t Peritz (Encyc. Bibl. s.v. 'Hallel') connects the liturgical I of the Hallel with the Passover-meal (he denies that it I the Temple-sen-ice), and thinks that it attained its
primarily with Tabernacles and Hanukka.
5 With the doubling of the initial days o( Festivals that takes place ' in exile,' the 18 days originally comprised in the above now amount to 21, and 1 night to 2.
$ Hence the designation ' half-Hallel ' for this form.

('when they had sung a hymn' [uyuniuai'TEs]) was the second part of the Hallel (Pss 115-118)* sung at the conclusion of the Paschal supper (see above). This is quite possible, in view of the probability that the custom had been established in connexion with tlie Pasolial meal in the time of Christ.
In Delitzsch's Heb. ST the expression is well paraphrased : 'After they had completed the Hallel' (SVn.TriK IDi). But there are some indications that the usage was subject to varia- tion in the earlier period. Thus, according to one authority, for the 'completion' of the Hallel at the Paschal meal Ps 25 might suflice (Pes. 118a). The expression iu.io-it.TK certainly suggests a Paschal meal. It is significant, however, that it is absent from the Lukan account.

HALLOWED. — Used of the name of our Father —first petition in the Lord's Prayer (Mt e"!! Lk 11=), = ' revered' or 'counted holy.' It is, says Godet {Com. inloeo), a prayer that ' unworthy conceptions of God and of His character may no longer prevail among men. The child of God beseeches Him to manifest with eflect His holj' character, in the conscience of men, so that all impure idolatry, gross or refined, as well as all formal Pharisaism, may be completely removed, and that every human being may unite with the seraphim in the anthem of adoration, "Holy, Holy, Holy."'
The verb ayiot^n* is in constant usage in LXX to render the different forms of Heb. lyiij (see Concord, s. v.). Isaiah (8" 2923) and Ezekiel (passim, e.g. 20^1 36^3) employ the word (rendered ' sanctify ' AY and EV) of the Lord and His name, in exactly the same sense as the Lord's Prayer, of causing to be revered, whether by judgment or by deliverance. OT usage with reference to Sabbath, Jir.'^thom, etc., ought to be compared. Our Lord uses i-/. (1) of Himself (Jn 1036 1719) in the sense of consecration ('sanctifv' AV and RV, cf. marg.) to the office of Messiah by His submitting to death ; and (2) of His disciples (Jn 171"- 19) as consecrated by the truth. The root idea is setting apart for holy purposes, with the consequent development of a holy character. This ethical sense is derived from Lv 1144 iy^o-^. e.i«-!o-Oi xai UyM io-iirlft, W. ^yic! ll/i, iy li (see Lightfoot On Ph 11).

HALTING. — A deficiency in gait, when one is not able to walk without limping. The word refers to the imperfection in the art of walking, rather than to the deficiency, injury, or weakness of the limb or limbs which is the cause. This differentiation is illustrated by a passage from Brand (1789): 'He hath a halt in walking occa- sioned by a lameness in one of his legs ' ; also Tennyson {Guinevere) : ' If a man were halt or hunch'd ' ; Bunyan {Pilg. Prog. pt. ii.) : ' Mr. Ready to Halt,' cf. Ps 38" ; S'haks., Timon, Ac. IV. Sc. i.: 'Thou cold sciatica, cripple our senators, that their limbes may lialt as lamely as their manners ' (an illustration also of the metaphorical use of the word ' halt ' similar to that of ' lame ') ; so Richard III., Ac. I. Sc. i.—
' Sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up. And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them.'
' Halt ' is the tr. of xwXA^ in Mt IS', Mk 9^", Lk W\ Jn 5* ; but the translators of neither AV nor RV maintain a close distinction between the lame and tlie halt. The halting are included in the general healings wrought by Jesus among the multitude, and many of them would doubtless be of a char- acter to yield readily to the method of our Lord, acting as He did on the line of existing therapeutic forces, even while going far beyond our present knowledge and experience of these forces.
