Note: In the ancient phrases, all too dear, all too much, all so long, etc., this word retains its appropriate sense or becomes intensive. 2. Even; just. (Often a mere intensive adjunct.) [Obs. or Poet.] All as his straying flock he fed. --Spenser. A damsel lay deploring All on a rock reclined. --Gay. {All to}, [or] {All-to}. In such phrases as [bd]all to rent,[b8] [bd]all to break,[b8] [bd]all-to frozen,[b8] etc., which are of frequent occurrence in our old authors, the all and the to have commonly been regarded as forming a compound adverb, equivalent in meaning to entirely, completely, altogether. But the sense of entireness lies wholly in the word all (as it does in [bd]all forlorn,[b8] and similar expressions), and the to properly belongs to the following word, being a kind of intensive prefix (orig. meaning asunder and answering to the LG. ter-, HG. zer-). It is frequently to be met with in old books, used without the all. Thus Wyclif says, [bd]The vail of the temple was to rent:[b8] and of Judas, [bd]He was hanged and to-burst the middle:[b8] i. e., burst in two, or asunder. {All along}.

[Colloq.] {All the better}, wholly the better; that is, better by the whole difference. {All the same}, nevertheless. [bd]There they [certain phenomena] remain rooted all the same, whether we recognize them or not.[b8] --J. C. Shairp. [bd]But Rugby is a very nice place all the same.[b8] --T.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Alien a foreigner, or person born in another country, and therefore not entitled to the rights and privileges of the country where he resides. Among the Hebrews there were two classes of aliens. (1.) Those who were strangers generally, and who owned no landed property. (2.) Strangers dwelling in another country without being naturalized (Lev. 22:10; Ps. 39:12). Both of these classes were to enjoy, under certain conditions, the same rights as other citizens (Lev. 19:33, 34; Deut. 10:19). They might be naturalized and permitted to enter into the congregation of the Lord by submitting to circumcision and abandoning idolatry (Deut. 23:3-8). This term is used (Eph. 2:12) to denote persons who have no interest in Christ.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Allon oak. (1.) The expression in the Authorized Version of Josh. 19:33, "from Allon to Zaanannim," is more correctly rendered in the Revised Version, "from the oak in Zaanannim." The word denotes some remarkable tree which stood near Zaanannim, and which served as a landmark. (2.) The son of Jedaiah, of the family of the Simeonites, who expelled the Hamites from the valley of Gedor (1 Chr. 4:37).
