3. Have is sometimes equivalent to ' hold,' as Ja 2' ' My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons' (m*? ^ff, RV 'hold not'); Ac 25'^ ' Wlierefore I have brought him forth before you . . . that, after examination had, I might have somewliat to write ' (t^s avo.Kplaiit3$ yevo/iiv-qs). So 'have in abomination,' Lv 11", 1 S 13' ; 'have in derision,' Ps 119", Ezk 23", 1 Es I", \Vis5' ; ' have in honour,' 2 S 6-^ ; ' have in remembrance,' Ac 10^' ; ' have in reputation,' Ac 5** ; ' have in rever- ence,' Ps89'. Cf. He 13' Tind. ' Let wedlocke be had in pryce in all poyntes ' ; North's Plutarch, p. 876, ' [Cicero] scorned and disdained all Pompeys preparations and counsels, the which indeed made him to be had in iealousie and suspition ' ; Ridley, Brefe Declaration (Moule's ed. p. 163), ' For all the churche of Christ bothe hathe and ever hathe hadde hym [Augustine] for a man of most singular learnyng, ^ritte, and diligence.'
4. Have has sometimes the meaning of ' carry ' or ' take,' as 2 Cli 35'''^ ' And the king said to his servants. Have me away ; for I am sore wounded ' (•4n'3;n) ; 2 K ll'», 2 Cli 23" ' Have her forth with- out the ranges ' (api* sicvin) ; 2 S 13" ' Have out all men from me ' ('.-Cii.!). Cf. Is 53' ' He shal be had awaye, his cause not herde, and without eny judg- ment'; Jn 2" Tind. 'Have these thinges hence, and make not my fathers housse an liousse of marchaundyse.' bo Knox, Hist. 151, 'who being slain, was had to the Queen's presence ' ; Adams, IVorks, i. 65, ' Herefore they bequeath so great sums for masses and ilirges and trentals to be sung or said for them after they are dead, that their souls may at the last be had to heaven, though first for a while they be reezed in purgatory.'
5. Such phrases may be noticed as, ' Have in one's heart to,' 1 Ch 28^ (cf. Ph 1' ' I have you in my heart ') ; ' I would have you without careful- ness,' 1 Co 7*" ; 'I would not have you ignorant, 2 Co 1* ; ' Wlio will have all men to be saved, 1 Ti 2* {Ss ei\€i, RV ' Who wUleth that all men should be saved'). Cf. Jn 21-- Tind. ' Yf I wUl

6. As a grammatical point observe ' had ' not only for ' would have ' (as Gn 43'", Lk 24-'), but for ' would ' alone, I's 84'° ' I had rather he a door- keeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.' The Revisers have been taken to task (Moon, Heriscrs' Enrjlish, p. 135; Errfes. Enqlish, ii. I'.Hj) for aceeptiiij; this con- struction from AV'. No doubt '1 would rather' is more grammatical, but '1 had rather' has the best authority and is still in use. Cf. T. Fuller, Nulij State, ii. 16, p. 109, ' Some men had as lieve be schoolhoyes as Schoolmasters, to be tyed to the school as Cooper's Dictionary and Scapula's Lexicon are chained to the desk tlierein.' A},'ain, such a form as we find in He 11" 'They might liave had opportunity to have returned' is now reckoned ungraniiiiatical. It is common in Shaks., as Uamlet, v. i. 208—
' 1 hoped thou shouMst have been my Hamlet's wife ; I thoujiht thy bride-bed to have deck'd, sweet maid."
So Mernj Wives, IV. v. 41—
t had other things to have spoken with her.'
See Abbott, Shnks. Gram. S 3Gi). RV has the modern form, ' they would have had opportunity
to return.

HAVEN. — 1. i^n, properly ' coast,' ' strand,' from [rsn] ' enclose,' ' surround. This word is rendered ' haven ' by AV and KV in Gn 49'' '■^\ and by RV in Jg 5" (AV 'shore'). Its only other occurrences are Dt 1' [AV ' (sea)side,' KV ' (sea)shore '], Jos 9' [A V ' coasts (of the sea '), RV ' shore (of tlie sea ')], Jer 47', Ezk 25'« [ AV and RV ' (sea)shore ']. 2. nn? Ps lOT'" (only). 3. Xi^iii-, Ac 27*- '•■'.
Havens are seldom mentioned in the Bible, prob- ably for the rea.soii that Palestine proper scarcely possesses any harbours, and the Israelites were not a maritime nation. The harbours in OT times on the Mediterranean coast were in posses- sion of the Phoenicians and the Philistines (see GuKAT Sea) ; and as regards that of Ezion-geber, at the head of the Gulf of 'Al^ahah (or yElanitic Gulf), it was only for a short period in possession of the kings of Israel, notably in the reign of Solomon (1 K 9^). The earliest mention of the word ' haven ' (Gn 49") is in connexion with the blessings pronounced by .lacoh on the future tribes, where it is said of Zebulun that he 'should dwell at the haven of the sea, and that he should be for an haven of shii)S, and his border (should reach) unto Zidon.' It is doubtful if, in the dis- tribution of the Promised Land, the tribe of Zebulun actually touched the coast, though it reached as far west as Mount Carmel. From the port of Acoho (Acre) the tribe was debarred by the predominating jiower of the Phoenician Sidon- ians, who in the time of the Judges 'oppressed Israel ' (Jg lu'") ; but it is a fair 8u|i])0sition that the terms of Jacob's Blessing point to the im- portance of the Hay of Acre as the future ' Key of Syria,' * and ex]>ress the desire that it should come into the possession of Zebulun.
