[Originally past participle, or verb in       the imperative mode.]       With exclusion of; leaving or left out; excepting.                   God and his Son except, Created thing naught valued he                nor . . . shunned.                                 --Milton.          Syn: {Except}, {Excepting}, {But}, {Save}, {Besides}.          Usage: Excepting, except, but, and save are exclusive. Except                   marks exclusion more pointedly. [bd]I have finished                   all the letters except one,[b8] is more marked than                   [bd]I have finished all the letters but one.[b8]                   Excepting is the same as except, but less used. Save                   is chiefly found in poetry. Besides (lit., by the side                   of) is in the nature of addition. [bd]There is no one                   here except or but him,[b8] means, take him away and                   there is nobody present. [bd]There is nobody here                   besides him,[b8] means, hi is present and by the side                   of, or in addition to, him is nobody. [bd]Few ladies,                   except her Majesty, could have made themselves                   heard.[b8] In this example, besides should be used,                   not except.

Ecbatana       (Ezra 6:2 marg.). (See {ACHMETHA}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Egypt       the land of the Nile and the pyramids, the oldest kingdom of       which we have any record, holds a place of great significance in       Scripture.                The Egyptians belonged to the white race, and their original       home is still a matter of dispute. Many scholars believe that it       was in Southern Arabia, and recent excavations have shown that       the valley of the Nile was originally inhabited by a low-class       population, perhaps belonging to the Nigritian stock, before the       Egyptians of history entered it. The ancient Egyptian language,       of which the latest form is Coptic, is distantly connected with       the Semitic family of speech.                Egypt consists geographically of two halves, the northern       being the Delta, and the southern Upper Egypt, between Cairo and       the First Cataract. In the Old Testament, Northern or Lower       Egypt is called Mazor, "the fortified land" (Isa. 19:6; 37: 25,       where the A.V. mistranslates "defence" and "besieged places");       while Southern or Upper Egypt is Pathros, the Egyptian       Pa-to-Res, or "the land of the south" (Isa. 11:11). But the       whole country is generally mentioned under the dual name of       Mizraim, "the two Mazors."                The civilization of Egypt goes back to a very remote       antiquity. The two kingdoms of the north and south were united       by Menes, the founder of the first historical dynasty of kings.       The first six dynasties constitute what is known as the Old       Empire, which had its capital at Memphis, south of Cairo, called       in the Old Testament Moph (Hos. 9:6) and Noph. The native name       was Mennofer, "the good place."                The Pyramids were tombs of the monarchs of the Old Empire,       those of Gizeh being erected in the time of the Fourth Dynasty.       After the fall of the Old Empire came a period of decline and       obscurity. This was followed by the Middle Empire, the most       powerful dynasty of which was the Twelfth. The Fayyum was       rescued for agriculture by the kings of the Twelfth Dynasty; and       two obelisks were erected in front of the temple of the sun-god       at On or Heliopolis (near Cairo), one of which is still       standing. The capital of the Middle Empire was Thebes, in Upper       Egypt.                The Middle Empire was overthrown by the invasion of the       Hyksos, or shepherd princes from Asia, who ruled over Egypt,       more especially in the north, for several centuries, and of whom       there were three dynasties of kings. They had their capital at       Zoan or Tanis (now San), in the north-eastern part of the Delta.       It was in the time of the Hyksos that Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph       entered Egypt. The Hyksos were finally expelled about B.C. 1600,       by the hereditary princes of Thebes, who founded the Eighteenth       Dynasty, and carried the war into Asia. Canaan and Syria were       subdued, as well as Cyprus, and the boundaries of the Egyptian       Empire were fixed at the Euphrates. The Soudan, which had been       conquered by the kings of the Twelfth Dynasty, was again annexed       to Egypt, and the eldest son of the Pharaoh took the title of       "Prince of Cush."                One of the later kings of the dynasty, Amenophis IV., or       Khu-n-Aten, endeavoured to supplant the ancient state religion       of Egypt by a new faith derived from Asia, which was a sort of       pantheistic monotheism, the one supreme god being adored under       the image of the solar disk. The attempt led to religious and       civil war, and the Pharaoh retreated from Thebes to Central       Egypt, where he built a new capital, on the site of the present       Tell-el-Amarna. The cuneiform tablets that have been found there       represent his foreign correspondence (about B.C. 1400). He       surrounded himself with officials and courtiers of Asiatic, and       more especially Canaanitish, extraction; but the native party       succeeded eventually in overthrowing the government, the capital       of Khu-n-Aten was destroyed, and the foreigners were driven out       of the country, those that remained being reduced to serfdom.                The national triumph was marked by the rise of the Nineteenth       Dynasty, in the founder of which, Rameses I., we must see the       "new king, who knew not Joseph." His grandson, Rameses II.,       reigned sixty-seven years (B.C. 1348-1281), and was an       indefatigable builder. As Pithom, excavated by Dr. Naville in       1883, was one of the cities he built, he must have been the       Pharaoh of the Oppression. The Pharaoh of the Exodus may have       been one of his immediate successors, whose reigns were short.       Under them Egypt lost its empire in Asia, and was itself       attacked by barbarians from Libya and the north.                The Nineteenth Dynasty soon afterwards came to an end; Egypt       was distracted by civil war; and for a short time a Canaanite,       Arisu, ruled over it.                Then came the Twentieth Dynasty, the second Pharaoh of which,       Rameses III., restored the power of his country. In one of his       campaigns he overran the southern part of Palestine, where the       Israelites had not yet settled. They must at the time have been       still in the wilderness. But it was during the reign of Rameses       III. that Egypt finally lost Gaza and the adjoining cities,       which were seized by the Pulista, or Philistines.                After Rameses III., Egypt fell into decay. Solomon married the       daughter of one of the last kings of the Twenty-first Dynasty,       which was overthrown by Shishak I., the general of the Libyan       mercenaries, who founded the Twenty-second Dynasty (1 Kings       11:40; 14:25, 26). A list of the places he captured in Palestine       is engraved on the outside of the south wall of the temple of       Karnak.                In the time of Hezekiah, Egypt was conquered by Ethiopians       from the Soudan, who constituted the Twenty-fifth Dynasty. The       third of them was Tirhakah (2 Kings 19:9). In B.C. 674 it was       conquered by the Assyrians, who divided it into twenty       satrapies, and Tirhakah was driven back to his ancestral       dominions. Fourteen years later it successfully revolted under       Psammetichus I. of Sais, the founder of the Twenty-sixth       Dynasty. Among his successors were Necho (2 Kings 23:29) and       Hophra, or Apries (Jer. 37:5, 7, 11). The dynasty came to an end       in B.C. 525, when the country was subjugated by Cambyses. Soon       afterwards it was organized into a Persian satrapy.                The title of Pharaoh, given to the Egyptian kings, is the       Egyptian Per-aa, or "Great House," which may be compared to that       of "Sublime Porte." It is found in very early Egyptian texts.                The Egyptian religion was a strange mixture of pantheism and       animal worship, the gods being adored in the form of animals.       While the educated classes resolved their manifold deities into       manifestations of one omnipresent and omnipotent divine power,       the lower classes regarded the animals as incarnations of the       gods.                Under the Old Empire, Ptah, the Creator, the god of Memphis,       was at the head of the Pantheon; afterwards Amon, the god of       Thebes, took his place. Amon, like most of the other gods, was       identified with Ra, the sun-god of Heliopolis.                The Egyptians believed in a resurrection and future life, as       well as in a state of rewards and punishments dependent on our       conduct in this world. The judge of the dead was Osiris, who had       been slain by Set, the representative of evil, and afterwards       restored to life. His death was avenged by his son Horus, whom       the Egyptians invoked as their "Redeemer." Osiris and Horus,       along with Isis, formed a trinity, who were regarded as       representing the sun-god under different forms.                Even in the time of Abraham, Egypt was a flourishing and       settled monarchy. Its oldest capital, within the historic       period, was Memphis, the ruins of which may still be seen near       the Pyramids and the Sphinx. When the Old Empire of Menes came       to an end, the seat of empire was shifted to Thebes, some 300       miles farther up the Nile. A short time after that, the Delta       was conquered by the Hyksos, or shepherd kings, who fixed their       capital at Zoan, the Greek Tanis, now San, on the Tanic arm of       the Nile. All this occurred before the time of the new king       "which knew not Joseph" (Ex. 1:8). In later times Egypt was       conquered by the Persians (B.C. 525), and by the Greeks under       Alexander the Great (B.C. 332), after whom the Ptolemies ruled       the country for three centuries. Subsequently it was for a time       a province of the Roman Empire; and at last, in A.D. 1517, it       fell into the hands of the Turks, of whose empire it still forms       nominally a part. Abraham and Sarah went to Egypt in the time of       the shepherd kings. The exile of Joseph and the migration of       Jacob to "the land of Goshen" occurred about 200 years later. On       the death of Solomon, Shishak, king of Egypt, invaded Palestine       (1 Kings 14:25). He left a list of the cities he conquered.                A number of remarkable clay tablets, discovered at       Tell-el-Amarna in Upper Egypt, are the most important historical       records ever found in connection with the Bible. They most fully       confirm the historical statements of the Book of Joshua, and       prove the antiquity of civilization in Syria and Palestine. As       the clay in different parts of Palestine differs, it has been       found possible by the clay alone to decide where the tablets       come from when the name of the writer is lost. The inscriptions       are cuneiform, and in the Aramaic language, resembling Assyrian.       The writers are Phoenicians, Amorites, and Philistines, but in       no instance Hittites, though Hittites are mentioned. The tablets       consist of official dispatches and letters, dating from B.C.       1480, addressed to the two Pharaohs, Amenophis III. and IV., the       last of this dynasty, from the kings and governors of Phoenicia       and Palestine. There occur the names of three kings killed by       Joshua, Adoni-zedec, king of Jerusalem, Japhia, king of Lachish       (Josh. 10:3), and Jabin, king of Hazor (11:1); also the Hebrews       (Abiri) are said to have come from the desert.                The principal prophecies of Scripture regarding Egypt are       these, Isa. 19; Jer. 43: 8-13; 44:30; 46; Ezek. 29-32; and it       might be easily shown that they have all been remarkably       fulfilled. For example, the singular disappearance of Noph       (i.e., Memphis) is a fulfilment of Jer. 46:19, Ezek. 30:13.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Expiation       Guilt is said to be expiated when it is visited with punishment       falling on a substitute. Expiation is made for our sins when       they are punished not in ourselves but in another who consents       to stand in our room. It is that by which reconciliation is       effected. Sin is thus said to be "covered" by vicarious       satisfaction.                The cover or lid of the ark is termed in the LXX. hilasterion,       that which covered or shut out the claims and demands of the law       against the sins of God's people, whereby he became "propitious"       to them.                The idea of vicarious expiation runs through the whole Old       Testament system of sacrifices. (See {PROPITIATION}.)

Overregulation holds    back technical modernization and foreign investment. Even so, the    economy grew rapidly during the late 1970s and early 1980s, but in    1986 the collapse of world oil prices and an increasingly heavy burden    of debt servicing led Egypt to begin negotiations with the IMF for    balance-of-payments support. Egypt's first IMF standby arrangement    concluded in mid-1987 was suspended in early 1988 because of the    government's failure to adopt promised reforms. Egypt signed a    follow-on program with the IMF and also negotiated a structural    adjustment loan with the World Bank in 1991. In 1991-93 the government    made solid progress on administrative reforms such as liberalizing    exchange and interest rates but resisted implementing major structural    reforms like streamlining the public sector. As a result, the economy    has not gained momentum and unemployment has become a growing problem.    Egypt probably will continue making uneven progress in implementing    the successor programs with the IMF and World Bank it signed onto in    late 1993. Tourism has plunged since 1992 because of sporadic attacks    by Islamic extremists on tourist groups. President MUBARAK has cited    population growth as the main cause of the country's economic    troubles. The addition of about 1.2 million people a year to the    already huge population of 62 million exerts enormous pressure on the    5% of the land area available for agriculture along the Nile.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $151.5 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 1.5% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $2,490 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 8% (1994 est.)       Unemployment rate: 20% (1994 est.)       Budget:    revenues: $18 billion    expenditures: $19.4 billion, including capital expenditures of $3.8    billion (FY94/95 est.)       Exports: $3.1 billion (f.o.b., FY93/94 est.)    commodities: crude oil and petroleum products, cotton yarn, raw    cotton, textiles, metal products, chemicals    partners: EU, US, Japan       Imports: $11.2 billion (c.i.f., FY93/94 est.)    commodities: machinery and equipment, foods, fertilizers, wood    products, durable consumer goods, capital goods    partners: EU, US, Japan       External debt: $31.2 billion (December 1994 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 2.7% (FY92/93 est.)       Electricity:    capacity: 11,830,000 kW    production: 44.5 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 695 kWh (1993)       Industries: textiles, food processing, tourism, chemicals, petroleum,    construction, cement, metals       Agriculture: cotton, rice, corn, wheat, beans, fruit, vegetables;    cattle, water buffalo, sheep, goats; annual fish catch about 140,000    metric tons       Illicit drugs: a transit point for Southwest Asian and Southeast Asian    heroin and opium moving to Europe and the US; popular transit stop for    Nigerian couriers; large domestic consumption of hashish from Lebanon    and Syria       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY70-89), $15.7 billion;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-88), $10.1 billion; OPEC bilateral aid (1979-89), $2.9 billion;    Communist countries (1970-89), $2.4 billion       Currency: 1 Egyptian pound (#E) = 100 piasters       Exchange rates: Egyptian pounds (#E) per US$1 - 3.4 (November 1994),    3.369 (November 1993), 3.345 (November 1992), 2.7072 (1990); market    rate: 3.3920 (January 1995), 3.3920 (1994), 3.3704 (1993), 3.3300    (1992), 2.0000 (1991), 1.1000 (1990)       Fiscal year: 1 July - 30 June       Egypt:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 4,895 km (42 km electrified; 951 km double track)    standard gauge: 4,548 km 1,435-m gauge (42 km electrified; 951 km    double track)    narrow gauge: 347 km 0.750-m gauge       Highways:    total: 47,387 km    paved: 34,593 km    unpaved: 12,794 km       Inland waterways: 3,500 km (including the Nile, Lake Nasser,    Alexandria-Cairo Waterway, and numerous smaller canals in the delta);    Suez Canal, 193.5 km long (including approaches), used by oceangoing    vessels drawing up to 16.1 meters of water       Pipelines: crude oil 1,171 km; petroleum products 596 km; natural gas    460 km       Ports: Alexandria, Al Ghurdaqah, Aswan, Asyut, Bur Safajah, Damietta,    Marsa Matruh, Port Said, Suez       Merchant marine:    total: 168 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 1,187,442 GRT/1,821,327    DWT    ships by type: bulk 19, cargo 83, container 2, oil tanker 15,    passenger 30, refrigerated cargo 1, roll-on/roll-off cargo 14,    short-sea passenger 4       Airports:    total: 91    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 11    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 35    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 17    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 3    with paved runways under 914 m: 14    with unpaved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 2    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 2    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 7       Egypt:Communications       Telephone system: 600,000 telephones; 11 telephones/1,000 persons;    large system by Third World standards but inadequate for present    requirements and undergoing extensive upgrading    local: NA    intercity: principal centers at Alexandria, Cairo, Al Mansurah,    Ismailia Suez, and Tanta are connected by coaxial cable and microwave    radio relay    international: 2 INTELSAT (Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean), 1    ARABSAT, and 1 INMARSAT earth station; 5 coaxial submarine cables,    microwave troposcatter (to Sudan), and microwave radio relay (to    Libya, Israel, and Jordan)       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 39, FM 6, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 41    televisions: NA       Egypt:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Navy, Air Force, Air Defense Command       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 16,113,413; males fit for    military service 10,455,955; males reach military age (20) annually    648,724 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $3.5 billion, 8.2% of    total government budget (FY94/95)
