It was       the burying-place of Sarah and of Abraham himself, also of       Isaac, Rebekah, Leah, and Jacob (Gen. 49:31; 50:13).                The cave of Makkedah, into which the five Amorite kings       retired after their defeat by Joshua (10:16, 27).                The cave of Adullam (q.v.), an immense natural cavern, where       David hid himself from Saul (1 Sam. 22:1, 2).                The cave of Engedi (q.v.), now called 'Ain Jidy, i.e., the       "Fountain of the Kid", where David cut off the skirt of Saul's       robe (24:4). Here he also found a shelter for himself and his       followers to the number of 600 (23:29; 24:1). "On all sides the       country is full of caverns which might serve as lurking-places       for David and his men, as they do for outlaws at the present       day."                The cave in which Obadiah hid the prophets (1 Kings 18:4) was       probably in the north, but it cannot be identified.                The cave of Elijah (1 Kings 19:9), and the "cleft" of Moses on       Horeb (Ex. 33:22), cannot be determined.                In the time of Gideon the Israelites took refuge from the       Midianites in dens and caves, such as abounded in the mountain       regions of Manasseh (Judg. 6:2).                Caves were frequently used as dwelling-places (Num. 24:21;       Cant. 2:14; Jer. 49:16; Obad. 1:3). "The excavations at Deir       Dubban, on the south side of the wady leading to Santa Hanneh,       are probably the dwellings of the Horites," the ancient       inhabitants of Idumea Proper. The pits or cavities in rocks were       also sometimes used as prisons (Isa. 24:22; 51:14; Zech. 9:11).       Those which had niches in their sides were occupied as       burying-places (Ezek. 32:23; John 11:38).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chaff       the refuse of winnowed corn. It was usually burned (Ex. 15:7;       Isa. 5:24; Matt. 3:12). This word sometimes, however, means       dried grass or hay (Isa. 5:24; 33:11). Chaff is used as a figure       of abortive wickedness (Ps. 1:4; Matt. 3:12). False doctrines       are also called chaff (Jer. 23:28), or more correctly rendered       "chopped straw." The destruction of the wicked, and their       powerlessness, are likened to the carrying away of chaff by the       wind (Isa. 17:13; Hos. 13:3; Zeph. 2:2).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chub       the name of a people in alliance with Egypt in the time of       Nebuchadnezzar. The word is found only in Ezek. 30:5. They were       probably a people of Northern Africa, or of the lands near Egypt       in the south.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cup       a wine-cup (Gen. 40:11, 21), various forms of which are found on       Assyrian and Egyptian monuments. All Solomon's drinking vessels       were of gold (1 Kings 10: 21). The cups mentioned in the New       Testament were made after Roman and Greek models, and were       sometimes of gold (Rev. 17:4).                The art of divining by means of a cup was practiced in Egypt       (Gen. 44:2-17), and in the East generally.                The "cup of salvation" (Ps. 116:13) is the cup of thanksgiving       for the great salvation. The "cup of consolation" (Jer. 16:7)       refers to the custom of friends sending viands and wine to       console relatives in mourning (Prov. 31:6). In 1 Cor. 10:16, the       "cup of blessing" is contrasted with the "cup of devils" (1 Cor.       10:21). The sacramental cup is the "cup of blessing," because of       blessing pronounced over it (Matt. 26:27; Luke 22:17). The       "portion of the cup" (Ps. 11:6; 16:5) denotes one's condition of       life, prosperous or adverse. A "cup" is also a type of sensual       allurement (Jer. 51:7; Prov. 23:31; Rev. 17:4). We read also of       the "cup of astonishment," the "cup of trembling," and the "cup       of God's wrath" (Ps. 75:8; Isa. 51:17; Jer. 25:15; Lam. 4:21;       Ezek. 23:32; Rev. 16:19; comp. Matt. 26:39, 42; John 18:11). The       cup is also the symbol of death (Matt. 16:28; Mark 9:1; Heb.       2:9).

Total output in 1994 was    only about half the output of 1989. The fall in output and in imports    is reflected in the deterioration of food supplies, shortages of    electricity, inability to get spare parts, and the replacement of    motor-driven vehicles by bicycles and draft animals. Higher world    market prices for sugar and nickel in 1994, however, resulted in a    slight increase in export earnings for the first time in six years,    despite lower production of both commodities. The growth of tourism    slowed in late 1994 as a result of negative publicity surrounding the    exodus of Cubans from the island and other international factors. The    government continued its aggressive search for foreign investment and    announced preliminary agreements to form large joint ventures with    Mexican investors in telecommunications and oil refining. In mid-1994,    the National Assembly began introducing several new taxes and price    increases to stem growing excess liquidity and restore some of the    peso's value as a monetary instrument. In October the government    attempted to stimulate food production by permitting the sale of any    surplus production (over state quotas) at unrestricted prices at    designated markets. Similar but much smaller markets were also    introduced for the sale of manufactured goods in December. The various    government measures have influenced a remarkable appreciation of the    black market value of the peso, from more than 100 pesos to the dollar    in September 1994 to 40 pesos to the dollar in early 1995. Policy    discussions continue in the bureaucracy over the proper pace and scope    of economic reform.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $14 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 0.4% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $1,260 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): NA%       Unemployment rate: NA%       Budget:    revenues: $9.3 billion    expenditures: $12.5 billion, including capital expenditures of $NA    (1994 est.)       Exports: $1.6 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: sugar, nickel, shellfish, tobacco, medical products,    citrus, coffee    partners: Russia 15%, Canada 9%, China 8%, Egypt 6%, Spain 5%, Japan    4%, Morocco 4% (1994 est.)       Imports: $1.7 billion (c.i.f., 1994 est.)    commodities: petroleum, food, machinery, chemicals    partners: Spain 17%, Mexico 10%, France 8%, China 8%, Venezuela 7%,    Italy 4%, Canada 3%, (1994 est.)       External debt: $10.8 billion (convertible currency, December 1993)       Industrial production: growth rate NA%       Electricity:    capacity: 3,990,000 kW    production: 12 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 1,022 kWh (1993)       Industries: sugar milling and refining, petroleum refining, food and    tobacco processing, textiles, chemicals, paper and wood products,    metals (particularly nickel), cement, fertilizers, consumer goods,    agricultural machinery       Agriculture: key commercial crops - sugarcane, tobacco, and citrus    fruits; other products - coffee, rice, potatoes, meat, beans; world's    largest sugar exporter; not self-sufficient in food (excluding sugar);    sector hurt by persistent shortages of fuels and parts       Economic aid:    recipient: Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral    commitments (1970-89), $710 million; Communist countries (1970-89),    $18.5 billion       Currency: 1 Cuban peso (Cu$) = 100 centavos       Exchange rates: Cuban pesos (Cu$) per US$1 - 1.0000 (non-convertible,    official rate, linked to the US dollar)       Fiscal year: calendar year       Cuba:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 12,623 km    standard gauge: 4,881 km 1.435-m gauge (151.7 km electrified)    other: 7,742 km 0.914- and 1.435-m gauge for sugar plantation lines       Highways:    total: 26,477 km    paved: 14,477 km    unpaved: gravel or earth 12,000 km (1989)       Inland waterways: 240 km       Ports: Cienfuegos, La Habana, Manzanillo, Mariel, Matanzas, Nuevitas,    Santiago de Cuba       Merchant marine:    total: 48 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 278,103 GRT/396,138 DWT    ships by type: bulk 1, cargo 22, chemical tanker 1, liquefied gas    tanker 4, oil tanker 10, passenger-cargo 1, refrigerated cargo 9    note: Cuba beneficially owns an additional 24 ships (1,000 GRT or    over) totaling 215,703 DWT under the registry of Panama, Cyprus,    Malta, and Mauritius       Airports:    total: 181    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 7    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 8    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 13    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 10    with paved runways under 914 m: 106    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 1    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 36       Cuba:Communications       Telephone system: 229,000 telephones; 20.7 telephones/1,000 persons;    among the world's least developed telephone systems    local: NA    intercity: NA    international: 1 INTELSAT (Atlantic Ocean) earth station       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 150, FM 5, shortwave 0    radios: 2.14 million       Television:    broadcast stations: 58    televisions: 1.53 million       Cuba:Defense Forces       Branches: Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) includes ground forces,    Revolutionary Navy (MGR), Air and Air Defense Force (DAAFAR),    Territorial Militia Troops (MTT), and Youth Labor Army (EJT); Interior    Ministry Border Guards (TGF),       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 3,065,751; females age 15-49    3,023,997; males fit for military service 1,909,901; females fit for    military service 1,878,768; males reach military age (17) annually    72,582; females reach military age (17) annually 69,361 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - approx. $600 million,    4% of GSP (gross social product) in 1994 was for defense       Note: Moscow, for decades the key military supporter and supplier of    Cuba, cut off military aid by 1993
