<p> (חָנוּת, ''Chanuth';'' Sept. merely Graecizes, | <p> ( '''''חָנוּת''''' , ''Chanuth';'' Sept. merely Graecizes, '''''Ἡ''''' '''''Χερέθ''''' ), properly a vault or cell (so the margin) within the dungeon, and under ground, for the separate confinement of prisoners ( Jeremiah 37:16). Others (Scheid, in the ''Diss. Lugdun.'' p. 988) understand it to mean a curved post, i.e. ''The Stocks'' (comp. Jeremiah 20:2-3; Jeremiah 29:26). The idea conveyed in either case is that the prophet suffered the most severe and loathsome imprisonment. (See [[Prison]]). </p> | ||
