   Gold \Gold\ (g[omac]ld), n. [AS. gold; akin to D. goud, OS. & G.
      gold, Icel. gull, Sw. & Dan. guld, Goth. gul[thorn], Russ. &
      OSlav. zlato; prob. akin to E. yellow. [root]49, 234. See
      {Yellow}, and cf. {Gild}, v. t.]
      1. (Chem.) A metallic element, constituting the most precious
            metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. It
            has a characteristic yellow color, is one of the heaviest
            substances known (specific gravity 19.32), is soft, and
            very malleable and ductile. It is quite unalterable by
            heat, moisture, and most corrosive agents, and therefore
            well suited for its use in coin and jewelry. Symbol Au
            (Aurum). Atomic weight 196.7.
  
      Note: Native gold contains usually eight to ten per cent of
               silver, but often much more. As the amount of silver
               increases, the color becomes whiter and the specific
               gravity lower. Gold is very widely disseminated, as in
               the sands of many rivers, but in very small quantity.
               It usually occurs in quartz veins (gold quartz), in
               slate and metamorphic rocks, or in sand and alluvial
               soil, resulting from the disintegration of such rocks.
               It also occurs associated with other metallic
               substances, as in auriferous pyrites, and is combined
               with tellurium in the minerals petzite, calaverite,
               sylvanite, etc. Pure gold is too soft for ordinary use,
               and is hardened by alloying with silver and copper, the
               latter giving a characteristic reddish tinge. [See
               {Carat}.] Gold also finds use in gold foil, in the
               pigment purple of Cassius, and in the chloride, which
               is used as a toning agent in photography.
  
      2. Money; riches; wealth.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Commandments, the Ten
      (Ex. 34:28; Deut. 10:4, marg. "ten words") i.e., the Decalogue
      (q.v.), is a summary of the immutable moral law. These
      commandments were first given in their written form to the
      people of Israel when they were encamped at Sinai, about fifty
      days after they came out of Egypt (Ex. 19:10-25). They were
      written by the finger of God on two tables of stone. The first
      tables were broken by Moses when he brought them down from the
      mount (32:19), being thrown by him on the ground. At the command
      of God he took up into the mount two other tables, and God wrote
      on them "the words that were on the first tables" (34:1). These
      tables were afterwards placed in the ark of the covenant (Deut.
      10:5; 1 Kings 8:9). Their subsequent history is unknown. They
      are as a whole called "the covenant" (Deut. 4:13), and "the
      tables of the covenant" (9:9, 11; Heb. 9:4), and "the
      testimony."
     
         They are obviously "ten" in number, but their division is not
      fixed, hence different methods of numbering them have been
      adopted. The Jews make the "Preface" one of the commandments,
      and then combine the first and second. The Roman Catholics and
      Lutherans combine the first and second and divide the tenth into
      two. The Jews and Josephus divide them equally. The Lutherans
      and Roman Catholics refer three commandments to the first table
      and seven to the second. The Greek and Reformed Churches refer
      four to the first and six to the second table. The Samaritans
      add to the second that Gerizim is the mount of worship. (See {LAW}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sea, The molten
      the great laver made by Solomon for the use of the priests in
      the temple, described in 1 Kings 7:23-26; 2 Chr. 4:2-5. It stood
      in the south-eastern corner of the inner court. It was 5 cubits
      high, 10 in diameter from brim to brim, and 30 in circumference.
      It was placed on the backs of twelve oxen, standing with their
      faces outward. It was capable of containing two or three
      thousand baths of water (comp. 2 Chr. 4:5), which was originally
      supplied by the Gibeonites, but was afterwards brought by a
      conduit from the pools of Bethlehem. It was made of "brass"
      (copper), which Solomon had taken from the captured cities of
      Hadarezer, the king of Zobah (1 Chr. 18:8). Ahaz afterwards
      removed this laver from the oxen, and placed it on a stone
      pavement (2 Kings 16:17). It was destroyed by the Chaldeans
      (25:13).
