From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Merom
      height, a lake in Northern Palestine through which the Jordan
      flows. It was the scene of the third and last great victory
      gained by Joshua over the Canaanites (Josh. 11:5-7). It is not
      again mentioned in Scripture. Its modern name is Bakrat
      el-Huleh. "The Ard el-Huleh, the centre of which the lake
      occupies, is a nearly level plain of 16 miles in length from
      north to south, and its breadth from east to west is from 7 to 8
      miles. On the west it is walled in by the steep and lofty range
      of the hills of Kedesh-Naphtali; on the east it is bounded by
      the lower and more gradually ascending slopes of Bashan; on the
      north it is shut in by a line of hills hummocky and irregular in
      shape and of no great height, and stretching across from the
      mountains of Naphtali to the roots of Mount Hermon, which towers
      up at the north-eastern angle of the plain to a height of 10,000
      feet. At its southern extremity the plain is similarly traversed
      by elevated and broken ground, through which, by deep and narrow
      clefts, the Jordan, after passing through Lake Huleh, makes its
      rapid descent to the Sea of Galilee."
     
         The lake is triangular in form, about 4 1/2 miles in length by
      3 1/2 at its greatest breadth. Its surface is 7 feet above that
      of the Mediterranean. It is surrounded by a morass, which is
      thickly covered with canes and papyrus reeds, which are
      impenetrable. Macgregor with his canoe, the Rob Roy, was the
      first that ever, in modern times, sailed on its waters. (See {JORDAN}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Miriam
      their rebellion. (1.) The sister of Moses and Aaron (Ex. 2:4-10;
      1 Chr. 6:3). Her name is prominent in the history of the Exodus.
      She is called "the prophetess" (Ex. 15:20). She took the lead in
      the song of triumph after the passage of the Red Sea. She died
      at Kadesh during the second encampment at that place, toward the
      close of the wanderings in the wilderness, and was buried there
      (Num. 20:1). (See {AARON}; {MOSES}.)
     
         (2.) 1 Chr. 4:17, one of the descendants of Judah.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Mourn
      Frequent references are found in Scripture to, (1.) Mourning for
      the dead. Abraham mourned for Sarah (Gen. 23:2); Jacob for
      Joseph (37:34, 35); the Egyptians for Jacob (50:3-10); Israel
      for Aaron (Num. 20:29), for Moses (Deut. 34:8), and for Samuel
      (1 Sam. 25:1); David for Abner (2 Sam. 3:31, 35); Mary and
      Martha for Lazarus (John 11); devout men for Stephen (Acts 8:2),
      etc.
     
         (2.) For calamities, Job (1:20, 21; 2:8); Israel (Ex. 33:4);
      the Ninevites (Jonah 3:5); Israel, when defeated by Benjamin
      (Judg. 20:26), etc.
     
         (3.) Penitential mourning, by the Israelites on the day of
      atonement (Lev. 23:27; Acts 27:9); under Samuel's ministry (1
      Sam. 7:6); predicted in Zechariah (Zech. 12:10, 11); in many of
      the psalms (51, etc.).
     
         Mourning was expressed, (1) by weeping (Gen. 35:8, marg.; Luke
      7:38, etc.); (2) by loud lamentation (Ruth 1:9; 1 Sam. 6:19; 2
      Sam. 3:31); (3) by the disfigurement of the person, as rending
      the clothes (Gen. 37:29, 34; Matt. 26:65), wearing sackcloth
      (Gen. 37:34; Ps. 35:13), sprinkling dust or ashes on the person
      (2 Sam. 13:19; Jer. 6:26; Job 2:12), shaving the head and
      plucking out the hair of the head or beard (Lev. 10:6; Job
      1:20), neglect of the person or the removal of ornaments (Ex.
      33:4; Deut. 21:12, 13; 2 Sam. 14:2; 19:24; Matt. 6:16, 17),
      fasting (2 Sam. 1:12), covering the upper lip (Lev. 13:45; Micah
      3:7), cutting the flesh (Jer. 16:6, 7), and sitting in silence
      (Judg. 20:26; 2 Sam. 12:16; 13:31; Job 1:20).
     
         In the later times we find a class of mourners who could be
      hired to give by their loud lamentation the external tokens of
      sorrow (2 Chr. 35:25; Jer. 9:17; Matt. 9:23).
     
         The period of mourning for the dead varied. For Jacob it was
      seventy days (Gen. 50:3); for Aaron (Num. 20:29) and Moses
      (Deut. 34:8) thirty days; and for Saul only seven days (1 Sam.
      31:13). In 2 Sam. 3:31-35, we have a description of the great
      mourning for the death of Abner.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Murrain
      Heb. deber, "destruction," a "great mortality", the fifth plague
      that fell upon the Egyptians (Ex. 9:3). It was some distemper
      that resulted in the sudden and widespread death of the cattle.
      It was confined to the cattle of the Egyptians that were in the
      field (9:6).
