Tel Athar now, according to [[Van]] de Velde. </p> | | <p> is identified by lieutenant [[Conder]] (Tent [[Work]] in Palestine, 2:336). with a ruined site, el-Atr, one mile north-west of Beit-Jibrin; but it is doubtful if the territory of [[Simeon]] extended so far north. [[Van]] de Velde's [[Tell]] Athan, "a little to the northeast of Beersheba," which is adopted by Tristram (Bible Places, page 42), does not appear on the [[Ordinance]] Map. </p> |

| <p> E'THER, n. L. oether Gr. to burn, to shine Eng. weather. </p> 1. A thin, subtil matter, much finer and rarer than air, which, some philosophers suppose, begins from the limits of the atmosphere and occupies the heavenly space. <p> There fields of light and liquid ether flow. </p> 2. In chimistry, a very light, volatile and inflammable fluid, produced by the distillation of alcohol or rectified spirit of wine, with an acid. It is lighter than alcohol, of a strong sweet smell, susceptible of great expansion, and of a pungent taste. It is so volatile, that when shaken it is dissipated in an instant. | |

Any similar oxide of hydrocarbon radicals; as, amyl ether; valeric ether. </p> <p> (3): </p> <p> (n.) [[Supposed]] matter above the air; the air itself. </p> <p> (4): </p> <p> (n.)

| <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>
