<p> Sometimes called also, in Hebrew, [[Moph,]] &nbsp;Hosea 9:6 , the ancient city of [[Memphis]] in Egypt. The ruins of it, though not to any great extent, are still found a few miles above Old Cairo, or Fostat, &nbsp;Isaiah 19:13 &nbsp; Jeremiah 2:16 &nbsp; 44:1 &nbsp; Ezekiel 30:13,16 . </p> <p> Memphis was the residence of the ancient kings of Egypt till the times of the Ptolemies, who commonly resided at Alexandria. Here, it is supposed, [[Joseph]] was a prisoner and a ruler, and here Moses stood before Pharaoh. The prophets, in the places above referred to, foretell the miseries Memphis was to suffer from the kings of [[Chaldea]] and Persia; and threaten the [[Israelites]] who should retire into Egypt, or should have recourse to the Egyptians, that they should perish in that country. In this city they fed and worshipped the sacred bull Apis, the embodiment of their false god Osiris; and Ezekiel says, that the lord will destroy the idols of Memphis, &nbsp;Ezekiel 30:13,16 . Memphis retained much of its splendor till it was conquered by the [[Arabians]] in the eighteenth or nineteenth year of the Hegira, [[A.]] [[D.]] 641; after which it was superseded as the metropolis of Egypt by Fostat, now Old Cairo, in the construction of which its materials were employed. The pyramids, in which its distinguished men were buried, still survive; but the magnificent city, that stretched along for many miles between them and the river, has almost wholly disappeared. </p>

<p> (Heb. id., נֹ '';'' Sept. Μέμφις; ''Vulg. Memphis,'' &nbsp;Isaiah 19:13; &nbsp;Jeremiah 2:16; &nbsp;Ezekiel 30:13; &nbsp;Ezekiel 30:16; doubtless identical with מֹ, foph; Sept. Μέμφις '';'' Vulg. ''Memphis,'' &nbsp;Hosea 9:6), a city of Egypt, better known bv its classic name ''Memphis.'' These forms are contracted from the ancient [[Egyptian]] common name, ''Men-Nufr,'' or ''Men Nefru,'' "the good abode," or perhaps "the abode of the good one;" also contracted in the [[Coptic]] forms ''menphi, memphi, menbe, membe'' (Memphitic), ''menrphe'' (Sahidic); in the Greek Μέμφις, and in the Arabic ''Menf.'' The [[Hebrew]] forms are to be regarded as representing colloquial forms of the name, current with the Shemites, if not with-the [[Egyptians]] also. As to the meaning of Memphis, [[Plutarch]] observes that it was interpreted to signify either the haven of good ones or the sepulcher of [[Osiris]] (καὶ τὴν πόλιν οἱ μὲν ὅρμον ἀγαθῶν ἑρυηνεύουσιν οἱ δ᾿ [ἰδί ]ως τάφον Ο᾿σίριδος, De Iside et Osiride, 20). It is probable that the epithet "''good'' " refers to Osiris, whose sacred animal [[Apis]] was here worshipped, and here had its burial-place, the Serapeum, whence the name of the village [[Busiris]] (''Pa-Hesar?'' "the [abode ?] of Osiris"), now represented in name, if not in exact site, by ''Abu-Sir,'' probably originally a quarter of Memphis. As the great upper Egyptian city is characterized in Nahum as "situate among the rivers" (3:8), so in Hosea the lower Egyptian one is distinguished by its Necropolis, in this passage as to the fugitive Israelites: "Mizraim shall gather them up, [[Noph]] shall bury them.;" for its burial-ground, stretching for twenty miles along the edge of the [[Libyan]] desert, greatly exceeds that of any other Egyptian town. See Brugsch, Geogr. Inschr. 1:234 sq. (See [[Memphis]]). </p>
