BROWN
The
body
to
which
this
love
belongs
is
called
'the
brotherhood'
in
1
P
2"
(also
5'),
where
'love
to
the
brotherhood'
is
associated
with
respect
for
humanity
and
fear
of
God
as
a
fundamental
Christian
instinct
(cf.
1
Th
4',
Col
3",
1
Co
13,
etc.).
St.
Paul
describes
this
affection
as
the
mutual
'care'
of
'members'
of
'one
body'
(1
Co
12"-2i):
it
forbids
envy,
unklndness,
schism
;
it
animates,
and
virtually
includes,
all
services
and
duties
of
Christians
towards
each
other
(1
Co
13,
Gal
5'3-is);
it
is
the
first
'fruit
of
the
Spirit'
(Gal
S^,
cf.
4»-
'
5»),
the
fruit
of
God's
love
to
us
and
the
test
of
our
love
to
God
(1
Jn
4'i-2i),
'the
fulfilment
of
the
law'
(Ro
138-1"),
and
the
crown
of
Christian
purity
(1
P
122)
;
the
Cross
supplies
its
model
and
its
inspira-tion
(Eph
431-52,
1
Jn
3«).
When
St.
Paul
speaks
of
'love,'
he
means
'brother-love'
in
the
first
place,
but
not
exclusively
(Gal
6>»,
1
Th
5",
Eo
1218-21;
cf.
Mt
5«-«e
etc.).
Amongst
the
manifestations
of
Philadel-phia,
hospitality
{philox&nia)
is
conspicuous
(He
IS^-
2,
1
P
4'-",
3
Jn
'-')
;
also
'
communication'
or
'
ministering
to
the
necessities
of
the
saints'
(Ro
12'2-
"
152*,
He
6'»
13",
1
Jn
3"-
'»).
The
prominence,
and
strangeness
to
the
world,
of
this
feature
of
primitive
Christianity
are
strikingly
attested
by
the
Epistle
to
Diogneius,
§
1,
Tertullian's
Apol.
§
39,
and

BURDEN.
—
The
word
so
rendered
in
the
OT
is
derived
from
a
root
which
means
to
'lift'
or
'carry.'
It
has
the
two
senses
of
an
actual
burden
and
a
prophetic
utterance.
Instances
of
the
former
are
2
K
5",
Neh
13",
Nu
4".
Related
usages
are
frequent;
in
Is
222*
the
word
suggests
the
pressure
of
something
hanging
on
a
peg,
in
Nu
11"
the
responsibility
and
in
Hos
8'"
the
privilege
of
government,
in
Ps
38*
the
responsibility
for
sin.
The
second
sense
is
that
of
a
solemn
utterance,
and
the
marginal
alternative
'oracle'
(Is
142'
et
al.)
is
to
be
preferred.
It
was
customary
to
explain
this
use
of
the
word
as
due
to
the
threatening
character
of
the
utterance;
but
many
of
the
utterances
are
not
threatening
(cf.
Zee
12.
9'-
'-";
in
Pr
30'
and
31'
RV
puts
'oracle'
in
the
text
and
'burden'
in
the
margin),
and
the
word-play
in
Jer
23s*-
involves
a
reproof
of
the
men
who
were
disposed
to
regard
the
oracle
of
God
as
literally
a
burden.
Most
utterances
of
the
prophets,
moreover,
were
of
necessity
from
their
oc-casion
minatory.
'
Burden'
in
this
second
usage
denotes
simply
something
taken
up
solemnly
upon
the
lips,
both
weighty
in
itself
and
weighty
in
its
communication.
It
is
not
used
of
merely
human
utterances,
but
always
carries
with
it
the
suggestion
of
Divine
inspiration,
actual
or
falsely
assumed
(La
2").
In
the
NT,
Ac
21'
is
an
instance
of
the
literal
use.
The
figures
are
easy.
The
word
is
used
for
the
ordi-nances
of
the
Law
as
interpreted
by
the
Pharisees
(Mt
23',
Lk
11"),
for
the
prohibitions
of
the
Apostolic
decree
(Ac
152»;
cf.
Rev
221),
for
the
pressure
and
load
of
hfe
(Mt
20'2),
for
an
exacting
or
even
legitimate
charge
upon
others
(2
Co
11'
12'2'),
for
the
imagined
difficulties
of
following
Christ
(Mt
ll").
Two
other
kinds
of
burdens
with
their
right
treatment
are
contrasted.
Other
men's
errors
and
sorrows
must
be
shared
in
sympathy
(Gal
62);
though
in
the
service
of
Christ
there
can
be
no
transfer
of
obligations,
but
each
man
must
carry
his
own
kit
and
do
his
own
duty
(Gal
6').

BUSH
(smeh.
Ex

Dt

The
'burning
bush'
has
traditionally
been
supposed
to
be
a
kind
of
bramble
(Rubus),
of
which
Palestine
has
several
varieties,
but
one
of
the
thorny
shrubs
of
Sinai
of
the
acacia
family
would
seem
more
probable.
Sacred
bushes
and

are
common
in
Palestine
and

himself

Jewish
writers
were
led
to
identify
him

Jeremiah,
partly
by
a
supposed
connexion
of
the
name
with
a
verb

'despise,'

partly
by
a
theory
that
when
the

a

it
is
to
be
understood
that
he
also
was
a
prophet.
