[[In]] chimistry, a very light, volatile and inflammable fluid, produced by the distillation of alcohol or rectified spirit of wine, with an acid.

<p> '''''ē´thẽr''''' ( עתר , <i> '''''‛ether''''' </i> ; Ἀθέρ , <i> '''''Athér''''' </i> ): A town in [[Judah]] (Joshua 15:42 ), near Libnah, assigned to [[Simeon]] (Joshua 19:7 ). <i> '''''Kḣ el ‛Atr''''' </i> (identical in spelling with Ether) is possibly the site. It is near <i> '''''Beit Jibrı̂n''''' </i> and is described as "an ancient site: cisterns, foundations, quarried rock and terraces" ( <i> PEF </i> , III, 261, 279). </p> | |||

<p> (Hebrews id. עֵתֶר , abundance), one of the cities in the plain (Shephelah) of [[Judah]] (mentioned between [[Libnah]] and Ashan, [[Joshua]] 15:42, Sept. ῎Αθερ v.r. Ι᾿θάκ ), eventually assigned to [[Simeon]] (mentioned between [[Remmon]] and Ashan, Joshua 19:7, Sept. ῎Αθερ v.r. Ι᾿εθέρ ). [[In]] the parallel list of the towns of Simeon in 1 [[Chronicles]] 4:32, TOCHEN is substituted for Ether. In the [[Onomasticon]] [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] mention it twice (s.v. Ε᾿θέρ, Ether; Ι᾿εθέρ, [[Jether]] — in the latter case confounding it with JATTIR, a city of priests, which contained friends of [[David]] during his troubles under Saul), and state that it was then a considerable place (κώμη μεγίστη ), retaining the name of Jethira (Ι᾿εθειρά, Ι᾿εθαρά ), very near Malatha, in the interior of the district of Daroma, that is, in the desert country below [[Hebron]] and to the east of Beersheba. At Beit-Jibrin [[Van]] de Velde heard of a tell Athar in this neighborhood, but could not learn its distance or direction (Memoir, page 311). [[For]] the present, we may conjecturally place it at Beit-Auwa, in the vicinity of the associated localities, S. of Beit-Jibrin and W. of Hebron; a ruined village, covering low hills on both sides of the path, and exhibiting foundations of hewn stones, leading to the inference that it was once an extensive town (Robinson, Researches, 3:10). </p> | |||

<p> A volatic liquid prepared from the distillation of alcohol and sulphuric acid at high temperature; is colourless, and emits a sweet, penetrating odour; is highly combustible; a useful solvent, and an important anæsthetic. </p> | |||
