5. ascent the archaic uses of ‘make’ we find it followed by a subst., the two together expressin no more than a verb formed from the subst. woul express, as ‘make request’=request, ‘make pro- vision’=provide. In almost every instance the Heb. or Gr. is a verb and no more. Thus (1) make account, Ps 144° ‘Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him !’ (ia3y¥on1; LXX ὅτι λογίζῃ αὐτόν). So Shaks. Rich. 111. ππ|. ii. 71—
‘The princes both make high account of you"; Milton, PR ii. 193— * Among the sons of men,
How many have with a smile made small account Οἱ Beauty and her lures, easily scorn’d All her assaults, on worthier things intent!’
(2) Make confession, as Dn 9* ‘ And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession’ (7px, RV ‘made confession’). (3) Make count, Ex 124 ‘Every man according to his eating shall make
our count for the lamb’ (1555). (4) Make an end,
g 318 «And when he had made an end to offer (RV ‘an end of offering’) the present, he sent away the people that bare the present’ (πῇ); Is 331 ‘When thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously’ (a> nq2) ; 3813 ‘From day even to night wilt thcu make an end of me’ (‘yo">y¥a); Jer 47 ‘Yet wili I

not make a full end’ (ayyy εὑ a5). (5) Make tnquisition, Dt 19% ‘And the judges shall make diligent inquisition’ (29°79 3297). (6) Make mention, as Ps 874 ‘I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me’ (¥3}x). (7) Make mutter, Gal 2° ‘whatsoever they were it maketh no matter to me’ (οὐδέν μοι διαφέρει). Cf. Holland’s Livy, p. 247, ‘What makes matter, say they, if a bird sing auke or crow cross ?’ Tindale, Lxpositions, p- 81, ‘Thou wilt say, What matter maketh it if I speak words which [ understand not, or if I pray not atall, seeing God knoweth my matter already ?’ (8) Wake merchandise, Dt 214 247 ‘If a man be found stealing any of his brethren,of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him, then that thief shall die’ (‘a7=yn7; RV ‘deal with him as a slave,’ RVm ‘as a chattel’); 2 P 2° ‘And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you’ (ἐμπορεύσονται). Cf. Shaks. Merch. of Venice, ut. i. 134, ‘ Were he out of Venice, I can make what merchandise I will.’ (9) Make provision, 1 K 47 ‘Each man his month in a year made provision’ (5373); Ro 13" ‘Make not provision for the flesh’ (arpévoav μὴ ποιεῖσθε). (10) Make riddance, Ly 23" ‘thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest’ (a92r85; RV ‘thou shalt not wholly reap’); Zeph 115 ‘he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land’ (o>; RV ‘he shall make an end, yea a terrible end’). (11) Make a sport, 1 Es 1° ‘they made a sport of his prophets’ (ἦσαν ἐκπαίζοντες ; hv ‘they scolied at’). Cf. Milton, PL vi. 632— “Eternal Might

MAKEBATE.—There was an old Eng. word bate (from Old Fr. batre, to beat) which signified strife, discord. ‘Thus Shadwell, Am. Bigot, i. 1, ‘Tl breed no bate nor division between young people.’ Sometimes it is a shortened form of ‘debate’ (from Old Fr. debatre), but more often it is a distinct word. ‘Makebate’ is a compound of this word, and means a maker of strife. It occurs in the plural in AVm of 2 Ti 35, Tit 2°, as an alternative tw of διάβολοι, text ‘false accusers’; RV ‘slan- derers,’ which is as old as Wye. (1388) at Tit 2°. The tr. ‘false accusers’ is from Tindale. Hall (Works, ii. 74) says of the Pharisees, ‘ When these censurers thought the Disciples had offended, they peace not to them but to their Master, pay ies thy Disciples that which is not lawfull? Now,
when they thought Christ offended, they speak not to him, but to the Disciples. Thus, like true make-bates, they goe about to make a breach in the family of Christ, by setting off the one from the
other.’ J. HASTINGS. MAKED (Μακέβ, Maxéd).—A ‘strong and great’ city in Gilead (1 Mac 5”), The site is unknown.
MAKHELOTH (nbap>, Μακηλώθ, Luc. Μακηδώθ, Maceloth, Nu 33”: *).—One of the twelve stations in the Leena Ea of the children of Israel, follow- ing Hazeroth, which are mentioned only in Nu 33. Nothing is known about it. The word occurs Ps 68” (Eng. 35], where it is translated ‘ congrega- tions,’ ‘The occurrence of Keheldthah (a name of similar meaning) in v.~ should be noted.
