HAP, HAPLY. — Hap, a Saxon word meanln" • luck,' ' cliancc,' is used once in A V, Ru 2' ' And her hap was to light on a part of the field belong- ing unto Boaz,' where the Heb. is rnpo ip;\ LXX Kal ir€pUir€(T€v ireptnTujfiaTi ; AVm * her hap hap- pened' ; Cox, 'her lot met her.' T. Fuller [Holy State, iii. 12, p. ISl) stiys, 'Many have been the wise speeches of fools, though not so many as the foolish speeches of wise men . . . because talking mucli, and shooting often, they must needs hit the mark sometimes, though not by aim, by haj)'; and imitates the pas.sage in Ru when he says (Holy iVarre, p. 2i)0), ' his hap was to fall in just among the three captains.'
Haply is ' by hap.' ' Happily' is the same word under a dillerent spelling, and had formerly the same meaning, tliough it has now come to mean ' by <joofl hap. Happily meaning simplj- ' by hap,' 'perchance,' is common in Sliaks., though mod. edd. usually spell ' haply.' Thus Hamlet, II. ii 402—
* llam. That great baby you B«e ther« U not yet out of hij 8\va»i(llmg-cIouta. Ro$. Ha]>pily he's the second time oomo to them.'
In AV 1611 the spelling is 'haply' in 1 S 14«>, Mk 11", Lk 14=». Ac 5^ 17^ ; but in 2 Co 9* ' hap- pily,' which mod. edd. h.ave changed to 'haply' also. Sometimes the word is siielt ' happl}',' as in Daye's ed. of Tindale's Pent. (1573), ' Enncke, a kinde of Giauntes so called hapnly, because they ware chaynes about their iieckcs.' The word occurs in AV only in the phrases ' if haply ' and ' lest haply.'
KV has tr«i fiiiwrt by 'lost harly" in all its occurrences, except Mt *Ji>9 ' penulventure — not, jn r* * Can it be tliat,* ami 2 Ti '.!^ ' if perwJventure.' Also /a« wmi (TR u>.tm) is so tr* in

to the east of the tribal territory. In the Ono- masticon, however {s. ' Aphraim '), it is stated to be 'now All'area, six miles from he'^io (Lrjii'in) to the north.' The site in ijuestion is now called cf- Ferriyeh, on the low hills south of Carmel. It is the site of an ancient town with remarkable tombs. See SIVP vol. i. sh. viii. In Baedekcr-Socin'a Pal.' '2'^S. Haiihraim is identilied with el-'A/uteh, 2 miles W. of ^ulum (Shunem).
C. R. CONDER. HAPPEN.— 1. Ro 11'-^ 'Ulindness in part is hap- pened to Israel,' i.e. is fallen upon, has come to lyiyovef), without the idea of ' hap ' or chance ; RV 'hath befallen.' Cf. .ler 4:!" Cov. 'And in Tai)hnis the worde ofl' the Lohdk happened unto leremy.' 2. 2 S 1' ' As I happened by chance upon Mount Gilbo.a' ("n'lp} NIPJ, LXX IlfpiirTuijuari wcpieiriaai'). I.e. 'I chanced to li^'ht upon.' Bunyan bej;ins his ffoli/ War thus: 'In my Travels, as I walked through manj- Rejiions and Countries, it was my chance to happen into that famous Continent of Universe.' Cf. Gn 44^ Tind. ' Yf j-e shall take this also awaye from me and some mysfortune happen apon him, then shall ye brynge my gray heed with sorow unto the grave' ; and esp. Ruther- ford, Letters (Nt). xli.), 'I happened upon a con- venient trusty bearer by God's wonderful provi- dence.' 3. '2 ^lac 13' 'Such a death it happened that wicked man to die,' the usual prep, bein" omitted. So Pr. 15k., ' Ordering of Priests,' 'And if it shall happen the same Church, or any member thereof, to take any hurt or hindrance l)y reason of your negligence, ye know the greatness of the fault, and also the horrible punisliraent that will ensue' : in 1549 and 1552 the word is 'chance.' 4. The auxiliarj' to be (as well as to hare) was formerly used with the verb to ' happen ' : so Jer 44-^ ' this evil is happened unto you ; Ro 1 1'^ (as above) ; and 2 P 2-- ' But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb' (RV 'It has hap- pened'). Cf. Mt 28" Tind. 'When they were gone, beholde, some of the kepers came in to the cyte, and shewed unto the hie prestesall the thinges tnat were happened.' J. HASTINGS.
