Huisseau, Jacques d', 1, a French theologian, was born in the latter half of the 16th centiu-y. He en- tered the monastery at iMarraoiitiers, and was made great prior of his order in 1594. Refusing in 1604 ad- mission to Matthieu Renusson, visitor of the order of St. Benoit for the province of Tours, he was deposed from his position, deprived of all power, and excommunica- ted. He, however, succeeded in regaining his position. At the time of his death. Sept, 24, 1626, he was provin- cial of the Benedictine congregation of exempts in France. He published, for the use of his abbey, a col- lection of prayers, entitled Enchiridion Precum (Toiu's, 1(307) : — Supplement a la Chronique des Abbes de Mar- vioutiers (1615) : — Ckroniqite des Prieurs (1625). This last-named -work Huisseau translated himself into Lat- in.— Hoefor, Nouv. Biog. Gen. xxv, 4G8 sq.
Huisseau, Jacques d', 2, another French minis- ter and theologian, who flourished in the 17th century. But little is known of his early life. He was professor of theology at Saumur, and rendered himself famous by his La disciple des Eglises Reformees de France, avec un recueildes observations et questions sur la plupart des ar- ticles tire des actes des si/nodes natioriaux (1650, 4to, prob- ably published at Saumur; Geneva, 1666, 4to; Bionne, near Orleans, 1675, r2mo). The great success which followed this work estranged from him many of his ac- quaintances and associates in the Church, who envied his prospects, and who even presented complaints against him in 1656, meeting, however, with no encouragement from the superiors of Huisseau. In 1670 he published La Reunion da Christianisrne, ou la matiere de rejoindre les Chretiens dans une seule Confession de foi (Saumur, 12mo). It favored the union of all who believed in Christ as the God or man Saviour, .ind was attacked by L?. Bastide in his Remarques sur un livre intitule ^^ La Reunion" etc. (1670, 12mo), and it v.-as condemned bj' the Synod of Anjou. Huisseau endeavored to explain his views, but the sjmod declined to give him a hear- ing, and finally deposed him from the priesthood. He emigrated to England, and was remstated as minister without being obliged to retract. He died there before 1690, about 70 years of age. — BiograpMe UniverstLc, Lxvii, 441.
Huit, Epiiraim, a dissenting English minister, of whose early hfe but little is known. He was minister for some time at Roxhall, Warwickshire, and finally em- igrated to this country-, and settled in New England. He became minister of a congregation at Windsor, Comi., and died in 1644. Huit published, in his mother couu- try, Prophecie of Daniel explained (Lond, 1643, 4to). — AUibone, Diet, of Authors, i, 913.
Huk'kok (Hebrew Chtikkok', ppH, incised; Sept. 'l:iuji: V. r. 'Io/c«j'rt,Yidg. I/ucusa), a town on the bor- der of Naphtali, near Zebulon, not far from Jordan, west of Aznoth-Tabor, and in the direction of Asher (Josh, xix, 34); elsewhere AVTitten Hukok (pp^n, Chukok', 1 Chron. vi, 75 ; Sept. 'Iukc'ik, Yulg. Ilucac) ; but proba- bl)', in this latter passage, erroneously for Helkath (Josh, xxi, 35; comp. xix, 25). Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s. v. Icoc), as wcU as Benj. of Tudela (ii, 421), allude to it. It is doubtless identical with the modern small village Yakuk, between the plain of Genesareth and Safed (Robinson's Researches, iii,App. p. 133; £ib- lioth. Sac. 1843, p. 80), said to contain the grave of Ha- bakkuk (see new edit, of Researches, iii, 81; and comp. Schwarz, Palestine, p. 182).

Hul (Heb. Chul, ^W, a circle ; Sept. OvX), the name of the second son of Aram (B.C. cir. 2414), who appears to have given name to an Aramaean region settled by him (Gen. x, 23; 1 Chron. i, 17). Josephus {Ant. i, G, 4) places it {OvXov, as Havercamp cojrects for "Ornoc) in Armenia, comparing it with the district Cholobottne, according to the conjecture of Bochart {Phaleg, ii, 9). Michaehs, taking the word in the sense of a hollow or
valley (Spicileg. ii, 135), imderstands Coele-Syria (comp. Josephus, Ant. xii, 7, 1 ; 1 jMacc. iii, 13) ; and Schultens (Parad. p. 282) refers it to the southern part of ]\Ieso- potamia, from the signification saiid. More probable seems the identification proposed by Rosenm idler (.4/- terthum. i, 2, p. 253) with the district now called Huleh, around the lake Merom, at the upper sources of the Jor- dan (Burckhardt, Trav. i, 87), which, although a small tract and no proper part of Aramaja, seems to be sup- ported by the rendering of Saadias (compare Schwarz, Palestine, p. 41, note). According to Dr. Robinson, the name el-Huleh, as used by the present inhabitants, be- longs strictly to the northern part of the basin in Mhich the lake lies, but is commonly extended to embrace the whole; its different quarters fall within various juris- dictions, and have special names {Researches, iii, 342). A great portion of this northern tract near the lake is now an impassable marsh, probably in consequence of the choking up of the streams by rubbish (Bibliotheca Sacra, 1846, p. 200, 201). The rc'mainder is a ven- fer- tile plain, forming a valley near Banias (Robinson's Re- searches, new ed. iii, 396-398). Traces of the name Hul or Huleh appear in the district Ulatha (OvXci^a) around Paneas, mentioned by Josephus as originally belonging to Zenodorus, and bestowed by Augustus upon Herod (Atit. X.V, 10, 3 ; comp. Wars, i, 20, 4). — Gesenius. See Meroji.
