From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Fir       the uniform rendering in the Authorized Version (marg. R.V.,       "cypress") of _berosh_ (2 Sam. 6:5; 1 Kings 5:8, 10; 6:15, 34;       9:11, etc.), a lofty tree (Isa. 55:13) growing on Lebanon       (37:24). Its wood was used in making musical instruments and       doors of houses, and for ceilings (2 Chr. 3:5), the decks of       ships (Ezek. 27:5), floorings and spear-shafts (Nah. 2:3, R.V.).       The true fir (abies) is not found in Palestine, but the pine       tree, of which there are four species, is common.                The precise kind of tree meant by the "green fir tree" (Hos.       14:8) is uncertain. Some regard it as the sherbin tree, a       cypress resembling the cedar; others, the Aleppo or maritime       pine (Pinus halepensis), which resembles the Scotch fir; while       others think that the "stone-pine" (Pinus pinea) is probably       meant. (See {PINE}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Fire       (1.) For sacred purposes. The sacrifices were consumed by fire       (Gen. 8:20). The ever-burning fire on the altar was first       kindled from heaven (Lev. 6:9, 13; 9:24), and afterwards       rekindled at the dedication of Solomon's temple (2 Chr. 7:1, 3).       The expressions "fire from heaven" and "fire of the Lord"       generally denote lightning, but sometimes also the fire of the       altar was so called (Ex. 29:18; Lev. 1:9; 2:3; 3:5, 9).                Fire for a sacred purpose obtained otherwise than from the       altar was called "strange fire" (Lev. 10:1, 2; Num. 3:4).                The victims slain for sin offerings were afterwards consumed       by fire outside the camp (Lev. 4:12, 21; 6:30; 16:27; Heb.       13:11).                (2.) For domestic purposes, such as baking, cooking, warmth,       etc. (Jer. 36:22; Mark 14:54; John 18:18). But on Sabbath no       fire for any domestic purpose was to be kindled (Ex. 35:3; Num.       15:32-36).                (3.) Punishment of death by fire was inflicted on such as were       guilty of certain forms of unchastity and incest (Lev. 20:14;       21:9). The burning of captives in war was not unknown among the       Jews (2 Sam. 12:31; Jer. 29:22). The bodies of infamous persons       who were executed were also sometimes burned (Josh. 7:25; 2       Kings 23:16).                (4.) In war, fire was used in the destruction of cities, as       Jericho (Josh. 6:24), Ai (8:19), Hazor (11:11), Laish (Judg.       18:27), etc. The war-chariots of the Canaanites were burnt       (Josh. 11:6, 9, 13). The Israelites burned the images (2 Kings       10:26; R.V., "pillars") of the house of Baal. These objects of       worship seem to have been of the nature of obelisks, and were       sometimes evidently made of wood.                Torches were sometimes carried by the soldiers in battle       (Judg. 7:16).                (5.) Figuratively, fire is a symbol of Jehovah's presence and       the instrument of his power (Ex. 14:19; Num. 11:1, 3; Judg.       13:20; 1 Kings 18:38; 2 Kings 1:10, 12; 2:11; Isa. 6:4; Ezek.       1:4; Rev. 1:14, etc.).                God's word is also likened unto fire (Jer. 23:29). It is       referred to as an emblem of severe trials or misfortunes (Zech.       12:6; Luke 12:49; 1 Cor. 3:13, 15; 1 Pet. 1:7), and of eternal       punishment (Matt. 5:22; Mark 9:44; Rev. 14:10; 21:8).                The influence of the Holy Ghost is likened unto fire (Matt.       3:11). His descent was denoted by the appearance of tongues as       of fire (Acts 2:3).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Furrow       an opening in the ground made by the plough (Ps. 65:10; Hos.       10:4, 10).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Fury       as attributed to God, is a figurative expression for dispensing       afflictive judgments (Lev. 26:28; Job 20:23; Isa. 63:3; Jer.       4:4; Ezek. 5:13; Dan. 9:16; Zech. 8:2).
