From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   built-in
  
      (Or "primitive") A built-in function or operator is one
      provided by the lowest level of a language implementation.
      This usually means it is not possible (or efficient) to
      express it in the language itself.   Typical examples are the
      basic arithmetic and {Boolean} operators (in {C} syntax: +, -,
      *, /, %, !, &&, ||), bit manipulation operators (~, &, |, ^)
      and I/O primitives.   Other common functions may be provided in
      libraries but are not built-in if they are written in the
      language being implemented.

      (BBS, bboard /bee'bord/; after a
      physical piece of board on which people can pin messages
      written on paper for general consumption - a "physical
      bboard").   A computer and associated software which typically
      provides an electronic message database where people can log
      in and leave messages.   Messages are typically split into
      {topic groups} similar to the {newsgroups} on {Usenet} (which
      is like a distributed BBS).   Any user may submit or read any
      message in these public areas.
  
      Apart from public message areas, a BBS may provide archives of
      files, personal {electronic mail} and any other services or
      activities of interest to the bulletin board's system operator
      (the "{sysop}").   Thousands of local BBSes are in operation
      throughout the world, typically run by amateurs for fun out of
      their homes on {MS-DOS} boxes with a single {modem} line each.
      Although BBSes have traditionally been the domain of
      hobbyists, an increasing number of BBSes are connected
      directly to the {Internet}, and many BBSes are currently
      operated by government, educational, and research
      institutions.   Fans of {Usenet} and {Internet} or the big
      commercial {time-sharing} bboards such as {CompuServe}, {CIX}
      and {GEnie} tend to consider local BBSes the low-rent district
      of the hacker culture, but they serve a valuable function by
      knitting together lots of hackers and users in the
      personal-{micro} world who would otherwise be unable to
      exchange code at all.
  
      Use of this term for a {Usenet} newsgroup generally marks one
      either as a {newbie} fresh in from the BBS world or as a real
      old-timer predating {Usenet}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Baal-tamar
      lord of palm trees, a place in the tribe of Benjamin near Gibeah
      of Saul (Judg. 20:33). It was one of the sanctuaries or groves
      of Baal. Probably the palm tree of Deborah (Judg. 4:5) is
      alluded to in the name.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Baladan
      he has given a son, the father of the Babylonian king (2 Kings
      20:12; Isa. 39:1) Merodach-baladan (q.v.).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Baldness
      from natural causes was uncommon (2 Kings 2:23; Isa. 3:24). It
      was included apparently under "scab" and "scurf," which
      disqualified for the priesthood (Lev. 21:20). The Egyptians were
      rarely subject to it. This probably arose from their custom of
      constantly shaving the head, only allowing the hair to grow as a
      sign of mourning. With the Jews artificial baldness was a sign
      of mourning (Isa. 22:12; Jer. 7:29; 16:6); it also marked the
      conclusion of a Nazarite's vow (Acts 18:18; 21:24; Num. 6:9). It
      is often alluded to (Micah 1:16; Amos 8:10; Jer. 47:5). The Jews
      were forbidden to follow the customs of surrounding nations in
      making themselves bald (Deut. 14:1).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Building
      among the Jews was suited to the climate and conditions of the
      country. They probably adopted the kind of architecture for
      their dwellings which they found already existing when they
      entered Canaan (Deut. 6:10; Num. 13:19). Phoenician artists (2
      Sam. 5:11; 1 Kings 5:6, 18) assisted at the erection of the
      royal palace and the temple at Jerusalem. Foreigners also
      assisted at the restoration of the temple after the Exile (Ezra
      3:7).
     
         In Gen. 11:3, 9, we have the first recorded instance of the
      erection of buildings. The cities of the plain of Shinar were
      founded by the descendants of Shem (10:11, 12, 22).
     
         The Israelites were by occupation shepherds and dwellers in
      tents (Gen. 47:3); but from the time of their entering Canaan
      they became dwellers in towns, and in houses built of the native
      limestone of Palestine. Much building was carried on in
      Solomon's time. Besides the buildings he completed at Jerusalem,
      he also built Baalath and Tadmor (1 Kings 9:15, 24). Many of the
      kings of Israel and Judah were engaged in erecting various
      buildings.
     
         Herod and his sons and successors restored the temple, and
      built fortifications and other structures of great magnificence
      in Jerusalem (Luke 21:5).
     
         The instruments used in building are mentioned as the
      plumb-line (Amos 7:7), the measuring-reed (Ezek. 40:3), and the
      saw (1 Kings 7:9).
     
         Believers are "God's building" (1 Cor. 3:9); and heaven is
      called "a building of God" (2 Cor. 5:1). Christ is the only
      foundation of his church (1 Cor. 3:10-12), of which he also is
      the builder (Matt. 16:18).
