Dowry Crtb, mo'har^ -pTo^. price paid for a wife, ien. xxxiv, 12; Exod. xxii, 17; 1 Sam. xviii, 26; I2t, ze'bed, a gift. Gen. xxx, 20; 0«pv^, 2 Mace, i, 4). Nothing distinguishes more the nature of mar- iage among us in Europe from the same connection rhen formed in the East than the different methods f proceeding between the father-in-law and the in- ended bridegroom. Among us, the fkther usually pives a portion to his daughter, which becomes the voperty of her husband, and which often makes a con- dderable part of his wealth ; but in the East the bride- groom offers to the fkther of his bride a sum of money, >r value to his satisfkction, before he can expect to re- vive his daughter in marriage. The sum which the Wdegroom was required to pay to the fiither of his l)ride as a nuptial present or dowry was to be accord- ing to the rank she sustained, and such as the fathers (>f virgins of the same rank were accustomed to receive for their daughters. Of this procedure we have in- stances from the earliest times. When Jacob had nothing which he could immediately give for a wife,

he purchased her by his services to her fiither Laban (Gen. xxix, 18; xxx, 20; xxxiv, 12; 1 Sam. xviii, 26; Exod. xxii, 16, 17; Josh, xv, 18; Hos. iii, 2). (See Senkenberg, De juribus dotiwn, Giessen, 1729 ; Walch, De privilegio dotis Judoam, Jena, 1786.) See Marriaob.
Dozology ((^oloXoyia, a praising, giving glory), an ascription of glory or praise to God.
1. DooDologies in N, 7".— Short ascriptions, which may be called doxologiea, abound in the Psalms (e. g. xcvi, 6 ; cxil, 1 ; cxiii, 1), and were used in the synagogue. We naturally, therefore, find the apostles udng them ; e. g. Rom. xi, 86; Ephes. iii, 21; 1 Tim. i, 17. The Apocalypse (xix. 1) gives, as a celestial doxology, ** Alleluia! Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power unto the Lord our God ;" and another (v, 18), ** Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, forever and ever." The song of the angels, Luke ii, 14, is a doxology (see below, No. 2). The doxology at the close of the Lord's Prayer — " for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen" — ^is thought by most critics to be an interpo- lation. It is not used in the Roman liturgy in re- peating the Lord's Prayer, but is used in the worship of the Greek Church, and in all Protestant churches. See Lord's Prater.
2. IMurgical Doxologies. — ^There are three doxolo- giea of special note, wUch have been in use in Church worship from a very early period, viz. : (1.) The Less- er Doxology, or Gloria Patri, originally in the form, " Glory, be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;" to which was added later, ** world with- out end ;" and later still the form became what it is now : '* Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen." The use of this noble doxology has been a constant testimo- ny to the Church's faith in the Holy Trinity. In the Church of England it must be said or sung at the end of the reading of every psalm ; in the Protestant Epis- copal Church it may be said or sung at the end of every psalm, but either it or the greater doxology must be said or sung at the end of the whole portion of Psalms for the day. For further details, see Glo- ria Patri. (2.) Hie Greater Doxology, or Gloria m Excelsig, called also the Angelical Hymn (q. v.), a dox- ology of praise and thanksgiving founded on the song of the angels, Luke xi, 14 (** Glory be to God on hijrh," etc.). For its h>rm and history, see Gloria in Ex- CBL8IS. It is used in the eucharistic services of the Church of England, the Methodist Episcopal and Pro- testant Episcopal churches, and, in fact in moct Pro- testant churches. (8.) The Trisagion (Latin Tersanc- tusy, a doxology as old as the second century, begin- ning with the words ** Therefore, with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious name." It is used in the communion service of the Church of England, the Methodist Episcopal, Protestant Episcopal, and some other Protestant churches. For its form and history, see Trisagion.
