3. In Jos 15^ a Hazor in the Negeb of Judah is noticed. 4. In Jos lo'-^ another Hazor appears to be mentioned, which is identical with Kerioth- hezron (wh. see). S. An unknown Arabian locality (Jer 49''°') mentioned along with Kedar as smitten by Nebuchadrezzar. C. R. CoNDER.
HAZOR-HADATTAH (m-iq ■rtsrt).-The text (Jos 15'^) is not beyond suspicion. If it is correct, the name may mean ' new Hazor,' with Aram, n in n.-iq {Oxf. Hcb. Lex.). LXX omits. The place was in the Negeb of Judah, but the site is unknown. It appears to be connected with ' Kerioth-hezron, w-liich is Hazor.' See HezboN.

HE. — After the Heb. idiom (see Davidson, Syn- tax, § lUC) a personal pronoun is sometimes in- serted superfluously as the subject of the verb. Gn 4* ' And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock' (Ki.TDj K-an Sjm) ; Dt 1* 'The Loud your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you ' ; Jos 22'=' ' The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods, he knoweth ' ; Is 9" ' The ancient and honourable, he is the head ; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.' In such cases there is a certain emphasis placed upon the subject, but, as David.son points out, it is slight, and to translate ' as for the ancient and honour- able ' is to exaggerate it, though that construction may be permitted in a long sentence like 2 Ch 34^, ' .Vnd aa for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, so sliall ye say unto him ' (v^N i-L-Kh ns . . . .Tii.i; il^?"'?^!) ; RV ' But unto the king of Judah . . . thus shall ye say to liiin'). Tliu same idiom is found in Apocr. and NT, as
2 Mac 4*- • ' Onias seeing the danger of thi« con- tention ... he went to the king' (RV omits ' ho ') ; Jn 1'" No man hath seen God at any time ; the only-begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Kather, he hath declared him ' (6 uv eis . . . Afii-os). There are many examples of this con- struction in Ileb. that are not transferred into English. Un the other hand, the example quoted from 2 Mac * is peculiar to the Eng. version, for this method of empha-sizing a subject, or of catch-

ing it up again after a long parenthesis, belongs to all composition. An example of each kind may be quoted from Shaks. Com. of Errors, V. i. 229 —

In Bel '■ * there is an interchange between him and it, ' Now the Babylonians had an idol, called Bel, and there were spent upon him every day twelve great measures of fine Hour. . . . And the king worshipped it, and weni daUy to adore it' (Gr. etduAov . . . aijrbv . . . airritv . . . airri^). Cf. Tindale, Kxpositiotis, p. 96 (on Mt 6'«-"*), ' If thou wouldest kill thy body, or when it is tame enough, pain him.' Similar occurrences of a masc. pro- noun for a neut., or a neut. for a masc, are found in the earlier versions, and are due usually to a literal regard for the gender of the Greek word. Thus Jn 1' Tind. ' All thinges were made by it, and with out it was made nothinge that was made ' (so all the VSS before A V except Wj'c. and Rhem. ) ; but 15'* ' Yf the worlde hate you j'e knowe that be bated me before he hated you' (so Cran., but Gen. changed to ' it ' and was followed by the rest). Cf. Mt 18' Rhem. ' And if thine eye scandalize thee, plucke him out, and cast him from thee'; and \\yc. Works, iii. 150, ' Ffor loued thing drawee men to hit, as tho stoon of a damaunt drawes irne unto hyni.' In 2 S 12"- '■" ' it' is applied to Bath- sheba's child, but ' he ' and ' him ' in vv.'"- '^. RV retains this as well as the more glaring discrepancy in Bel '■ *, and adds at least one instance of its own, Mt 14'- ' And his disciples came and took up the corpse and buried him' (reading airriv for aiVi, AV 'it'), Mk 6*» 'And when his disciples heard thereof, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb' (retaining auri here).
