Pattern (Hastings' Dictionary)

Various words are so rendered. 1. mye tabhnith [from banah, to build], the shape of a thing, elsewhere tr. ‘example’ or _ cusample,’ ‘figure,’ ‘form,’ etc., is tr. ‘ pattern’ in Ex. 25° > “ὁ. Jos 22%, 2 K 16”, 1 Ch 284-12 1819 in reference to the model or idea (lit. ‘construction ’) of the taber- nacle, etc. 2. np tokAnith (fr. takhan, to regulate, adjust, used in Job 28%, Is 40!

18 of God’s work ‘in ας τ creation by weight or measure’] occurs only in Ezk 28" (of the symmetry or perfection of the prince of Tyre [see Davidson, in loc.], AV ard RV ‘sum,’ RVm ‘Or measure, or pattern’), aud 43” (of the idea of the temple before ee eg ΑΥ͂ and RV ‘pattern,’ AVm ‘ Or sum or number,’ RVm ‘Or sum’). 8. 7x72 mar’eh [fr. r@ah, to see], a sight, the appearance of something, is tr. ‘ pattern’ in Nu 8* ‘According unto the pattern which the Lord had showed Moses.’ 4. ὁμοίωμα [fr.

ὅμοιος, ὁμός, similis, same), something made like some other thing, a or , is in Sir 38% tr. ‘pattern,’ ‘His eyes Took sti upon the pattern of the thing that he maketh,’ Gr. κατέναντι ὁμοιώματος σκεύους. 5. τύπος, which is both the model and ts (see Fiaure, 8 3), is tr. ‘pattern’ in Tit 27( *en- sample’), He 8° (quot. from Ex 25”). The meaning is clearly image, an idea before one in the forma- tion of character (Tit 2’) or of the tabernacle (He 8°), not copy. Cf. Hall, Works, ii.

148, ‘There must be much caution used in our imitation of the best patternes, (whether in respect of the persons or things ;) else we shall make our selves apes, and our acts sinful absurdities.’ 6, ὑποτύπωσις in 1 Ti 18, AV ‘pattern,’ RV ‘ensample,’ but in 2 Ti 1} (its only other occurrence) AV ‘form,’ RV ‘ pattern.’ It is an outline or sketch under one’s eye. 7.

ὑπό- δειγμα, like τύπος, is used for both the model and the copy, and in the only place where it is ren- dered ‘ pattern,’ He 9 (as well as in 8°, where it is tr. ‘example,’ RV ‘copy’), the meaning is clearly copy or representation: He 9* ‘It was therefore necessary that the patterns (RV ‘ copies’) of things in the heavens should be purified with these but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.’ But in 1611 this tr.

was uite legitimate, as ‘pattern’ then was used for th the exemplar and its copy. Trench (On AV of NT, p. 1181) denies this; but there are unmis- takable examples in Shaks. as well as elsewhere. Thus J Henry VI. Vv. v. 65— ‘For what is wedlock forced but a hell, An age of discord and continual strife? Whereas the contrary ee bliss, And is a pattern of celestial peace.’ So Othello, v. ii. 11— ‘Thou cunning’st pattern of excelling nature.’ See also Henry V. τι. iv.

61, Lucrece 1350, Lover's Complaint, 170; and cf. Book of Homilies (1573), “where most rebellions and rebels be, there is the express similitude of hell ; and the rebels themselves are the very figures of fiends and devils, and their captain the ungracious pattern of Lucifer and Satan, the prince of darkness.’ J. 68.
