A covered passage or ambulatory on one side of a court;             (pl.) the series of such passages on the different sides             of any court, esp. that of a monastery or a college.                         But let my due feet never fail To walk the studious                      cloister's pale.                                 --Milton.          3.

They differ                   is that the distinctive idea of cloister is that of                   seclusion from the world, that of convent, community                   of living. Both terms denote houses for recluses of                   either sex. A cloister or convent for monks is called                   a monastery; for nuns, a nunnery. An abbey is a                   convent or monastic institution governed by an abbot                   or an abbess; a priory is one governed by a prior or a                   prioress, and is usually affiliated to an abbey.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chalcedony       Mentioned only in Rev. 21:19, as one of the precious stones in       the foundation of the New Jerusalem. The name of this stone is       derived from Chalcedon, where it is said to have been first       discovered. In modern mineralogy this is the name of an       agate-like quartz of a bluish colour. Pliny so names the Indian       ruby. The mineral intended in Revelation is probably the Hebrew       _nophekh_, translated "emerald" (Ex. 28:18; 39:11; Ezek. 27:16;       28:13). It is rendered "anthrax" in the LXX., and "carbunculus"       in the Vulgate. (See {CARBUNCLE}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Closet       as used in the New Testament, signifies properly a storehouse       (Luke 12: 24), and hence a place of privacy and retirement       (Matt. 6:6; Luke 12:3).

Collection       The Christians in Palestine, from various causes, suffered from       poverty. Paul awakened an interest in them among the Gentile       churches, and made pecuniary collections in their behalf (Acts       24:17; Rom. 15:25, 26; 1 Cor. 16:1-3; 2 Cor. 8:9; Gal. 2:10).
