HIRED HOUSE
(
&
, 3410), akin to A and B, above, primarily denotes “a hire,” as in
the Sept. of Deut. 23:18; Prov. 19:13; Ezek. 16:31, 34, 41, etc.; in the NT, it is used of “a
hired dwelling,” Acts 28:30.¶
HIRED SERVANT, HIRELING
1.
(
, 3411), an adjective denoting “hired,” is used as a noun,
signifying “one who is hired,” “hired servants,” Mark 1:20; “hireling,” John 10:12, 13;
here, it expresses, not only one who has no real interest in his duty (that may or may not
be present in its use in Mark 1:20, and in
, No. 2), but one who is unfaithful in
the discharge of it; that sense attaches always to the word rendered “hireling.”¶
2.
(
&
, 3407), an adjective, akin to No. 1, and similarly signifying “a
hired servant,” is used in Luke 15:17, 19 (in some texts, v. 21).¶
HIS, HIS OWN
Note:
These translate (a) forms of pronouns under
HE
, No. 1 (a frequent use: in 1 Pet.
2:24, “His own self”); the form
$ $
, “his,” becomes emphatic when placed between the
article and the noun, e.g., 1 Thess. 2:19; Titus 3:5; Heb. 2:4; also under HE, No. 3 (in
which “his” is emphasized), e.g., John 5:47; 9:28; 1 Cor. 10:28; 2 Cor. 8:9; 2 Tim. 2:26;
Titus 3:7; 2 Pet. 1:16; (b)
$ $
, “of himself, his own”; the
RV
rightly puts “his own,”
for the
KJV
, “his,” in Luke 11:21; 14:26; Rom. 4:19; 5:8, “His own (love)”; 1 Cor. 7:37;
Gal. 6:8; Eph. 5:28, 33; 1 Thess. 2:11, 12; 4:4; in Rev. 10:7 the change has not been
made; it should read “his own servants”; (c)
, “one’s own,” “his own,” in the
RV
, in
Matt. 22:5; John 5:18; 2 Pet. 2:16; in Matt. 25:15, it is rendered “his several”; in John
19:27, “his own home,” lit., “his own things”; in 1 Tim. 6:15,
RV
, “its own (times),”
referring to the future appearing of Christ; in Heb. 4:10 (end of verse), both
KJV
and
RV
have “his,” where it should be “his own”; so in Acts 24:23, for
KJV
and
RV
, “his”; in 1
Cor. 7:7,
RV
, “his own,”
KJV
, “his proper”; (d) in Acts 17:28, the genitive case of the
definite article, “His (offspring),” lit., “of the” (i.e., the one referred to, namely, God).
HITHER
1.
(
.
, 5602), primarily an adverb of manner then, of place, (a) of “motion” or
“direction towards a place,” e.g., Matt. 8:29; Mark 11:3; Luke 9:41; John 6:25; (b) of
“position”; see
HERE
,
PLACE
2.
(
#
1
, 1759) has the same meaning as No. 1; “hither,” John 4:15, 16;
Acts 17:6; 25:17. See
HERE
.
Note:
For
$
, “come hither,” see
COME
, and
HITHERTO

Note
(2).
HITHERTO
Notes:
(1) The phrase
, “until now,” is rendered “hitherto” in John 16:24,
KJV
, and
RV
; in 5:17,
RV
, “even until now,” which more definitely expresses the meaning
than the
KJV
, “hitherto”; the rest of the Father and the Son having been broken by man’s
sin, they were engaged in the accomplishment of their counsels of grace with a view to
redemption. (2) The phrase
$
$
, lit., “until the hither,” or “the present,” is
