EOF /E-O-F/ n.   [abbreviation, `End Of File'] 1.

[Unix] The keyboard    character (usually control-D, the ASCII EOT (End Of Transmission)    character) that is mapped by the terminal driver into an end-of-file    condition.   3. Used by extension in non-computer contexts when a    human is doing something that can be modeled as a sequential read    and can't go further.   "Yeah, I looked for a list of 360 mnemonics    to post as a joke, but I hit EOF pretty fast; all the library had    was a {JCL} manual."   See also {EOL}.

EVE          {Extensible VAX Editor}
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ephah       gloom. (1.) One of the five sons of Midian, and grandson of       Abraham (Gen. 25:4). The city of Ephah, to which he gave his       name, is mentioned Isa. 60:6, 7. This city, with its surrounding       territory, formed part of Midian, on the east shore of the Dead       Sea. It abounded in dromedaries and camels (Judg. 6:5).                (2.) 1 Chr. 2:46, a concubine of Caleb.                (3.) 1 Chr. 2:47, a descendant of Judah.                Ephah, a word of Egyptian origin, meaning measure; a grain       measure containing "three seahs or ten omers," and equivalent to       the bath for liquids (Ex. 16:36; 1 Sam. 17:17; Zech. 5:6). The       double ephah in Prov. 20:10 (marg., "an ephah and an ephah"),       Deut. 25:14, means two ephahs, the one false and the other just.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Eve       life; living, the name given by Adam to his wife (Gen. 3:20;       4:1). The account of her creation is given in Gen. 2:21, 22. The       Creator, by declaring that it was not good for man to be alone,       and by creating for him a suitable companion, gave sanction to       monogamy. The commentator Matthew Henry says: "This companion       was taken from his side to signify that she was to be dear unto       him as his own flesh. Not from his head, lest she should rule       over him; nor from his feet, lest he should tyrannize over her;       but from his side, to denote that species of equality which is       to subsist in the marriage state." And again, "That wife that is       of God's making by special grace, and of God's bringing by       special providence, is likely to prove a helpmeet to her       husband." Through the subtle temptation of the serpent she       violated the commandment of God by taking of the forbidden       fruit, which she gave also unto her husband (1 Tim. 2:13-15; 2       Cor. 11:3). When she gave birth to her first son, she said, "I       have gotten a man from the Lord" (R.V., "I have gotten a man       with the help of the Lord," Gen. 4:1). Thus she welcomed Cain,       as some think, as if he had been the Promised One the "Seed of       the woman."
