Jarmoch (Reland, Palmstina, p. 283) or Jarmuk (Schwarz, Pukst. p. 53), a river of Palestine ("1^""') mentioned in the Talmud {Paruh, viii, 10 ; Baba Ba- tkra, 746) as emptying into the Jordan ; the Ilieromax (q. V.) of the Greek and Roman writers, and the modern Yurmulc.
Jar'muth (Heb. Yarmuth', Tl^"^, height; Sept. 'Ifpi/toi'S), the name of two places.
1. A town in the plain of Judah (Josh, xv, 35), in- habited after the Babylonian captivity (Neh. xi, 29) ; originally the seat of one of the Canaanitish kings [see Piram] defeated by Joshua (Josh, x, 3, 5, 23 ; xii, 11 ; XV, 35). Eusebius (Onomasf. s. v. 'Itpifiovg, also 'Ifp- H0X''>q) sets down Jarmucha or Jermus as ten Roman miles from Eleutheropolis towards Jerusalem, but else- where Jarmuth (s. v. 'It^inovSt, doubtless the same place) less correctly at four miles' distance, although in the neighborhood of Eshtaol, which is ten miles Irom Eleutheropolis. Dr. Robinson (Researches, ii, 344) iden- tified the site as that of Yurnmk, a village about seven miles north-east of Beit-Jibrin (Schwarz, Palest, p. 85). As the name implies, it is situated on a ridge (tell Er- mud or A rmuth, a different pronunciation for Yarmuth : Van de Velde, Narratire, ii, 193). It is a small and poor place, but contains a few traces, in its hewn stones and ruins, of former strength and greatness (Porter, llawUmnk. p. 281 ; Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 324; Tob- ler, l)rlltt Wunierumj, p. 120, 462).
2. A Levitical city in the tribe of Issachar (Josh.xxi, 29), elsewhere called Remetii (Josh, xix, 21) and Ra- JiOTii (1 Chron. vi, 73). Schwarz {Palest, p. 157) sup- poses it was the Ramah of Samuel (1 Sam. xix, 22), which he identifies with the modern village of Rameh, north-west of Shechem ; but this place lies within the territory of Manasseh. The associated names seem to indicate a locality on the eastern edge of the plain of Esdraelon. See Rejietii.
Jaro'ah (Heb. Yaro'dch, HT^^, perhaps born under the new moon; Sept. has 'A^ai v. r. 'ItV(,Vulg. Jaru), son of (iilead and father of Huri, of the Gadites resident hi H.-ishan ( 1 Chn.n. v, 14). B.C. long ante 782.
Jarque or Xarque, 1). Fisancisco, a South Amer- ican Jesuit, flourished in the 17th century. He is dis- tinguished as the author of Estado presente de las Mis- sioiie.f en el Tnciiman, Paraguay e Rio de la Plata (1687, 4to ), for whiih his intimate knowledge of the native el- ement cinincnily 111 led liini. It is remarkable how the Jesuits have succeeded in acquiring foreign languages, and how thorough and accurate is their knowledge of the nations with whom they are brought in contact. (J.H.W.)
Jarratt, Devereux, an early Protestant Episco- pal minister, was born in the county of New Kent,Va., Jan. 6 ((). S.), 1732-33. His early education was neg- lected, and he had few opportunities of receiving in- struction in youth ; but he so far improved himself as to De able, at the age of nineteen, to take charge of a neigh- boring school. Soon after, he entered a family, in which one part of his duties was to read a sermon " of Flavel's every night— a task which he performed at first with
reluctance. The effect of these discourses was to con- vince him of sin. He now perused Russell's Sermons and Burkett's Exposition of the N. T. ; but, being sub- jected to many temptations, he relapsed into his former state. He was finally relieved by a passage in Isaiah (Ixii, 12), and resolved to enter the ministry, for which piurpose he went to England in 1762. On his return he ser\'ed at Bath, Va., where he was emmently successful after some time, although at first his labors appear to have been disregarded. He died January 29, 1801. He was the author of three volumes of Sermons, and A Series of Letters to a Friend, republished in 1806 in connection with his AutoUofjraphy. — Spragut, Ann. v, 214; Meth- odist Quarterly Review, 1855, ]3. 502.
Jarrige, Pierre, a French Jesuit, who was born at TuUe in 1605, is celebrated in history by his desertion from and severe attacks upon the Jesuitical order. He was a very popidar teacher and preacher at the time, when he joined the Calvinists in 1647 ; but, meeting with great opposition in France, and his life even beuig threatened, he went to Leyden, Holl., where he preached under the auspices of the State Church. INleanwhile the Jesuitical order condemned him to suffer deatli, first by hanging, then by burning. This provoked the so celebrated work of his, Les Jesuites mis sur Veclwfaud (Leyden, 1649, 12mo, and often), in which he thoroughly exposed the workings of that nefarious clerical order. A controversy ensued, which finally resulted in the re- turn of Jarrige, in 1650, to the Jesuits — due, no doubt, more to the threats against his life Jhan anything else. He certainly turned the table like a zealous Jesuit, and now again condemned as heretics the A-ery Christians with whom he had so lately associated, and whose cause he had professed to have embraced. He died Sept. 20, 1660. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Gen. xxvi, 383 sq. ; Bayle, Historical Dictionary, s. v. (J. H. W.)
