From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Reproduction \Re`pro*duc"tion\ (-d?k"sh?n), n. [Cf. F.
      reproduction.]
      1. The act or process of reproducing; the state of being
            reproduced; specifically (Biol.), the process by which
            plants and animals give rise to offspring.
  
      Note: There are two distinct methods of reproduction; viz.:
               {asexual reproduction} (agamogenesis) and {sexual
               reproduction} (gamogenesis). In both cases the new
               individual is developed from detached portions of the
               parent organism. In asexual reproduction (gemmation,
               fission, etc.), the detached portions of the organism
               develop into new individuals without the intervention
               of other living matter. In sexual reproduction, the
               detached portion, which is always a single cell, called
               the female germ cell, is acted upon by another portion
               of living matter, the male germ cell, usually from
               another organism, and in the fusion of the two
               (impregnation) a new cell is formed, from the
               development of which arises a new individual.
  
      2. That which is reproduced.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Ashkelon
      =Askelon=Ascalon, was one of the five cities of the Philistines
      (Josh. 13:3; 1 Sam. 6:17). It stood on the shore of the
      Mediterranean, 12 miles north of Gaza. It is mentioned on an
      inscription at Karnak in Egypt as having been taken by king
      Rameses II., the oppressor of the Hebrews. In the time of the
      judges (Judg. 1:18) it fell into the possession of the tribe of
      Judah; but it was soon after retaken by the Philistines (2 Sam.
      1:20), who were not finally dispossessed till the time of
      Alexander the Great. Samson went down to this place from
      Timnath, and slew thirty men and took their spoil. The prophets
      foretold its destruction (Jer. 25:20; 47:5, 7). It became a
      noted place in the Middle Ages, having been the scene of many a
      bloody battle between the Saracens and the Crusaders. It was
      beseiged and taken by Richard the Lion-hearted, and "within its
      walls and towers now standing he held his court." Among the Tell
      Amarna tablets (see {EGYPT}) are found letters or
      official despatches from Yadaya, "captain of horse and dust of
      the king's feet," to the "great king" of Egypt, dated from
      Ascalon. It is now called 'Askalan.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Azazel
      (Lev. 16:8, 10, 26, Revised Version only here; rendered
      "scape-goat" in the Authorized Version). This word has given
      rise to many different views. Some Jewish interpreters regard it
      as the name of a place some 12 miles east of Jerusalem, in the
      wilderness. Others take it to be the name of an evil spirit, or
      even of Satan. But when we remember that the two goats together
      form a type of Christ, on whom the Lord "laid the iniquity of us
      all," and examine into the root meaning of this word (viz.,
      "separation"), the interpretation of those who regard the one
      goat as representing the atonement made, and the other, that
      "for Azazel," as representing the effect of the great work of
      atonement (viz., the complete removal of sin), is certainly to
      be preferred. The one goat which was "for Jehovah" was offered
      as a sin-offering, by which atonement was made. But the sins
      must also be visibly banished, and therefore they were
      symbolically laid by confession on the other goat, which was
      then "sent away for Azazel" into the wilderness. The form of
      this word indicates intensity, and therefore signifies the total
      separation of sin: it was wholly carried away. It was important
      that the result of the sacrifices offered by the high priest
      alone in the sanctuary should be embodied in a visible
      transaction, and hence the dismissal of the "scape-goat." It was
      of no consequence what became of it, as the whole import of the
      transaction lay in its being sent into the wilderness bearing
      away sin. As the goat "for Jehovah" was to witness to the
      demerit of sin and the need of the blood of atonement, so the
      goat "for Azazel" was to witness to the efficacy of the
      sacrifice and the result of the shedding of blood in the taking
      away of sin.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Azazel, the scape-goat
