... portion Many parishes were not compact entities, but had detached portions that were surrounded by the lands of neighbouring parishes. Such arrangements reflect ancient tenurial history, often from before the Norman Conquest . In some cases, adjacent strips in open fields belonged to different parishes. They are shown on first‐edition six‐inch Ordnance Survey maps. Detached portions could also result from the division of a ‘mother’ parish, or minster territory, into ‘daughter’ parishes and chapels‐of‐ease . The parish system has been...

...and time in serving as a practical model to be emulated by every generation of Muslims anywhere on earth. The Prophet may be an Arab, but as a universal model for all believers coming from numerous ethnic branches, his Sunnah is one from which the elements of Arabness have been detached though the boundaries are not always clear to many people. Apart from these two guarantees, the expansion of Islam beyond the Arabian Peninsula was swift like lightning as if in a hurry to dispel any illusion that it is purely an Arab religion. A new major ethnicity entering the...

...Plans are crucially important. They should show the boundaries of the income tax parish in yellow, and the boundaries of each hereditament by a coloured edging or sometimes by an overall colour‐wash. The number of each hereditament was entered onto the plan in red, with detached portions braced together. This number corresponds to the hereditament number in the Valuation Book, and is a key to finding the hereditament in the Field Books, through The National Archive's finding aids. The information to be found in the valuation documents presents numerous...

The almost supernatural evil of Holofernes, a general who marched his army from Nineveh to Cilicia, a 300-mile journey, in three days, permits him to become the model of any villain. Moreover, detached from history, the volume serves various allegorical purposes; Martin Luther, for example, regarded the book of Judith as an allegory of Jesus' Passion. C. Language and Culture. 1.

The covenanters deservedly belong to the ‘portion’ ( meris ) of Hades, death, or the devil ( v. 16; 2:24 RV; NRSV ‘company’), implicitly opposed here to ‘the Lord's portion’ ( Deut 32:9, 2 Macc 1:26 ), (righteous) Israel, wisdom's home ( Sir 24:12 ); an explicit contrast is drawn in Qumran rule literature between those who belong to ‘the lot of Belial’ and ‘the lot of God’ (1QS ii 2–5). For the movement of thought from the infernal covenant to the two portions compare 2 Cor 6:15 , where Christ has no concord with Belial, and a...

...overcome the tendency of such groups to split or subdivide as the result of local hostilities, competition for land and resources, and leadership struggles. Kinship ties within local communities remain integral to the activities of daily life; but as authority and status become detached from family or clan relationships and come to reside in national structures transcending local or traditional ones, kinship ceases to be the only determining factor in organizing community life. Kinship yields some functions to the power of kingship while maintaining others...

... 1970 : 146–8 ). The general picture is reminiscent of the Epistle of Enoch ( 1 Enoch, 94–105), which may have been written about the same time. The Epistle pronounces woes against the rich and tells them that they will not have peace ( 94:6–8 ). Sirach's tone, however, is detached. He observes the antagonism of the classes as if it were an unalterable fact of nature. The wise man will avoid the excesses of this situation, but he will not attempt to overthrow it. v. 14 has the character of a pious gloss, and belongs to the secondary Greek recension. (...

...thought to have been written, and we shall not spend long on it. Once Hupfeld had made the separation between E and P it was really inevitable, as it was the supposed antiquity of the P texts which had led to the idea that the Book of Origins was the earliest source. When E was detached from this, it could easily be seen that in certain respects it had a more sophisticated approach to religion than the rather primitive J, and so it was natural to date it a little later. 7. The second change in order was much more decisive, in fact it was quite revolutionary....

Jehonadab is presumably the leader of a nomadic YHWH-worshipping religious order which had strictly detached itself from the culture and religion of the country ( cf. Jer 35; Levin 1994 is most probably wrong in stating that Jehonadab is merely a chariot officer). In their common ‘zeal for the Lord ’, they ride to Samaria.

...keel . 1 A portion of the keel in early submarines which could be detached in emergency to give additional buoyancy. By releasing this portion of the keel, usually weighing up to about 20 tons, a submerged submarine had a chance of returning to the surface if it could not regain positive buoyancy by any other means. It was released by a mechanism within the pressure hull. As the submarine developed into more reliable forms, the drop keel was omitted from the design. 2 A term often used to describe a centreboard or dagger ...
