From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Baalath       a town of the tribe of Dan (Josh. 19:44). It was fortified by       Solomon (1 Kings 9:18; 2 Chr. 8:6). Some have identified it with       Bel'ain, in Wady Deir Balut.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Bealoth       citizens, a town in the extreme south of Judah (Josh. 15:24);       probably the same as Baalath-beer (19:8). In 1 Kings 4:16, the       Authorized Version has "in Aloth," the Revised Version       "Bealoth."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Blade       applied to the glittering point of a spear (Job 39:23) or sword       (Nah. 3:3), the blade of a dagger (Judg. 3:22); the "shoulder       blade" (Job 31:22); the "blade" of cereals (Matt. 13:26).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Blood       (1.) As food, prohibited in Gen. 9:4, where the use of animal       food is first allowed. Comp. Deut. 12:23; Lev. 3:17; 7:26;       17:10-14. The injunction to abstain from blood is renewed in the       decree of the council of Jerusalem (Acts 15:29). It has been       held by some, and we think correctly, that this law of       prohibition was only ceremonial and temporary; while others       regard it as still binding on all. Blood was eaten by the       Israelites after the battle of Gilboa (1 Sam. 14:32-34).                (2.) The blood of sacrifices was caught by the priest in a       basin, and then sprinkled seven times on the altar; that of the       passover on the doorposts and lintels of the houses (Ex. 12;       Lev. 4:5-7; 16:14-19). At the giving of the law (Ex. 24:8) the       blood of the sacrifices was sprinkled on the people as well as       on the altar, and thus the people were consecrated to God, or       entered into covenant with him, hence the blood of the covenant       (Matt. 26:28; Heb. 9:19, 20; 10:29; 13:20).                (3.) Human blood. The murderer was to be punished (Gen. 9:5).       The blood of the murdered "crieth for vengeance" (Gen. 4:10).       The "avenger of blood" was the nearest relative of the murdered,       and he was required to avenge his death (Num. 35:24, 27). No       satisfaction could be made for the guilt of murder (Num. 35:31).                (4.) Blood used metaphorically to denote race (Acts 17:26),       and as a symbol of slaughter (Isa. 34:3). To "wash the feet in       blood" means to gain a great victory (Ps. 58:10). Wine, from its       red colour, is called "the blood of the grape" (Gen. 49:11).       Blood and water issued from our Saviour's side when it was       pierced by the Roman soldier (John 19:34). This has led       pathologists to the conclusion that the proper cause of Christ's       death was rupture of the heart. (Comp. Ps. 69:20.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Blot       a stain or reproach (Job 31:7; Prov. 9:7). To blot out sin is to       forgive it (Ps. 51:1, 9; Isa. 44:22; Acts 3:19). Christ's       blotting out the handwriting of ordinances was his fulfilling       the law in our behalf (Col. 2:14).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Bolled       (Ex. 9:31), meaning "swollen or podded for seed," was adopted in       the Authorized Version from the version of Coverdale (1535). The       Revised Version has in the margin "was in bloom," which is the       more probable rendering of the Hebrew word. It is the fact that       in Egypt when barley is in ear (about February) flax is       blossoming.
