Αλλοῖριοεπισκοπος, 8, ὁ, from αλλοτριος another's, and επισκοπεw to inspect, ob

serve.

A curious inspector, or meddler, in other people's affairs, * a busy body in other men's matters. occ. I Pet. iv. 15, where it seems particularly to refer to the public affairs of other people, a busy and insolent meddling with which was a vice whereto the Jews of this time were remarkably addicted †.

Αλλοῖριος, α, ον, from αλλος other. Belonging to other, foreign, or strange to oneself.

L. Another's, belonging to another. Heb. ix. 25. Rom. iv. 14. comp. Luke xvi. 12. II. Spoken of a country, Strange, foreign, belonging to other people. Acts vii. 6. Heb. xi. 9.

brings forth and dispenses the spirit of the divine law. Comp. 2 Cor. iii. 6. Rom. ii. 27, 29.

This word in the LXX generally answers to the Heb. דש; and in Deut. xxv. 4, the passage referred to by the Apostle,

the occurs.

Αλοίος, 8, ό, ή, και το-ον, from a neg.. and λοδος reason.

I. Unendued with reason, irrational, brute. occ. 2 Pet. ii. 12. Jude ver. 10. The word is applied in the same sense, Wisd. xi. 15. δο ζωων and αλοδων are in like manner joined together by Josephus, De Bel. lib. iv. cap. 3. § 10. & Cont. Apion. lib. i. § 25. & lib. ii. § 29. II. Unreasonable, absurd. occ. Acts xxv. 27. ΑΛΟΗ, ης, ή, from the Heb. אהלים or אהלות, which Aquila renders by αλωή, Cant. iv. 14.

John xix. 39. comp. Psal. xlv. 8. Prov. vii. 17. Cant. iv. 14. It is evident that the resinons and aromatic qualities of this wood rendered it very proper in embalming dead bodies.

"ΑΛΟΩ and ̔ΑΛΩΜΙ, perhaps from Heb. הלא to cast off, remove. To take, an obsolete V. which occurs not in the N. T. but is inserted on account of its derivatives.

Ἄλς, άλος, ὁ, from άλς, ή, the sea, which may be derived either from the Greek V. αλλομαι to leap, on account of the impetuous motion of its waters, or rather from the Heb. אלץ to urge, molest, because continually urged by winds and tides. So its Heb. name ים implies tumultuous motion.

Salt. occ. Mark ix. 49. Ἅλυκος, η, ον, from άλς salt.

Impregnated with salt, brackish, salt. occ. James iii. 12. This word is used in the same sense by Aristotle, Theophrastus, and Antigonus Carystius. See Wolfius and Wetstein, to whom, concerning the true reading of the latter part of the verse, add Griesbach and Macknight. Αλυπολερος, α, ον, Comparat. of αλυπος free from grief, which from a neg. and λυπη grief, sorrow.

More free from grief or sorrow. occ. Phil. ii. 28.

Άλυσις, 105, alt, εως, ή, from a neg. and λυw to loose.

A chain. Mark v. 3, 4, & al. Eph. vi. 20, Πρέσβευω εν άλυσει, I discharge my embassy in a chain. The Apostle in these words alludes to the custom of the Roinans, among whom it was usual, as we learn from Josephus, Seneca, and Atheneus, to confine prisoners not only by shutting them up in prison, but also by chaining their right arm to the left arm of a soldier who guarded them. Comp. Acts xxviii. 16, 20. xii. 6, and see Grotius on those passages, and Lardner's Cred. of Gosp. Hist. vol. i. book i. chap. x. 9. and Macknight's note on Eph.

Αλυσιτελης, εος, ὡς, ό, ή, και το αλυσίΐελες, from a neg. and λυσιλελης profitable. See under Λυσιλελεω.

Unprofitable, q. d. that will not quit the cost. occ. Heb. xiii. 17, where however the word is used by a Litotes, and im

ports exceedingly hurtful, or dangerous So in Homer, II. ii. line 269, αχρειον ιδιωτ looking unprofitably, means looking most niserably; and Dr. Clarke, in his note on that passage, shews that the best Roman writers in like manner use inutilis unprofitable, in the sense of extremely wicked, hurtful or pernicious. Comp. Philem. ver. 11. Eph. v. 11. See Blackwall's Sacred Classics, vol. i. page 172. ́Αλων, ωνος, ή, from άλως the same, which may be derived either from the Heb. עלס to agitate, or from the Heb. or Syriac אלץ to urgeforce.

A threshing-floor, where corn is threshed and winnowed. occ. Mat. iii. 12. Luke iii. 17.

Αλωπηξ, εκος, ἡ. The Greek Etymologists derive it from αλωπος cunning, or from άλᾳν ωπας deceiving or escaping the eyes, because it is a solitary animal* wandering about by itself, and hiding itself in holes; but, like the Latin name vulpes, it may be derived from the Heb. על to cover Our English name for, and the German fuchs, from the V. foxa, which in the Islandic signifies to deceive, will correspond to either of the above derivations of the Greek αλωπηξ.

I. A fox, a well-known animal. occ. Mat. viii. 20. Luke ix. 58.

II. A fox, a crafty, cunning, malicious person. Τι γαρ εσιν αλλο λοιδορος και κακοηθης ανθρωπος η ΑΛΩΠΗΞ; For what is an opprobrious and malicious man, but a for?" says Epictetus in Arrian, lib. i. cap. 3. So Shakespeare,

Ἁμαρλια, ας, ή, from ἁμαρλεω to deviate, sin. 1. Sin, or deviation from the divine law in general. See 1 John iii. 4. comp. Rom. iv. 15.

II. Original sin, with which all mankind, descended from fallen Adam by natural generation, are universally infected from their conception and birth, Rom. v. 12. vi. 12. vii. 8, 9. comp. Gen. v. 3. Eph. iv. 22. 1 Cor. xv. 49. Gen. viii. 21. Psal. Iviii. 3, 4. Prov. xxii. 15. Job xi. 12. xiv. 4.

III. Actual sin. James i. 15. ii. 15. 1 John iii. 8. & al. freq.

IV. Original and actual sin considered together. 2 Cor. v. 21. John i. 29. comp. Rom. v. 16. On Rom. vii. 13. comp. Hos. x. 15, in Heb. and Eng. Marg.

V. A sacrifice for sin, a sin-offering, on which the sin was put, or to which it was imputed. (See Lev. iv. 4, 15. comp. Lev. i. 4. xvi. 21.) occ. 2 Cor. v. 21. comp. Heb. ix. 28. Isa. liii. 6, 10, 12. 1 Pet. ii. 24. ̓Αμαλια is used in the same sense by the LXX. Lev. iv. 21, 25, 34. (comp. ver. 8, 20, 29.) Lev. v. 9, 12. vi. 25, as ἁμαρλημα likewise is Lev. iv. 29. And this manner of expression exactly corresponds to the Heb. where both the sin and the sin-offering is denoted by the same word חטאה or חטאת. On Rom. viii. 3. comp. Heb. x. 6, 8, and LXX in Psal. xl. 6; and see Whitby's note on Rom.

VI. Punishment of sin. Rev. xviii. 4, where see Vitringa's Comment, and comp. Zech. xiv. 19. Gen. xix. 15.

VII. A deviating from truth, falsehood.
John viii. 46; where see Campbell.
The LXX generally use ἁμαρια for the

Αμαρτυρος, 8, ὁ, ἡ, from a neg. and μαρτυρ a witness.

Without witness. occ. Acts xiv. 17; where see Wetstein.

Αμαρτωλος, ε, ὁ, ἡ, from ἀμαρίεw to deviate, sin.

I. A sinner in general. Mat. ix. 13. Heb. vii. 26. 1 Tim. i. 15; but it frequently denotes a heinous and habitual sinner, Mat. xi. 19. Mark ii. 15. Luke vii. 37. & al. Comp. Macknight on Gal. ii. 15. II. Sinful. occ. Rom. vii. 13. Αμαχος, 8, ὁ, ἡ, from a neg. and μαχομαι to fight, contend.

Not contentious, not quarrelsome. осс. 1 Tim. iii. 3. Tit. iii. 2. Αμaw, w, either from the Greek ἁμα together, or immediately from the Heb. עם to collect; because corn, &c. when reaped or mown, is collected together. To reap, mow, or cut down. occ. Jam. v. 4. In the LXX it constantly answers to the Heb. to cut off, cut down.

Αμεθυσος, ε, ὁ, from a neg. and μεθυ wine. The amethyst, a species of precious stones. occ. Rev. xxi. 20. Pliny says, "the reason assigned for its name is because though it approaches to the colour of wine it falls short of it, and stops at a violet colour."

+ Others think it is called Amethyst, be-
cause its colour resembles wine mixed
with water, and in this view also de-
rives its name from a neg. and μεθυ
wine, which see under Μεθυσκω.
In the LXX it answers to the Heb.
