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 (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 (Exodus 25:17-20; 26:1,31). God promised to commune with Moses "from between the cherubim" (Exodus 25:22). This expression was afterwards used to denote the Divine abode and presence (Numbers 7:89; 1 Samuel 4:4; Isaiah 37:16; Psalm 80:1; 99:1). In Ezekiel's vision (Ezekiel10:1-20) they appear as living creatures supporting the throne of God. From Ezekiel's description of them (Ezekiel 1; 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 (Ezekiel 1:4-14) speaks of four; and this number of "living creatures" is mentioned in Revelation 4:6. Those on the ark are called the "cherubim of glory" (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 (Psalm 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,
* on the expulsion of our first parents from Eden, to prevent all access to the tree of life; and
* to form the throne and chariot of Jehovah in his manifestation of himself on earth. He dwelleth between and sitteth on the cherubim (1 Samuel 4:4; Psalm 80:1; Ezekiel 1:26,28).

Chesnut tree : (Heb.@'armon; i.e., "naked"), mentioned in connection with Jacob's artifice regarding the cattle (Gen. 30:37). It is one of the trees of which, because of its strength and beauty, the Assyrian empire is likened (Ezek. 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.

Cherethim : (Ezek. 25:16), more frequently Cherethites, the inhabitants of Southern Philistia, the Philistines (Zephaniah 2:5). The Cherethites and the Pelethites were David's life-guards (1 Sam. 30:14; 2 Sam. 8:18; 20:7, 23; 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 (Gen. 37:36, marg.; 1 Kings 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 (1 Kings 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.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Hellebore

Edition of 1802.
​HELLEBORE, or Helleborus, L. a genus of plants consisting of five species, two of which are natives of Britain: the principal of these is the fœtidus, Fetid Hellebore, Bear's-foot, Ox-heel, or Setterwort. It grows in meadows, shady places, and hedges; producing green flowers, somewhat tinged with purple at the edges, which blow in the months of March and April.
In a recent state, this species has an extremely fetid smell, accompanied with a bitter taste, which is so remarkably acrid, as to excoriate the mouth and fauces. A decoction of it is, by country people, employed as a cathartic, for which purpose one or two drams are fully sufficient. The dried leaves of the fetid hellebore are sometimes given to children as a vermifuge; but as their operation is so violent, that a large dose might easily prove fatal, this virulent plant ought to be employed only by farriers.—Beside immediate vomiting, the most proper antidotes to every species of the hellebore, are mucilaginous drinks in very large quantities; such as the decoctions of oatmeal, pearl-barley, linseed, marsh-mallows, &c. or milk and water; after taking which, the poisonous matter will be most effectually counteracted by diluted vinegar, juice of lemons, or other vegetable acids.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Hemlock, the Common

Edition of 1802.
​HEMLOCK, or Conium, L. a genus of plants comprising five species; one of which is a native of Britain, namely, the maculatum, Common Hemlock; or Kex, a biennial plant, growing in hedges, orchards, rubbish, on cultivated ground and dunghills; it flowers in the months of June and July. Its stalk is more than a yard high, sometimes an inch thick, hollow, marked with many dark-red spots, and knotty; its umbels consist of numerous small white flowers, and the fruit resembles aniseed, but has an unpleasant taste. The whole plant is poisonous; though its leaves were formerly often employed in schirrous tumors of the breast, and cancers; in which painful disorder, though it may not in every case effect a cure, it is a very useful medicine, when duly prepared and administered.
As the Common Hemlock, however, is one of the most deleterious vegetables of this climate, we advise the reader to refrain from meddling with this precarious medicine, and to intrust its preparation to professional hands. If inadvertently taken, this species, as well as the two following kinds of the Hemlock, require similar antidotes and treatment with the ​Hellebore, of which we have treated in the preceding article.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Hemlock, the Long-leaved

Edition of 1802.
​HEMLOCK, the Long-leaved Water, or Water Cow-bane, Cicuta virosa, L. is an indigenous perennial plant, growing on the sides of pools and rivers; flowering in the month of August.—It is likewise one of the most virulent vegetable poisons; its root is large, hollow, and contains a very acrid milky juice that soon changes to a saffron-colour, and has a nauseous taste, somewhat similar to that of parsnip: the stem attains a height of four feet.—Early in the spring, when it grows in the water, it is frequently eaten by cows, which are inevitably killed by it; but, as the summer advances, its scent becomes stronger, and they carefully avoid it. Yet, though it is thus fatal to cows, it is eaten with safety by horses, sheep, and goats, which last devour it with avidity.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Hemlock, the Water

Edition of 1802.
​HEMLOCK, the Water, Phellandrium, L. a genus of plants consisting of two species, one of which, the aquaticum, Water Hemlock, or Horse-bane, is a native of Britain. It grows in rivers, ditches, and pools: and flowers in the months of June and July. This species is eaten by horses, sheep, and goats, but swine do not relish it, and it is totally refused by cows. It is considered as a fatal poison to horses, which on eating it become paralytic: this affection is occasioned by an insect called curculio paraplecticus, which is generally found within its stems; the usual antidote is the dung of pigs, which ought to be given to the animal as early as possible.
The leaves of the horse-bane are sometimes employed in discutient cataplasms; its seeds are recommended in intermittent fevers and pulmonary consumptions, but ought to be prescribed by the faculty.

​Abencerrages, a family or faction that is said to have held a prominent position in the Moorish kingdom of Granada in the 15th century. The name appears to have been derived from the Yussuf ben-Serragh, the head of the tribe in the time of Mahommed VII., who did that sovereign good service in his struggles to retain the crown of which he was three times deprived. Nothing is known of the family with certainty; but the name is ​familiar from the interesting romance of Gines Perez de Hita, Guerras civiles de Granada, which celebrates the feuds of the Abencerrages and the rival family of the Zegris, and the cruel treatment to which the former were subjected. Florian's Gonsalvo of Cordova, and Chateaubriand's Last of the Abencerrages, are imitations of Perez de Hita's work. The hall of the Abencerrages in the Alhambra takes its name from being the reputed scene of the massacre of the family.

# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Abel

See also Abel on Wikipedia; Abel in the 11th edition; and the disclaimer.
​Abel (הֶבֶל, breath, vanity, transitoriness), the second son of Adam, slain by Cain his elder brother (Gen. iv. 1–16). The narrative in Genesis, which tells us that "the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering, but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect," is supplemented by the statement of the New Testament, that "by faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain," (Heb. xi. 4), and that Cain slew Abel "because his own works were evil and his brother's righteous" (1 John. iii. 12). In patristic theology the striking contrast between the brothers was mystically explained and typically applied in various ways. Augustine, for example, regards Abel as the representative of the regenerate or spiritual man, and Cain as the representative of the natural or corrupt man. Augustine in his treatise De Hæresibus, c. 86, mentions a sect of Abelitae or Abelians, who seem to have lived in North Africa, and chiefly in the neighbourhood of Hippo-Regius. According to their tradition, Abel, though married, lived in continence, and they followed his practice in this respect, so as to avoid the guilt of bringing sinful creatures into the world.

​Abenezra, or Ibn Ezra, is the name ordinarily given to Abraham ben Meir ben Ezra (called also Abenare or Evenare), one of the most eminent of the Jewish literati of the Middle Ages. He was born at Toledo about 1090; left Spain for Rome about 1140; resided afterwards at Mantua (1145), at Lucca (1154), at Rhodes (1155 and 1166), and in England (1159); and died probably in 1168. He was distinguished as a philosopher, astronomer, physician, and poet, but especially as a grammarian and commentator. The works by which he is best known form a series of Commentaries on the books of the Old Testament, which have nearly all been printed in the great Rabbinic Bibles of Bomberg (1525–6), Buxtorf (1618–9), and Frankfurter (1724–7). Abenezra's commentaries are acknowledged to be of very great value; he was the first who raised biblical exegesis to the rank of a science, interpreting the text according to its literal sense, and illustrating it from cognate languages. His style is elegant, but is so concise as to be sometimes obscure; and he occasionally indulges in epigram. In addition to the commentaries, he wrote several treatises on astronomy or astrology, and a number of grammatical works.
