-^Judah is the name of the worshipers of Jhvh, who were 

 united under the leadership of David about 1000 b. c. David was 

 not an Israelite, but an Edomite. See n. 18 to my paper The Aryan 

 Ancestry of Jesus in The Open Court, Chicago, April, 1909 ; cf. p. 

 358 of my paper The Burning Bush, cited above, n. 20, and my 

 paper on ^lidian and Sinai (see above, n. 11 ). p. 506. 1. 2; p. 507, 

 1. 36; also Erbt's remarks in OriciifaHstische Litei'atiirccitinig, July, 

 191 1, col. 298, 1. 19. For the sheepmen of Judah see p. 284, n. 5 

 of my paper on Leah and Rachel, cited above, n. 19 ; cf. my paper 

 on the five Assyrian stems la'u in the Journal of the Anicricaji 

 Oriental Society, vol. xxxi. 



-* In Syriac, habbdltd (or hebdltd, cbdltd) means herd, drove, 

 especially of camels ; cf. Obil, the name of David's keeper of camels, 

 I Chronicles, xxvii., 30 (see Encyclopccdia Biblica, col. 6). Hebel, 

 the Heb. form of Abel, may be connected with hobil, to lead. The 

 name of Jabal, the father of such as dwell in tents and of such as 

 have cattle, Genesis, iv., 20, may be derived from the same root ; cf. 

 Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible, vol. i., p. 5*^. The original form 

 of Jabal seems to have been J obil; the Greek Bible has Iw/SeX (and 

 inBHA for IHBHA). Hebel may be a subsequent modification 

 of Hobil, due to a popular etymology combining the name with Heb. 

 hebel (for hdbil) breath, transitoriness ; see below, n. 27. For 

 Jdbll = Hobil cf. my remarks on Jair= Me'ir, p. 513, 1. 24 of my 

 paper cited above^ n. 11. The name Moses, Heb. Moseh, may have 

 had originally an 'A in at the end so that it would be equivalent to 

 Joshua ; see /. c, 1. 26. and for the vanishing of the final laryngeal, 

 op. cit., p. 522, 1. 47; also Haupt. The Book of Esther (Chicago, 

 1908), p. 74, 1. 14. 



-■' Cf. p. 528, 1. 38 of my paper cited above, n. 11. 



-" In Canaan a bloodless offering smacked of Canaanite heathen- 

 ism ; cf. the remarks on p. 44 of the translation of Judges in the 

 Polychrome Bible. Skixxer says on p. 106 of his new commentary
