Handle (as a noun) occurs but once (Cant, v, 5) in the plural (nis3, kapputh', lit. hands), for the thumb- pit ces or knobs of the bolt or latch to a door (compare niT', arms of a throne, etc., 1 Kings x, 19). See Lock.
Handmaid or handmaiden (tinS'iIJ, shiphchah', or n«X,«OT«/«',Gen.x\'i, l,etc.; Ruth iii,9,etc.; voiiXr], Luke i,48), a midd-senant (as both Heb. terms are often translated; the latter being rendered "handmaid" only in a metaphorical or self-deprecatory sense). We find on the paintings in the tomljs of EgN^it various repre- sentations of female domestics employed in waiting on tlicir mistresses, sometimes at the bath, at others at the toilette, and likewise in bringing in refreshments and
among the German population, and to build up the Re- deemer's kingdom in this Western hemisphere. He was born of honorable and pious parentage in Halle Jan. 14, 1714. He was educated at the university, and set apart to the work of the ministry in 1744. He com- menced his duties in the large and laborious parish of Graba, and labored with great success. But when he heard of the spiritual destitution of his brethren in Amer- ica, and read their earnest appeals, his sympathies were strongly awakened, and he earnestly desired to go to their relief. He landed in Philadelphia April 5, 1748, and was welcomed at the Trappe by Dr. Muhlenberg with the salutation, " They that sow in tears shall reap in joy." He was placed at Lancaster, Pa., where he la- bored for several j'ears with great success. The con- gregation increased, and under his direction a flourish- ing school was established and sustained. " Our school," he says, " consists of English, Irish, and Germans, Lu- therans and Reformed ; and so anxious are the people to have their children instructed, that it is impossible to receive all who apply for admission." He subsequently took charge of the churches at New Providence and Hanover, and thence was transfen-ed to Germantown, Pa., and subsequentlv to Philadelphia, where he died Oct. 9, 17G4. '(M. L. S.)

Test, iii, -29), and is approved by Lowth and J. D. Michaclis. The old Latin version follows the Sept., " Nuncii pessimi ;" but Jerome translates from a text similar to our own, rendering the tin- upon an aucieut Egyp- clause as follows : " Et nuncii tui usque ad Hanes pervenerunt" (Sabbatier, Bihlior. Sacrorum Latin. Verss., ad loc). Jerome adds, in his commen- , , , . „. An upper servant or tary on the verse, "Intelligimus ultimam juxta Ethi-

309; Quatremere, Memoires, i, 500), which he, with Gesenius and others, supposes to be the same as Ile- rackopolis (Cif;j of Hercules) of Strabo (xvii, 812), the ruins of which are now called Andsieh (Edrisi, Afric. p. 512). The Coptic name was lines or Ehnes, and it was one of the ancient royal cities of Egypt. Ana- sieh stands on a high mound some distance west of the Nile, near the jiarallel of Benisuef. The great ob- jection to this theory is the distance of Antisieh from Zoan, which stood in the eastern part of the Delta, near the sea. (resenius remarks, as a kind of apology for the identification of Hanes with Heraclcopolis Magna, that the latter was formerly a royal city. It is true that in iManetho's list the 9th and" 10th djaiasties are said to ha\-e been of Heracleopolite kings ; but it has lately been suggested, on strong grounds, by Sir Gardner AVilkin- son, that this is a mistake in the case of the 9th dvnasty for Hermonthites (Rawlinson, Herod, ii, 348). If this supposition be correct as to the 9th dynasty, it must also be so as to the 10th ; but the circumstance of Hera- clcopolis being a royal city or not, a thousand years before Isaiah's time, is obviously of no consequence here.
