epronoun, putting his (Gr. the) hands upon him, Acts ix. 17. The difference between Greek and English rules will be seen fromthe examples. (c). Familiarity arises from something neither mentionednor suggested, of which there are several kinds. 1. Abstract nouns generally take the article, and always when theyare personified. 1 Cor. xv. 26, death (o John vii. 22, 23, circumci-sion. 1 Cor. xi. 14, nature, Matt. xi. 19: Phil. iii. 3. Numbers in theabstract (tow, unity, the state of being one), and the infinitive used asa noun, belong to this class, to mo-nuu* = believing. This usage is notfrequent in English. 2. Nouns representing objects in nature which exist singly, and en-tire natural substances, generally take the article. Matt. v. 18, heavenand earth: xxiv. 29, the sun. Mark xiii. 28, summer (= the hot sea-son) ; light; salt; water. Generally, we omit the article in these cases,whenever, at least the use of it would indicate some particular thing,rather than the universal substance.

Whole classes of agents generally take it. Matt. x. 10, thelaborer. Matt.xviii. 17, the publican. Matt. xxv. 32, the shepherd. 5. Many words in all languages express ideas familiar to classes ofreaders, and properly take the article ; and generally it is best to re-tain it, even in a translation, though the translation be not quite clear.Matt. xvii. 24, <r<i Si^a^ua, the half-shekel temple-tax: xxi. 12, thedoves used, \iz., in the temple service.
