LODDEUS (B Λααδαῖος v.“, Λοδαῖος v.48, A Aod- datos; AV Saddeus, Daddeus; 1 Es 8*- 48 [#4 LXX)).—The ‘ captain in the place of the treasury’ (or ‘at the place Casiphia,’ Ezr 817), to whom Ezra sent, while ede on the river Theras, for Levites to accompany him on the return. He is ealled Ippo in Ezr 817, The form Λοδαῖος appears to have arisen from repeating the > in i;y>s ‘to Ido.’ H. 51. J. THACKERAY.
LO-DEBAR (in 2S 05:5 13115, B AadaSdp, A AaBa- dapl; in 1757 551 89, BA Λωδαβάρ, Luc. Λαδαβάρ).--- A place in Gilead, near to, and apparently east from, Mahanaim. It was the retreat of Mephi- bosheth till he was summoned to court by David, 25 9% It is mentioned also upon the occasion of David’s flight to the east of the Jordan, 17:7. The site has not been recovered.
Wellhausen and Nowack (in their Comm. ad loc.) and Buhl (GAP 71), following Griitz, find the proper name Lo-debar also in Am θ᾽8, where EVV (followed by Driver) read and tr. 727 ἐδ ‘a thing of nought.’ Lo-debar is perhaps intended in the 125 of Jos 1335. See DEBIR, No. 2. J. A. SELBIE.
LODGE.—To lodge is in AV nearly always to spend the night, as Jos 8° ‘Joshua lodged that night among the people’; Ru 116 ‘where thou lodgest, I will lodge’; Job 31% ‘the stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller’; Zeph 2% ‘both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it.’ In OT that is always the meaning. The verb is some part of }3> or 7.5, except in Jos 2! « And they went, and came into an harlot’s house, named Rahab, and lodged there’ (73y¥-3239), RV ‘and lay there’); and 4° ‘the place where they lodged,’ Heb. bp, elsewhere translated ‘lodging ® (2 K 19°, Is 10%), ‘lodging place’ (Jos 4%, Jer 92), ‘inn,’ with RV ‘lodging place’ (Gn 4277 4321, Ex 43). In Apocr. and NT we find ‘lodge’ as the tr. of (1) αὐλίζομαι, To 61° 95, Sir 1436. Mt 21!7; (2) καταλύω, Sir 14°, Lk 915; (3) κοιμάομαι, 1 Mac 115; (4) κατασκηνόω, Mt 13, Mk 453. Lk 13%. In all these places the meaning of ‘lodge’ is ‘spend the night.’ But we also find ξενίζω so translated in Ac 10% 18, 23.32 9116 987, and ἐπιξενόομαι in Sir 2927, and then the meaning is, if trans., ‘receive as a guest,’ ‘entertain,’ or if intrans. ‘ be entertained,’ ‘be a guest.’ Thus the only meanings that the verb to lodge has in AV and RV are (1) pass the night in a place, and (2) entertain one or be enter- tained by one as a guest. For the meaning ‘ pass the night’ see Shaks. 17 Henry VI. 1. i. 80--
‘ Did he so often lodge in open field, In winter's cold, and summer's parching heat, To conquer France, his true inheritance ?’ Rom. and Jul. 1. iii. 36— ‘ And where care lodges, sleep will never lie.’ Macbeth, τι. ii. 26— ‘ There are two lodged together.
One cried, ‘‘ God bless us!” and “* Amen” the other.’ And for the sense of ‘entertain’ or ‘be enter- tained,’ He 13? Tind. ‘ Be not forgetfull to lodge straungers’; Taming of Shrew, Iv. ti. 107—
‘And in my house you shall be friendly lodged.’
Lodge as a subst. occurs but twice: (1) Is 18 ‘ And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers’
(πρθρ found elsewhere only Ts 24°, AV ‘cottage,’ RV < hut’ ; it is the watch-tower [Mt 21%, Mk 121] or hut in which the caretaker of the vineyard
LOGOS
dwells while the crop is ripening until it is gathered in: see Wetzstein in Delitzsch’s Job, ll. 74f., and art. Boor, with illustration under CUCUMBER); (2) Jth 3° ‘Behold, our houses, and all our places, and all our fields of wheat, and flocks, and herds, and all the lodges of our tents, lie before thy face’ (ai μάνδραι τῶν σκηνῶν ἡμῶν ; RV ‘the sheepcotes of our tents,’ as AV in 2% for the same word ; ‘lodges’ is from the Geneva Bible, which has ‘ lodge’ also in 256),
Lodging or lodging place is found in both mean- ings belonging to the verb lodge: (1) a place to epee the night in, as Jer 9? ‘Oh that 1 had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men’ (foe); Sir 14% ‘ He shall odge in a lodging where good things are’ (κατάλυμα) ; (2) a place of enter- tainment, only Ac 28* and Philem * (fevia).

LOFT (from the Scand., but the same as Anglo- Saxon /yft, the sky) is used twice in AV. In 1 Καὶ 17 it means an upper room in a house, ‘ And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed? (πον πον, RV ‘into the chamber’). Else- where πρὸ; is tr. ‘chamber,’ ‘upper chamber,’ ‘ par- lour,’ ete. (but see Moore on «10 359). ΤᾺΝ Πα ὑπερῷον, its usual word for mby ; Vulg. ceenaculum, whence Wye. 1382, ‘sowping place,’ z.e. supper room, but 1388 ‘soter,’ t.e. upper room ; Dou. ‘upper chamber’; ‘loft’ is the Bishops’ word. In Ac 20” it means one of the storeys of a house, ‘ Eutychus. . . fell down from the third loft’ (ἀπὸ τοῦ τριστέγου, RV ‘from the third storey’; Vulg. de tertio canaculo; Wye. ‘from the third stage or sowping place’; Tind. ‘from the thyrde lofte,’ followed by the rest of the versions). Cf. Gn 6! Tind. ‘And the dore of the arcke shalt thou sette in the syde of it: and thou shalt make it with three loftes one above an other.’ In Scots a ‘lofted’ house was a house of more than one storey. Jamieson quotes from Scott, Waverley, i. 298, ‘Ian nan Chaistel’s mansion, a high rude-looking square tower, with the addi- tion of a lofted house, that is, a building of two stories.’ J. HASTINGS.
