<p> <strong> NIGER. </strong> The second name of <strong> [[Symeon]] </strong> , one of the prophets and teachers in the [[Church]] of [[Antioch]] ( Acts 13:1 ). His name Symeon shows his [[Jewish]] origin, and [[Niger]] was probably the [[Gentile]] name which he assumed. Nothing further is known of him. </p> <p> Morley Stevenson. </p> | |||

<p> [[Surname]] of Simeon, second of the five teachers and prophets of the [[Antioch]] church (Acts 13:1). ("black".) [[Probably]] an African proselyte, because he is associated with [[Lucius]] of [[Cyrene]] in Africa. His [[Hebrew]] name, Simeon, shows his Hebrew extraction. </p> | |||

<p> Designation of Simeon, one of the teachers and prophets at Antioch. Acts 13:1 . [[Niger]] is the [[Latin]] for 'black,' and [[Simeon]] may have been so named because of his dark complexion; but this is not a necessary conclusion. </p> | |||

<p> (Νίγερ , i.e. Lat. niger, or black) is the additional or distinctive name given to the [[Symeon]] (Συμεών ) who was one of the teachers and prophets in the [[Church]] of [[Antioch]] (Acts 13:1). He is not known except in that passage. The name was a common one among the Romans; and the conjecture that he was an African proselyte, and was called [[Niger]] on account of his complexion, is unnecessary as well as destitute otherwise of any support. His name, Symeon, shows that he was a [[Jew]] by birth; and, as in other similar cases (e.g. Saul, [[Paul]] — Silas, Silvanus), he may be supposed to have taken the other name as more convenient in his intercourse with foreigners. He is mentioned second among the five who officiated at Antioch, and perhaps we may infer that he had some pre-eminence among them in point of activity and influence. It is impossible to decide (though Meyer makes the attempt) who of the number were prophets (προφῆται ), and who were teachers (διδάσκαλοι ). (See [[Simeon]]). </p> | |||

<p> A great river of [[Western]] Africa, whose head-waters rise amid the Kong Mountains behind [[Sierra]] Leone; flowing NE. as far as [[Timbuctoo]] (2 m. from the river), it there bends gradually southward, receives from the E. its great affluent the Benuë, and about 100 m. from the coast begins to form a wide forest and jungle-covered delta (larger than that of the Nile), and finally flows into the [[Gulf]] of [[Guinea]] by 22 mouths after a course of some 2600 m. Forms, with the Benuë, an invaluable highway into the heart of the country; its upper and middle parts, under the names Joliba, &c., are within the French sphere, and the lower portion below [[Say]] is under English authority. </p> | |||
