bboard /bee'bord/ n.   [contraction of `bulletin board'] 1. Any    electronic bulletin board; esp. used of {BBS} systems running on    personal micros, less frequently of a Usenet {newsgroup} (in fact,    use of this term for a newsgroup generally marks one either as a    {newbie} fresh in from the BBS world or as a real old-timer    predating Usenet).   2. At CMU and other colleges with similar    facilities, refers to campus-wide electronic bulletin boards.   3.    The term `physical bboard' is sometimes used to refer to an    old-fashioned, non-electronic cork-and-thumbtack memo board.   At    CMU, it refers to a particular one outside the CS Lounge.          In either of senses 1 or 2, the term is usually prefixed by the    name of the intended board (`the Moonlight Casino bboard' or `market    bboard'); however, if the context is clear, the better-read bboards    may be referred to by name alone, as in (at CMU) "Don't post    for-sale ads on general".

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Beard       The mode of wearing it was definitely prescribed to the Jews       (Lev. 19:27; 21:5). Hence the import of Ezekiel's (5:1-4)       description of the "razor" i.e., the agents of an angry       providence being used against the guilty nation of the Jews. It       was a part of a Jew's daily toilet to anoint his beard with oil       and perfume (Ps. 133:2). Beards were trimmed with the most       fastidious care (2 Sam. 19:24), and their neglet was an       indication of deep sorrow (Isa. 15:2; Jer. 41:5). The custom was       to shave or pluck off the hair as a sign of mourning (Isa. 50:6;       Jer. 48:37; Ezra 9:3). The beards of David's ambassadors were       cut off by hanun (2 Sam. 10:4) as a mark of indignity.                On the other hand, the Egyptians carefully shaved the hair off       their faces, and they compelled their slaves to do so also (Gen.       41:14).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Beeroth       wells, one of the four cities of the Hivites which entered by       fraud into a league with Joshua. It belonged to Benjamin (Josh.       18:25). It has by some been identified with el-Bireh on the way       to Nablus, 10 miles north of Jerusalem.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Bered       hail. (1.) A town in the south of Palestine (Gen. 16:14), in the       desert of Shur, near Lahai-roi.                (2.) A son of Shuthelah, and grandson of Ephraim (1 Chr.       7:20).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Bird       Birds are divided in the Mosaic law into two classes, (1) the       clean (Lev. 1:14-17; 5:7-10; 14:4-7), which were offered in       sacrifice; and (2) the unclean (Lev. 11:13-20). When offered in       sacrifice, they were not divided as other victims were (Gen.       15:10). They are mentioned also as an article of food (Deut.       14:11). The art of snaring wild birds is referred to (Ps. 124:7;       Prov. 1:17; 7:23; Jer. 5:27). Singing birds are mentioned in Ps.       104:12; Eccl. 12:4. Their timidity is alluded to (Hos. 11:11).       The reference in Ps. 84:3 to the swallow and the sparrow may be       only a comparison equivalent to, "What her house is to the       sparrow, and her nest to the swallow, that thine altars are to       my soul."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Birth       As soon as a child was born it was washed, and rubbed with salt       (Ezek. 16:4), and then swathed with bandages (Job 38:9; Luke       2:7, 12). A Hebrew mother remained forty days in seclusion after       the birth of a son, and after the birth of a daughter double       that number of days. At the close of that period she entered       into the tabernacle or temple and offered up a sacrifice of       purification (Lev. 12:1-8; Luke 2:22). A son was circumcised on       the eighth day after his birth, being thereby consecrated to God       (Gen. 17:10-12; comp. Rom. 4:11). Seasons of misfortune are       likened to the pains of a woman in travail, and seasons of       prosperity to the joy that succeeds child-birth (Isa. 13:8; Jer.       4:31; John 16:21, 22). The natural birth is referred to as the       emblem of the new birth (John 3:3-8; Gal. 6:15; Titus 3:5,       etc.).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Bread       among the Jews was generally made of wheat (Ex. 29:2; Judg.       6:19), though also sometimes of other grains (Gen. 14:18; Judg.       7:13). Parched grain was sometimes used for food without any       other preparation (Ruth 2:14).                Bread was prepared by kneading in wooden bowls or "kneading       troughs" (Gen. 18:6; Ex. 12:34; Jer. 7:18). The dough was mixed       with leaven and made into thin cakes, round or oval, and then       baked. The bread eaten at the Passover was always unleavened       (Ex. 12:15-20; Deut. 16:3). In the towns there were public       ovens, which were much made use of for baking bread; there were       also bakers by trade (Hos. 7:4; Jer. 37:21). Their ovens were       not unlike those of modern times. But sometimes the bread was       baked by being placed on the ground that had been heated by a       fire, and by covering it with the embers (1 Kings 19:6). This       was probably the mode in which Sarah prepared bread on the       occasion referred to in Gen. 18:6.                In Lev. 2 there is an account of the different kinds of bread       and cakes used by the Jews. (See {BAKE}.)                The shew-bread (q.v.) consisted of twelve loaves of unleavened       bread prepared and presented hot on the golden table every       Sabbath. They were square or oblong, and represented the twelve       tribes of Israel. The old loaves were removed every Sabbath, and       were to be eaten only by the priests in the court of the       sanctuary (Ex. 25:30; Lev. 24:8; 1 Sam. 21:1-6; Matt. 12:4).                The word bread is used figuratively in such expressions as       "bread of sorrows" (Ps. 127:2), "bread of tears" (80:5), i.e.,       sorrow and tears are like one's daily bread, they form so great       a part in life. The bread of "wickedness" (Prov. 4:17) and "of       deceit" (20:17) denote in like manner that wickedness and deceit       are a part of the daily life.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Bride       frequently used in the ordinary sense (Isa. 49:18; 61:10, etc.).       The relation between Christ and his church is set forth under       the figure of that between a bridegroom and bride (John 3:29).       The church is called "the bride" (Rev. 21:9; 22:17). Compare       parable of the Ten Virgins (Matt. 25:1-13).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Bruit       a rumour or report (Jer. 10:22, R.V. "rumour;" Nah. 3:19).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
By-word       Hebrew _millah_ (Job 30:9), a word or speech, and hence object       of talk; Hebrew _mashal_ (Ps. 44:14), a proverb or parable. When       it denotes a sharp word of derision, as in Deut. 28:37, 1 Kings       9:7, 2 Chr. 7:20, the Hebrew _sheninah_ is used. In Jer. 24:9 it       is rendered "taunt."
