Slavery; The Mosaic Law made various humane provisions as to the status and treatment of slaves. The N.T. nowhere forbids slavery. But it inculcates principles which must prove fatal to an institution based on a supposed inferiority in individual and social rights. And the modern disappearance of slavery in Christianized societies testifies to the sure working of the N.T. principles. See especially, 1 Cor. 7:21-24²¹Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. ²²For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. ²³Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. ²⁴Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. (1 Corinthians 7:21‑24); Eph. 6:5-9⁵Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; ⁶Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; ⁷With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: ⁸Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. ⁹And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him. (Ephesians 6:5‑9); Col. 3:22-4:1²²Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: ²³And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; ²⁴Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. ²⁵But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. ¹Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. (Colossians 3:22‑4:1), and the Epistle to Philemon.

(Nehemiah 4:11); Luke 11:49; 19:27⁴⁹Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: (Luke 11:49)
²⁷But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. (Luke 19:27).

Slaying, unpremeditatedly. Num. 35:11¹¹Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares. (Numbers 35:11); Deut. 4:42; 19:3⁴²That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbor unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live: (Deuteronomy 4:42)

(Deuteronomy 19:3); Josh. 20:3³That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. (Joshua 20:3).

⁴But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: ⁵And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. ⁶And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, ⁷And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. ⁸Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. ⁹And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. ¹⁰But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. ¹¹And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. ¹²And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: ¹³For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it. ¹⁴And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. ¹⁵And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. ¹⁶And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. ¹⁷And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. ¹⁸And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: ¹⁹Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: ²⁰Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. ²¹And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. ²²Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither.

Keneseth), was a term applied both to the congregation in a provincial town, and to the room in which it met during the week for mutual instruction, disputation, and administration of justice, and on the sabbath for prayer and praise, not sacrifice. The institution of the synagogue dates probably from the Captivity in Babylon. There are said to have been 480 synagogues in Jerusalem, but this is probably an exaggeration.

The principal officers of the Synagogue were:

(1) The Batlanim (men of leisure). These were the “Rulers of the Synagogue” also called the “shepherds” and the “elders” they had special seats of honor assigned them during divine worship (Acts 13:15¹⁵And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on. (Acts 13:15); Matt. 23:6⁶And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, (Matthew 23:6)). They also formed the local Sanhedrin or tribunal.

(2) The Shellach (Delegate). He was one of the elders, delegated by the Chief Shepherd (Parnas) to recite the most sacred portions of the liturgy, and be the mouthpiece of the congregation.

(3) The Chazzan (literally Inspector), the permanent minister or attendant (Luke 4:20²⁰And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. (Luke 4:20)), whose duties were partly ecclesiastical, partly civil. He frequently acted as schoolmaster.

(4) The Methurgeman (Interpreter). As the synagogue came principally into use in later times, when Hebrew was not well-known and Greek and Aramaic were more generally used in common life, the Law was expounded to the congregation by an interpreter. This word Methurgeman, or Turgeman, has been corrupted into the modern Dragoman.

Synagogues, Christ teaches in, Matt. 12:9⁹And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: (Matthew 12:9); Luke 4:16¹⁶And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. (Luke 4:16); John 6:59; 18:20⁵⁹These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. (John 6:59)
²⁰Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. (John 18:20).

Paul preaches in, Acts 13:5; 14:1; 18:4⁵And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister. (Acts 13:5)
¹And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. (Acts 14:1)
⁴And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. (Acts 18:4).

Syntyche, sy̆n′-ty̆-chē, “fortunate”; Phil. 4:2²I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. (Philippians 4:2).

Syracuse, sȳr′-ă-cūse; the chief city of Syria. Acts 28:12¹²And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days. (Acts 28:12).

Syria, sy̆r′-ĭ-ă; was a country along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, and extending inland to Mesopotamia. In early times its capital was Damascus. After the Roman conquest the capital was Antioch. Judg. 10:6⁶And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the Lord, and served not him. (Judges 10:6).

Syriack, sy̆r′-ĭ-ăck; belonging to Syria. Dan. 2:4⁴Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation. (Daniel 2:4).

Syria-damascus, sy̆r′-ĭ-ă–dă-măs′-cŭs. 1 Chron. 18:6⁶Then David put garrisons in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went. (1 Chronicles 18:6).

Syria-maachah, sy̆r-ĭ-ă–mā′-ă-chäh. 1 Chron. 19:6⁶And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah. (1 Chronicles 19:6).

Syrians; Aramæans, sy̆r′-ĭ-ănṡ; Heb. Arâm; Gk. σύροι; Lat. Syri. Aram is in O.T. the name for a large region extending from Mesopotamia, of which it included a part, to Syria and Arabia Petræa. The Syrians are one branch of the Semites, and their language, Aramaic, a dialect of the Semitic language, which became the language of western Mayra, and the common language of Palestine. For the relations of Israel and Judah with Syria see BABYLONIA; ASSYRIA. Gen. 25:20²⁰And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. (Genesis 25:20); Deut. 26:5⁵And thou shalt speak and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous: (Deuteronomy 26:5). Subdued by David. 2 Sam. 8; 10.
