A BIBLE WORD LIST

THIS list gives brief explanations of words in the Authorised Version describing unfamiliar objects, animals and plants, weights, measures and money, and words no longer in everyday use, or now used with a different meaning. If the English word is used in more than one sense, or stands for more than one Hebrew or Greek word, the list refers to passages where the word is used with each meaning. In most cases the list gives all the places where the word is found. An asterisk * means that the word is used in other passages with its normal meaning, or with one of the meanings given. This is not a complete list of unfamiliar or archaic words. We would recommend that the reader use a good English language dictionary to aid in understanding words which this list does not define. The names of the Books of the Bible with their abbreviations are listed with the book names at the end of this booklet.
