From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
braille          /breyl/ (Often capitalised) A class of       {writing systems}, intended for use by blind and low-vision       users, which express {glyphs} as raised dots.   Currently       employed braille standards use eight dots per cell, where a       cell is a glyph-space two dots across by four dots high; most       glyphs use only the top six dots.          Braille was developed by Louis Braille (pronounced /looy       bray/) in France in the 1820s.   Braille systems for most       languages can be fairly trivially converted to and from the       usual script.          Braille has several totally coincidental parallels with       digital computing: it is {binary}, it is based on groups of       eight bits/dots and its development began in the 1820s, at the       same time {Charles Babbage} proposed the {Difference Engine}.          Computers output Braille on {braille displays} and {braille       printers} for hard copy.          {British Royal National Institute for the Blind       (http://www.rnib.org.uk/wesupply/fctsheet/braille.htm)}.          (1998-10-19)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Barley       a grain much cultivated in Egypt (Ex. 9:31) and in Palestine       (Lev. 27:16; Deut. 8:8). It was usually the food of horses (1       Kings 4:28). Barley bread was used by the poorer people (Judg.       7:13; 2 Kings 4:42). Barley of the first crop was ready for the       harvest by the time of the Passover, in the middle of April       (Ruth 1:22; 2 Sam. 21:9). Mention is made of barley-meal (Num.       5:15). Our Lord fed five thousand with "five barley loaves and       two small fishes" (John 6:9).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Barrel       a vessel used for keeping flour (1 Kings 17:12, 14, 16). The       same word (cad) so rendered is also translated "pitcher," a       vessel for carrying water (Gen. 24:14; Judg. 7:16).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Beryl       the rendering in the Authorized Version of the Hebrew word       _tarshish_, a precious stone; probably so called as being       brought from Tarshish. It was one of the stones on the       breastplate of the high priest (Ex. 28:20; R.V. marg.,       "chalcedony;" 39:13). The colour of the wheels in Ezekiel's       vision was as the colour of a beryl stone (1:16; 10:9; R.V.,       "stone of Tarshish"). It is mentioned in Cant. 5:14; Dan. 10:6;       Rev. 21:20. In Ezek. 28:13 the LXX. render the word by       "chrysolite," which the Jewish historian Josephus regards as its       proper translation. This also is the rendering given in the       Authorized Version in the margin. That was a gold-coloured gem,       the topaz of ancient authors.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Burial       The first burial we have an account of is that of Sarah (Gen.       23). The first commercial transaction recorded is that of the       purchase of a burial-place, for which Abraham weighed to Ephron       "four hundred shekels of silver current money with the       merchants." Thus the patriarch became the owner of a part of the       land of Canaan, the only part he ever possessed. When he himself       died, "his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of       Machpelah," beside Sarah his wife (Gen. 25:9).                Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, was buried under Allon-bachuth, "the       oak of weeping" (Gen. 35:8), near to Bethel. Rachel died, and       was buried near Ephrath; "and Jacob set a pillar upon her grave"       (16-20). Isaac was buried at Hebron, where he had died (27, 29).       Jacob, when charging his sons to bury him in the cave of       Machpelah, said, "There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife;       there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried       Leah" (49:31). In compliance with the oath which he made him       swear unto him (47:29-31), Joseph, assisted by his brethren,       buried Jacob in the cave of Machpelah (50:2, 13). At the Exodus,       Moses "took the bones of Joseph with him," and they were buried       in the "parcel of ground" which Jacob had bought of the sons of       Hamor (Josh. 24:32), which became Joseph's inheritance (Gen.       48:22; 1 Chr. 5:1; John 4:5). Two burials are mentioned as       having taken place in the wilderness. That of Miriam (Num.       20:1), and that of Moses, "in the land of Moab" (Deut. 34:5, 6,       8). There is no account of the actual burial of Aaron, which       probably, however, took place on the summit of Mount Hor (Num.       20:28, 29).                Joshua was buried "in the border of his inheritance in       Timnath-serah" (Josh. 24: 30).                In Job we find a reference to burying-places, which were       probably the Pyramids (3:14, 15). The Hebrew word for "waste       places" here resembles in sound the Egyptian word for       "pyramids."                Samuel, like Moses, was honoured with a national burial (1       Sam. 25:1). Joab (1 Kings 2:34) "was buried in his own house in       the wilderness."                In connection with the burial of Saul and his three sons we       meet for the first time with the practice of burning the dead (1       Sam. 31:11-13). The same practice is again referred to by Amos       (6:10).                Absalom was buried "in the wood" where he was slain (2 Sam.       18:17, 18). The raising of the heap of stones over his grave was       intended to mark abhorrence of the person buried (comp. Josh.       7:26 and 8:29). There was no fixed royal burying-place for the       Hebrew kings. We find several royal burials taking place,       however, "in the city of David" (1 Kings 2:10; 11:43; 15:8; 2       Kings 14:19, 20; 15:38; 1 Kings 14:31; 22:50; 2 Chr. 21:19, 20;       2 Chr. 24:25, etc.). Hezekiah was buried in the mount of the       sepulchres of the sons of David; "and all Judah and the       inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death" (2 Chr.       32:33).                Little is said regarding the burial of the kings of Israel.       Some of them were buried in Samaria, the capital of their       kingdom (2 Kings 10:35; 13:9; 14:16).                Our Lord was buried in a new tomb, hewn out of the rock, which       Joseph of Arimathea had prepared for himself (Matt. 27:57-60;       Mark 15:46; John 19:41, 42).                The grave of Lazarus was "a cave, and a stone lay on it" (John       11:38). Graves were frequently either natural caverns or       artificial excavations formed in the sides of rocks (Gen. 23:9;       Matt. 27:60); and coffins were seldom used, unless when the body       was brought from a distance.
