seke peace and ensue it ' ; and this was retained in the Bishops' Bible, and is now read in the Pr. Bk. But AV adopted the Douay word 'pursue.' In 1 P 3", however, which is a quot. of Ps 34''', AV accepted 'ensue,' which had come from Tindale, the Rheniish having here 'follow.' 'Ensue' is thus used with the unusual force of 'strive after' or 'pursue' (Gr. JiM^dTu), as Caxton, Cato, 24, ' Eschewe alle vyces and ensiewe vertue.' RV
fives ' pursue.' As intrana. vb. ' ensue ' is found in th 9" 'the things . . . which ensued after' (so RV ; Gr. t4 /ier^jreiro). We still use the word in dates, as ' the ensuing year.' J. Hastings.
EN-TAPPUAK (nisri'S! ' the spring of citron or amile'). — A place on the boundary of Manassch (.Ids 17'). It is mentioned between ' Micliinclli.ath, which is before (east of) Shechem,' and the ' brook of ^ianah.' Michmethath is generally (hut see Dillm. ndlor. ) identilicd with Mnklin'i, E. of Nilblus, and the brook l;kanali is W'liihi Ki'inah. Conder's idcntilication of En-tajipuah with a spring, near YAxi'if, in a valley to the S. of Mukhna, which drains into Wady I^&nah, is accepted by most
authorities. The place is probably the Tappnah (which see) of Jos W Vt\ C. \V. Wilson.
ENTREAT.— See Intreat.
ENYY is a feeling of uneasiness or displeasure occasioned by beholding the prosperity or advant- ages enjoyeif by others. Butler, in a note to the first of his Sermons on Human Nature, indicates it as the vice of that quality of soul of which Emula- tion is the corresponding virtue. The latter is that ' desire and hojie of equality with, or superiority over, others, with whom we compare ourselves,' which not only may be free from any unworthy feeling towards them, but is obviously the very spring of human progress. The characteristic of Envy, on the other hand, is ' to desire the attain- ment of this equality or superiority by the par- ticular means of others being brought down to oui own level or below it.'
The scriptural use of the term is quite in accord- ance with this description of it, and of its relation to the emotion of which it is a perversion. Of the three words, one in OT and two in NT, of which it appears as a translation, only one, ip06i>os (vnth its cognate verb ipdofiw), has uniformly the evil signification. The difficult verse Ja 4° ' Do you think that the Scripture saith in vain. The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy ? ' is scarcely an exception. If, as seems probable, having regard to the context, the rendering of the second clause given in RVm is correct — ' That spirit which he made to dwell in us yeameth for us even unto jealous envy ' — the phrase must be held as merely illustrating the intensity of the divine afi'ection, which requires the exclusive devotion of its object, by a reference to the human passion of jealou.sy or envy. (See Expos. Times, viii. [1896] p. 76f.)
The other two words, of which mention has been made, are Kjff (noun riKip) in OT, and f^Xos (verb fijXcfu) in NT ; and of each of these wor'is both mean- ings, the worthy and the unworthy, often appear. Njfj, the original force of which is, apparently, burning, glowing, naturally denotes, in the first instance, intense emotion. It is used to express the indignation of Joshua (Nu IP"), the zeal of Phinehas (Nu 25"), and the jealousy of Elijah (1 K 19"'- '*), as well as the envy of Rachel for her sister (Gn 30'), of his brethren for Joseph (Gn37"), of the people for Moses (Ps 106''), or the mutual envy of Judah and Ephraim (Is 11"). In the Book of Proverbs the evil sense alone appears. Con- trasted with ' a sound heart,' which is ' the life of the flesh,' Envy is 'the rottenness of the bones' (Pr 14*") ; it is more formidable than wrath or anger, for ' who is able to stand before envy ? '
The corresponding NT term is f^Xot, in which the same variation of sense is found. In 1 Co 14' (RV) we read ' Desire earnestly spiritual gifts ' ; in Gal 4'* 'it is good to be zealously atl'ected (RV 'sought') always in a good thing ' ; and in Rev 3" the com- mano ' Be zealous ' is coupled with an admonition to repent. In like manner the ' zeal ' of Jn 2", Ro 10', 2 Co 7" 9'^ Ph 3«, Col 4", the ' fervent mind' of 2 Co 7', and the ' jealousy ' of 2 Co IV, illustrate the commendable -vspect of the emotion indicated. In lists of vices, on the other band, such as those in Ro 1"", 1 "Ti 6*, en\'y has a conspicuous place Trench, in Nexc Testavient S;/non!/in.<i, points out that in the list given in Mk 7^'- ** the place of 09oVos is taken by the circumlocution 6(t>6a\pi.6s irovqpbi, 'an evil eye ' (compare Mt 20">, also 1 S IS" ' Saul eyed D.avid '), which reminds us of the derivation of the Lat. inindia, Eng. ' envy,' from invidco ' to look closely at,' so ' to look maliciou-lv '
