3. " Son" of Pahath-]Moab, and one of those who re- paired part of the walls of Jerusalem (Neh. iii, 11). B.C. 446. He is probably the same with one of the chief Israelites who joined in the sacred covenant of Nehemi- ah (Neh. x, 23). B.C. cir. 410.

rear Lebanon, mentioned in the Talmud {Demay, ii) ; accorcliDf,' to Schwarz (Pukst. p. G5), identical with the modern ^^abic Koroni, near the source of the Jordan; evidently the modern Jhi.ibeia, an important place in that region {liohinson, liexarc/ies, new ed. iii,380).
Has'rah ([lch.CIiasrah',n'^'qrj, iwverty ; Sept.'Eff- asoi V. r. '.Apac, Yuig. I/asra), the father (or mother) of Tikbath, and grandfather of Shallum, which last was liusband of Huldah the prophetess (2 Chron. xxxiv, 22). Tlie parallel passage (2 Kings xxii, 14) gives the name, prob. by transposition, in the form Harhas (Cll'in, Sept. 'Apaf, Vulg. A mas). Hasrah is said to have been " keeper of the wardrobe," perhaps the sacerdotal vest- ments ; if, indeed, that epithet does not rather refer to Shallum. B.C. considerablj' ante 623.

Hasse, Friedrich Rudolf, a German theologian, was born at Dresden June 29, 1808. After studying at Leipzic and BerUn, he established himself, in 1834, at the university of the latter city as privatdocent ; in 1836 he became extraordinary professor of Church History at the University of Greifswald, and in 1841 ordinary pro- fessor at the University of Bonn. Subsequently he was also appointed consistorial councillor. He died in 1862. His principal work is the excellent monograph Anselm von Canttrhurij (Leips. 1843-52,2 vols.), one of the best works of this class, and which had the merit of causing a more scientific treatment of the history of scholasti- cism. His Getsckickte des alien Bundes (Leips. 1863) is a course of lectures, and, as such, is meritorious. His Kirchenf/eschichte was published after his death by Koh- ler (Leips. 1864, 3 vols.).

Hatchment, a word corrupted from achievement, and signifying, in lieraldry, the armorial bearings of any person fidly emblazoned with shield, crest, supporters, etc. The word is used in England for the escutcheon liung up over a door after a funeral, and often in the church. Heraldry is thus supposed to have been for- merly connected with religion. The coat was said to be assumed with religious feeling, and at length restored to the sanctuani-, in token of thankful acknowledgment to Almighty God. — Farrar, Eccles. Dictionary, s. v.
