MAN'AHEM, [Heb. a comforter.] Of theTed of the 
Effenians : he was vicegerent to Hiliel. Manahem was 
a learned man for that age, and of great confideration 
among his left. He foretold Herod the Great, who was 
then but a fchool-boy, that he fhould one day be king; 
at the fame time recommending to him the virtues of juf- 
tice and moderation ; yet foretelling that he fhould tread 
thofe under foot, with all the duties of religion and hu¬ 
manity ; neverthelefs, that he would live in great glory 
and profperity: but, added he, “You cannot conceal 
yourlelf from the eyes of God, who will chaltife you at 
the end of your life, for all the evils committed by you.” 
Herod at firft flighted thefe predictions; but, when raifed 
to the regal dignity, he fent for Manahem, and enquired 
of him, how long he fhould reign ? Manahem not giving 
a direft anfwer, the king afked, “ Shall I reign ten years ?” 
Manahem replied, “Not ten only, but twenty, yea thirty.” 
Herod difmifled him, giving him his hand as a token of 
friendfhip, and always (bowed much efteem for the feCt 
of the Eifeneans. Afterwards, Herod took Manahem to 
be near his own perfon. Jofeph Anliq. lib. xv. cap. 13.

he pillaged the magazines of the late king Herod the Great, 
armed his people, and went to Jerufalem ; of which mak¬ 
ing himfelf malter, he drove out the Romans, and caufed 
himfelf to be proclaimed king. He put to death the high- 
prieft Ananias; and foon became infupportable by^iis 
cruelties and excefTes. Two men of the party of Eleazar 
encouraged the people to free themfelves from his tyran¬ 
ny ; Manahem was affaulted, and, after fome refiftance, 
was forfaken by his adherents, and forced to hide himfelf 
in a place called Ophlas ; w-hence he was taken the day- 
following, and put to death. This was A. D. 68, accord¬

MANAR', Mana'ar, or Mana'ra, [from the Ma¬ 
labar words man , fand, and aar, river.] A fmall ifland 
lying off the coaft of Ceylon, about fixty miles fouth-weft 
of Jafnapatam. Manar was formerly more flouriftiing 
than it is at prefent. The fort was fmall, but ftrong, 
fquare, and regular. The city now confiftsonly of a few 
tiled houfes, government-offices, and fome low huts in¬ 
habited by boatmen and fifhermen. At low water the 
ifland of Manar is feparated from Ceylon by a fmall 
winding river; but, when the tide flows, this river appears 
as an arm of the fea, and is about three miles over. It is 
called the Gulf of Manar. 
Manar is about 2-[- German leagues in length, and one 
in breadth, including a falt-river. The fort is fituated 
near the channel or ftrait which divides Manar from 
Ceylon. There are befides feven villages in the ifland. 
At the extreme end, where boat is taken for the coaft of 
Coromandel, there are four or five churches for the na¬ 
tives and Malabar Chriftians, befides that of Carcal ufed 
by the Dutch. The ifland is barren and fandy, with a 
few palmiras and cocoa-trees fcattered here and there. 
The' furrounding fea fupplies abundance of fiffi. The 
paflage frbm this ifland to Ramiferam, on the Coroman¬ 
del coaft, is not above twelve or fourteen leagues; but the 
paflage is interrupted by innumerable /hallows and land- 
banks, many of which are high and completely dry, ex-
