he as clearly means 'from this time forward,' ' henceforth. This is the most frequent mean- ing of the word in AV, and it demands attention because the mod. meaning of the word is apt to make one miss the sense of the passage. In Mk 11" ' No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever' (fitiK^Ti, R'V ■ henceforth ') there is no danger of mistake ; but in Mk 26" ' Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the ri'dit hand of ^)ower, and coming in the clouds of heaven,' it is not evident from the English version that the meaning is ' from now,' ' henceforth ' (dir' ifm, UV ' Hence- forth '). But that is the meaning also in Jn 1" 'Hereafter ye shall see the heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man ' (where, however, edd. omit dir' apri of TK, whence KV 'Ye sliall see,' etc.) ; and in Lk 22'"' ' Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God ' {airi toO vvf, KV 'henceforth'), and even Is Jn 14"" 'Hereafter I will not talk much with j'ou ' {ovk In, edd. oi'«'ti, RV 'no more'). In 1 Ti 1" 'for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting ' (Trpds vnorinrtjaiv tCiv jueWicrwi' TTidTeveiv), and in the OT passages (Is 41^, ICzk 20", Dn 2-'''- *'), the meaning is more indefinite, ' at any time after this' (observe that the "^'^h of Is 41^ is in 42^ tr'' 'for the time to come ). In Gal 6" the W3-clifite version of 1388 is ' And hcr- aftir no man be bevy to me,' while the version of 1380 gives ' Fro hennis forth no man be bevy to me.'
Hereafter is one of a number of so-called pronoun-adverbs, of which ' here' is the first jjaii, always with the meaning of 'this.' The others found in AV are —
Hereby. In the Eng. language ~ven of the beginning of the 17th cent, 'hereby' had some- times a local meaning, as in Shaks. As You Like It, IV. i. 9—
* Where is the bush That we must stand and play the niunlerer in ? Hereby, upon the ed^'e of yonder coppice.'
But in AV it is always instrumental, 'by tliis means,' as I Jn 2' ' And hereby do we know that we do know him, if we keep his commandments ' (iv Toirrcfi, a very common expression in this Epistle, and generally tr'' ' hereby ').
Herein, lit. 'in this'; in NT always instru- mental and always the tr° of if ToiVy ; in OT it occurs Gn 34-'-' ' Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us ... if every male among us be circumcised ' (nsits, RV ' on this con- dition'); and 2 Ch 16" 'Herein thou hast done foolishly' (n.-ii-'^i').
Hereof. Observe 1 Mac 16'- ' Hereof when be heard, he was sore astonished' (sal aKovjas, KV ' And when he heard ') ; Mt 9^ ' And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land ' (^ <pri/i-n airrj, AVm and RVm ' this fame ') ; He 5' ' And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to oflTer for sins ' (TR 5id rain-qv, edd. 5i' avT-i)v, RV ' by reason thereof '). Cf. T. Fuller, Holy Warre, iii. 5, p. 117, ' But hereof hereafter.'
Heretofore = hitherto, as tr° of cr^?^ Vicb (Ex 410 57. 8. u^ Jos 34_ j{u 2"), or nr\v h^cnK (1 S 4'), lit. 'yesterday three days,' a primitive method of referring to past time. See Time. In NT, 2 Co 13' ' I write to them which heretofore have sinned ' [toU Tporifiaf>TiiK6ca>).

HERES (D-irr-in). — 1. A mountain named along with Aijalon and Shaalbim as one of the localities from wliich the Danitcs failed to expel the Amorites, Jg I*"-. As the word /iercs = shemesh, ' the sun,' it is very probable * that the Heros here referred to may be Beth - shemesh (1 K 4^ 2 Ch 28'*) or Ir- slicmesh (Jos 19^'), on the boundary between Judah and Dan. This is the modern '^^i'n ^/letns to the S. of Wady Zurar, opposite Zur'ah (Zoar). The LXX (A) has i" rip 6pii too M upffii'wi'os, which implies a reading, Diqnriiz' mountain of the myrtle grove.'
