Carriage. Vehicles answering to this term in modera usage were not known to the andents. See Cabt. In the English Bible this word stands, there- fore, as the incongraous rendering of several totaD j different terms. In 1 Sam. zvii, 20, the Hebrew word nbl^Q, magalah', rendered "trench" in our version, and ** place of the carriage" in the margin, probaUy signifies a wagon-rampari, a bulwark formed of the wagons and other vehicles of the army (1 Sam. xxvi, 5, 7). In Judg. xviii, 21, the original is Mn^n^, keim- dah\ and means wealtX^ i. e. booty. In Isa. xlvi, 1, '* carriage" stands for MK^iSp, nesuah', a load for a beast of burden. In 1 Sam. xvil, 22, tlie word ^h^j keU% "carriage," properly means in^ptemenis, eqm^ ments; and in Isa. z, 28, implements of war. In Acta xxi, 15, the phrase, "we took up our carriages" (<hro- (TKcvo^ofuu), siiould be, "we packed up our baggage." See Waoon.

Carridres, Louis db, bora at ClnviU, near An- gers, in 1662, was first a soldier, but in 1689 entered the congregation of the Oratory. He died at Paris June 11, 1717. He b chiefly known tiy his Commen- taire UtUral^ or "Literal Commentary" on the whole Bible, which is so managed that his comments are in- troduced into the text (translated) in italic characters. They are for the most part in the words of holy Scrip- ture itself, which is thus made to be its own interpret- er. This work, which was carried through at the re- quest of Bossuet, was completed in twenty-four 12mo volumes (1701 to 1716). It has since gone through many edhions, and is mi^ch used. It is the only French version authorized in ltalj,~-Biogrttpkie Urn- verselle, vii, 219.
