountain, and the curses on Ebal; but the Jews hold
the opposite opinion. The blessings and curses were most probably read in the valley between both.

GETHSEMANE. A garden beyond the brook Kidron, at the foot of the mount of Olives, and so called from
the wine presses in it. Mat. xxvi. 36.

GIBEAH. A large city of Benjamin. Judges xx. 10. Josh. xxi. 17. From 2 Kings xxiii. 8. it appears, that this
was on the north boundary of the kingdom of Judah, about five miles from Jerusalem. As it was the native place
of Saul, it is called Gibeah of Saul, as well as of Benjamin; and Saul made it the seat of his government. It was
in this city the concubine of the Levite had been abused, which led to a combination of the other tribes against
Benjamin, and this tribe was nearly destroyed. Judges xx. 1-48. Gibeah is the name of a city in the tribe of
Judah. Josh. xv. 57. 1 Chron. ii. 49.

GIBEON. This was an ancient city of Canaan, and large as it is said to be as a royal city. Josh. ix. 3—27. & x.
2. The same race of people inhabited Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim. Josh. ix, 17. We read of
the valley of Gibeon, Isa. xxviii. 21. and of the pool of Gibeon. 2 Sam. ii. 13. Jer. xli. 12. This city is said to be
five miles from Jerusalem.

GIBBETHON. A city of Dan. Josh. xix. 44. & xxi. 23. 1 Kings xv. 27.

GIHON. One of the rivers of Paradise, Gen. ii. 13. also a fountain near Jerusalem, 2 Chron. xxxii. 30. It was
near mount Zion on the west. Here Solomon was anointed king over Israel. 1 Kings i. 33.

GILBOA. A ridge of mountains north of Beth-shan, or Scythopolis, on which according to Jerome was a city
of the same name. These mountains are celebrated for the death of Saul and Jonathan, so pathetically lamented
by David. 1 Sam. xxxi. 1-13. 2 Sam. i. 17-27.

GILEAD. A heap or monument erected by Jacob and Laban, in testimony of a mutual covenant. Gen. xxxi.
47, 48. The hill on which it was erected was from hence called mount Gilead. Song iv. 1. & vi. 5, Jer. l. 19. It
lay east of the sea of Galilee, being part of the mountains which stretch from mount Lebanon, southward, and is
included in the mountainous district, called Trachonitis, which see. A city of Gilead is mentioned. Hos. vi, 8.

GILGAL. The name of the place where the Israelites encamped on their crossing the Jordan, about a mile
and a quarter from that river west, and between it and Jericho. This name was given because circumcision was
there renewed, and there a monument of the miracle of the passing the Jordan was erected. Josh. v. 2-9. Bethel,
Gilgal, and Mizpeh are mentioned as the places where Samuel administered justice. 1 Sam. vii. 16. It is thought
that there were here some school for religion. Judges ii. 1. Here Saul was crowned king. 1 Sam. x. 8. 2 Sam. xix,
15, 40.
Here sacrifices were offered. Hos. xii. 11. Another Gilgal is mentioned as near to Gerizim and Ebal. Deut.

xi. 30.

GILOH. A city of Judah. Josh. xv. 51.

GIMZO. A city of Judah, towards the south border. 2 Chron. xxvii. 18.

GIRGASITES. Are thought to have inhabited the east side of the lake of Galilee; and most probably the city
called Gergesa, not far from Gadara, which see.

GOB. The name of a place, where one of David's worthies slew the brother of Goliath. 2 Sam. xxi. 18, 19.
GOLAN. A city in Bashan given to the half-tribe of Manasseh. Deut. iv. 43. Josh, xxi. 27.

GOLGOTHA. The same as Calvary, comp. Luke xxiii. 33. Mat. xxvii. 33. Mark xv. 32. John xix. 17. Some
think it was thus called because the bones of malefactors were here interred; but others more justly because the
hill resembled in its form the human skull.

GOMORRAH. One of the cities of the plain, destroyed by fire from heaven. Gen. xix. 24. It is often men-
tioned in reference to this judgment.

GOSHEN. A city of Judah. Josh. xv. 50. A city in Egypt, which gave name to a district, where the descend-
ants of Jacob dwelt. Gen. xlv. 10. & xlvi. 34, &c. This was east of the Nile, and called by the seventy Goshen of
Arabia.

GÓZAN. The name of a river whereto the Israelites were carried captive. 2 Kings xvii. 6. & xviii. 2, &c. It
is thought to have been in Persia.

GREECE. In Hebrew is called Javan, and a part of it Ionia; Javan was a son of Japheth. Gen. x. 2, 4. It is
used in Daniel, to denote Macedonia, as a part of it, as well as Greece proper. It was famed for its learning and
arts above any other part of the world; and hence the Greeks boasted of their wisdom, and called all other nations
barbarians. But justly may it be said of them, in respect to religion, "professing to be wise they became fools,
and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of men and other objects." Here were many
christian churches, and still the Greeks profess the christian name..

GUDGODA. A station mentioned Deut. x. 7. and supposed to be the same as Horhagidgad. Numb. xxxiii. 32.

H

HACHILAH. A hill or mountain, where David secured himself from Saul. 1 Sam. xxiii. 19. & xxvi. 3. Ít was
in the south of Judah. See Ziph.

HADAD-RIMMON. This place is said to be in the valley of Megiddo, Zech. xii. 11. and the mourning may
refer to that for Josiah. see Megiddo.

HADRACH. As it is mentioned in connexion with Damascus, it was in Syria, Zech. ix. I. and is most probably
placed between Libanus and Anti-Libanus.

HALAH. A district or town of Assyria, where the captive Israelites were placed, 2 Kings xvii. 6. & xviii. 11.
The true situation is unknown.

HAMATH, LAND OR KINGDOM OF. It seems to have joined the small kingdom of Rehob, east, and to have ex-
tended a considérable distance north, on the Orontes. The city of Hamath is supposed to be the same which was
called by the Greeks Epiphania; and the territory must have extended from Lebanon south to the city north, and
from the Mediterranean Sea west, to the land of Damascus east. Ezek. xlvii. 17-20.

HAMOTH-DOR. A city of Naphtali. Josh. xv. 35. & xxi. 32. Many suppose that this is the same place as

Tiberias.

HAMMON. A town in Asher. Josh. xix. 28. Another in Naphtali. 1 Chron. vi. 61.

HANES. A city of Egypt, called by the Greeks Anusis. It is mentioned Isa. xxx. 4. and lay beyond Zoan,
which see.

HAPHRAIM. A city of Issachar. Josh. xix. 19.

HARAN. The city to which Terah, Abram, and Lot came after they left Ur of the Chaldees. Gen. xi. 27-32.
Here Terah died. It was situated in the north-west of Mesopotamia, on a river called by the same name in the
Greek writers, running into the Chaboras, as this does into the Euphrates. Here the Parthians conquered the Ro-
mans under Crassus, with an immense slaughter.

HAROD, EN-HAROD. The place where the Israelites encamped under Gideon, and where they showed
great fear. Judges vii. 1-3. It was in, or near the valley of Jezreel, and not far from the mountains of Gilboa, a
part of which seems to be called Moreh, where the Midianites were encamped. It was probably called Harod, from
the fears and terrors of the people.

HARETH. This was a forest in the land of Judah, 1 Sam. xxii. 5. to which David and his men, under the di-
rection of the prophet Gad, betook themselves. Its true situation is unknown.

HAROSHETH. A city of Galilee, where Sisera dwelt, the captain of Jabin's host. Judges iv. 2. We learn
that Joshua smote Hazor and slew its king, Josh. xi. 10, 11. but the Canaanites had again recovered their lost power,
and set up a king over them, who by his captain oppressed for twenty years the Israelites. Judges iv. 3. They were
delivered by Deboral and Barak, "Harosheth of the Gentiles" shows that it was possessed by idolaters.

HASHMONAH. A station of the Israelites. Numb. xxxiii. 29.

HAURAN. A district on the confines of Syria and Arabia. Ezek. xlvii. 16. It is called by the seventy Auro-
nitis; and so by Jerome, who reckons it as belonging to Damascus. The plains of Hauran are described as the
granary of the countries around them, producing excellent corn. They are south-west of Damascus on the edge
of the desert.

HAVILAH. The country which the Pison, a river of Paradise, encompassed. Gen. ii. 11. By Onkelos and
Jonathan India, at the head of the Indus is supposed to be meant. Also a district of Arabia, so called from Havilah,
the son of Jocktan. Gen. x. 20. This lay between the southern extremity of the Dead Sea, and the land of Egypt.
Gen. xxv. 18. 1 Sam. xv. 7. probably between Paran and Shur.

HAVOTH-JAIR. Some villages of Manasseh, which Jair his son took from the Canaanites, and called by his
own name. Numb. xxxii. 42.

HAZAR-GADDAH. A city of Judah. Josh. xv. 27.

HAZAR-SHUAL. Another city of Judah. Josh. xv. 28. & xix. 3. This last is assigned to Simeon. Neh. xi. 27.
1 Chron. iv. 28.
