One of many systematic variations lengthening the interval between the flood and Abraham from 292 to 1172, or as the Alexandrinus manuscript 1072. [[Epiphanius]] (Haer. 1:6, section 8) says [[Serug]] means "provocation," and that idolatry began in his time, but confined to pictures, and that the religion of mankind up to his time was Scythic, after Serug and the building of the [[Babel]] tower it was Hellenic or Greek. </p> | ||

<p> (Heb. Serug', שְׂרוּג, branch [Gesen.], or strength [Fü rst]; Sept. Σερούχ; New Test. Σαρούχ , ‘" Saruch," Luke 3:35; [[Josephus]] Σεροῦγος, Ant. 1, 6, 5), one of the postdiluvian patriarchs, being the son of Reu, and the father of [[Nahor]] the grandfather of [[Abraham]] (Genesis 11:20; 1 Chronicles 1:6). B.C. 2352-2122. His age is given in the [[Hebrew]] Bible, at the above passages, as 230 years — thirty years before he begat Nahor and two hundred years afterwards. But in the Sept. 130 years are assigned to him before he begat Nahor (making his total age 330), being one of its systematic variations in the ages of the patriarchs between [[Shem]] and Terah. (See [[Chronology]]). Bochart (Phaleg, 2, 114) conjectures that the town of Seruj, a day's journey from Charrse, in Mesopotamia, was named from this patriarch. [[Suidas]] and others ascribe to him the deification of dead benefactors of mankind. [[Epiphanius]] (Adv. Hoeres. 1, 6, 8), who says that his name signifies "provocation," states that, though in his time idolatry took its rise, yet it was confined to pictures; and that the deification of dead men, as well as the making of idols, was subsequent. He characterizes the religion of mankind up to Serug's days as Scythic; after [[Serug]] and the building of the [[Tower]] of Babel, the Hellenic or [[Greek]] form of religion was introduced, and continued to the writer's time (see Petavius, Anim. adv. Epiph. Oper. 2:13). The account given by John of [[Antioch]] is as follows: Serug, of the race of Japhet, taught the duty of honoring eminent deceased men, either by images or statues (εἰκόνες ) and ἀνδρίαντες, which, however, may here be used of pictures), of worshipping them on certain anniversaries as if still living, of preserving a record of their actions in the sacred books of the priests, and of calling them gods as being benefactors of mankind. Hence arose polytheism and idolatry (see Fragm. Historic. Groec. 4, 345, and note). It is in accordance with his being called of the race of Japhet that Epiphanius sends Phaleg and [[Reu]] to [[Thrace]] (Epist. ad Descr. Paul. § 2). There is, of course, little or no historical value in any of these statements, beyond the fact that the charge of idolatry is brought against [[Terah]] and the fathers beyond the [[Euphrates]] in Joshua 24:2. </p> | |||

<p> Se´rug (shoot, tendril), son of Reu, and father of [[Nahor]] the grandfather of [[Abraham]] . He was 130 years old at the birth of Nahor, and died at the age of 330. The name occurs in the genealogy of [[Christ]] . The [[Jewish]] traditions affirm that [[Serug]] was the first of his line who fell into idolatry; and this seems to be sanctioned by, and is probably built upon, the charge of idolatry brought against [[Terah]] and the fathers beyond the [[Euphrates]] in . </p> | |||
