      seife, OHG. seifa, Icel. s[be]pa, Sw. s[?]pa, Dan. s[?]be,
      and perhaps to AS. s[c6]pan to drip, MHG. s[c6]fen, and L.
      sebum tallow. Cf. {Saponaceous}.]
      A substance which dissolves in water, thus forming a lather,
      and is used as a cleansing agent. Soap is produced by
      combining fats or oils with alkalies or alkaline earths,
      usually by boiling, and consists of salts of sodium,
      potassium, etc., with the fatty acids (oleic, stearic,
      palmitic, etc.). See the Note below, and cf.
      {Saponification}. By extension, any compound of similar
      composition or properties, whether used as a cleaning agent
      or not.
  
      Note: In general, soaps are of two classes, hard and soft.
               Calcium, magnesium, lead, etc., form soaps, but they
               are insoluble and useless.
  
                        The purifying action of soap depends upon the
                        fact that it is decomposed by a large quantity of
                        water into free alkali and an insoluble acid
                        salt. The first of these takes away the fatty
                        dirt on washing, and the latter forms the soap
                        lather which envelops the greasy matter and thus
                        tends to remove it.                        --Roscoe &

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Castle
      a military fortress (1 Chr. 11:7), also probably a kind of tower
      used by the priests for making known anything discovered at a
      distance (1 Chr. 6:54). Castles are also mentioned (Gen. 25:16)
      as a kind of watch-tower, from which shepherds kept watch over
      their flocks by night. The "castle" into which the chief captain
      commanded Paul to be brought was the quarters of the Roman
      soldiers in the fortress of Antonia (so called by Herod after
      his patron Mark Antony), which was close to the north-west
      corner of the temple (Acts 21:34), which it commanded.
