' O, let me live ! And all the secrets of our camp I'U show.'
3. To gh'e or do something to one — a natural exten- sion of the general sense cause to appear. Thus Ac 4^ ' The man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed ' (Gr. ^e76i'ei, edd. 7e76cei, RV 'was wrought'); 24*' ' Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound' {9i\uir re x''/'"'''' [edd. x''/'"'''] xa''"- eiadai, RV 'desiring to gain favour with'). Cf. Babees Book, 2 —
' And eke, o lady taya, Facecia I My penne thow guyde, and helpe unto me shewe.'
The subst. means : 1. Outward appearance. Is 3' 'The shew of their countenance doth witness against them ' (on-j? nir.i, RVm ' their respecting of persons ') ; Sir 43' ' The beauty of heaven, with his glorious shew ' (^i- bpAiuni ScSJiis, RV ' in the spectacle of its glory'); Gal 6" ' A» many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh ' (fiVpoo-- bnrriaai). Cf. Pref. to A V, ' Some peradventure would have no varietie of .sences to be set in the margine, lest the authoritie of the Scriptures for deciding of controversies by that shew of uncer- taintie, should somewhat be shaken'; and Drayton, Sol. Song, ch. 5 —
• His eies be like to doves' On rivers' banks below, Ywasht with milk, whose collours are Moat gallant to the shew.'
2. Spectacle, Col 2"> ' He made a shew of them openly' {iSeiyixdriaev ivTappr]<Tlg.). Cf. Ezkl2'Cov., ' Hyde thy face that thou see not the earth, for I have made the a shewtoken \into the house of Israel.'
3. Semblance, Ps 39' 'Surely every man walketh in a vain shew ' (D^s?, RVm [implying false etym. connexion] 'as a shadow') ; Col 2-' 'which things have indeed a shew of \vi8dom ' (\i70i' aoiptaf). Cf. Fuller, Holy State, 158, 'Travell not too early before thy judgement be risen, lest thou observest rather shews than substance, marking alone pageants, pictures, beautiful! buildings,' etc.
4. Pretence, Lk 20" ' Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers' (jrpo- ipiaa, RV ' for a pretence '). Cf. Purchas, Pilgrim- age, 386, ' In shew to kecpe the straits, in deed to expect the event ' ; and Paraph. 25'° —
' Who can his generation tell?
From prison see him led I With impious shew of law condenu'd
And number'd with the dead.'
Sheuring is used as a subst. in Lk l* ' Till the day of his shewing unto Israel' (Jut itiUpai iva- Sel^eus airrov). The Eng. word is quite unusual, and is simnly a literal tr. (after Vulg. osfensio and Wvclif's 'schewynge') of the Gr. dniJEcfit, wliich does not occur elsewhere in NT. On com- paring Lk 10' ' The Lord appointed {iviiaity) other

seventy also,' and Ac 1** ' Sliew {avdlti^of) whether of these two thou hast chosen,' we see that the reference is to the entrance of Jolin on his public ministry. J. Hastings.
SHEWBREAD.— 'Shewhread,' formed apparently on the pattern of Luther's Schaubrot, is the tr. , first adopted by Tindale, of the Heb. D-)p(n) cnji ' bread of the presence [of J"],' of which, accord- infrly, the more correct tr. is that proposed by RVra, viz. ' presence-bread.'
It has been usual hitherto to assign the introduction of the terra 'shewbread' to Coverdale (see, e.g., Phinimcr's Luke, 167), But it is found as early as 1626 in Tindale's New Testa- ment, He 02 ' and the shewe breed which is called wholy ' (Offor'B feprint). Curiously enouph, Tindale not only uses other render- ings in the Gospels (' the halowed loves,' Mt"l2'*, Mk 2-*i ; * loves of halowed breed,' Lk 6*), but retains the same inconsistency in his reviseil e<iition of 1534, after he had adopted 'shewbred' in his Pentateuch of 1530. In the latter on its lirst occurrence (Ex 263") he adds the marpnal note : ' Shewbrod, because it was ftlwa^ in the presence and sight of the Lorde ' (see Mombert's repnnt, in he,), Wyclif had naturally followed the Vulgate (•ee below) with 'breed of proposicioun.' The Protestant translators and revisers who succeeded Tindale |^ve ' shew- bread ' in OT, ' shewe loves,' ' shewbreads,' and ' sbewbread ' in NT, the last by the end of the 16th cent, being firmly estab- lished in both Testaments (the Itheims version, however, retain- ing * loaves of proposition ').
L NosiENCLATTJHE. — On the occasion of the ear- liest historical mention of tlie presence - bread (0'jf,T nnS 1 S 21» (h«1' 'D it is nl.so termed ' holy bread ' (ch^ onS ib, »• •• («• 1 KV ; AV ' hallowed bread '). The former terra is that used through- out the Priests' Code (P) of the Pentateuch, with the addition of the name ' continual bread ' (TSB "i Nil 4'" ; cf. ' bread ' only Ex 40-^). In the post-exilic period we meet with another desig- nation, viz. ' the pile-bread ' (n;-iy^i:rr on^ 1 Ch 9^- 23^, Neh I0», but with the terms reversed 2 Ch 13", cf. He 9- ; also nDivo alone 2 Ch 2'). This name is due to the fact that the loaves were arranged upon the table in two ])iles (n^D-i;;?? Lv 24* ; this, the rendering of RVm, suits the facts better than the ' rows ' of the text of EV). The tr. varies considerably in the Gr. versions, the most literal rendering of the older designation is iproi ToD irpoawTTou 1 S 21*, 2 Es 20^ (hut cf. Aquila's &p. TrpoautTruv), &p. ivuiwioi Ex 25^, ol &p. ol irpoKti^iivoi Ex 39'* ; elsewhere most frequently &p. tt)? tt/jo- Biatui, ' loaves of the setting forth.' This, the term used in the Gospels (Mt 12*, Mk 2=«, Lk Q*), reflects the later Hebrew designation above men- tioned (cf. TrportO^vau in LXX to render rtTj ' to set in order,' ' set forth ' [a meal upon a table]).* The variant tj TpiBttrit t. ipruiv (He U'^) follows 2 Ch 13", 2 Mac IC)". Still another rendering, o! 4p. ttj^ Trpexr- 00005, is confined to some MSS of the Greek of 1 K ■7* (Lucian has irpoBicriwt). The Vulgate also re- flects botli the Hebrew designations with panis fariemm (cf. Aquila, above) and panis proposi- tionia.
