From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Garrison       (1.) Heb. matstsab, a station; a place where one stands (1 Sam.       14:12); a military or fortified post (1 Sam. 13:23; 14:1, 4, 6,       etc.).                (2.) Heb. netsib, a prefect, superintendent; hence a military       post (1 Sam. 10:5; 13:3, 4; 2 Sam. 8:6). This word has also been       explained to denote a pillar set up to mark the Philistine       conquest, or an officer appointed to collect taxes; but the idea       of a military post seems to be the correct one.                (3.) Heb. matstsebah, properly a monumental column; improperly       rendered pl. "garrisons" in Ezek. 26:11; correctly in Revised       Version "pillars," marg. "obelisks," probably an idolatrous       image.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Gerizim       a mountain of Samaria, about 3,000 feet above the Mediterranean.       It was on the left of the valley containing the ancient town of       Shechem (q.v.), on the way to Jerusalem. It stood over against       Mount Ebal, the summits of these mountains being distant from       each other about 2 miles (Deut. 27; Josh. 8:30-35). On the       slopes of this mountain the tribes descended from the handmaids       of Leah and Rachel, together with the tribe of Reuben, were       gathered together, and gave the responses to the blessing       pronounced as the reward of obedience, when Joshua in the valley       below read the whole law in the hearing of all the people; as       those gathered on Ebal responded with a loud Amen to the       rehearsal of the curses pronounced on the disobedient. It was       probably at this time that the coffin containing the embalmed       body of Joseph was laid in the "parcel of ground which Jacob       bought of the sons of Hamor" (Gen. 33:19; 50:25).                Josephus relates (Ant. 11:8, 2-4) that Sanballat built a       temple for the Samaritans on this mountain, and instituted a       priesthood, as rivals to those of the Jews at Jerusalem. This       temple was destroyed after it had stood two hundred years. It       was afterwards rebuilt by Herod the Great. There is a Samaritan       tradition that it was the scene of the incident recorded in Gen.       22. There are many ruins on this mountain, some of which are       evidently of Christian buildings. To this mountain the woman of       Sychar referred in John 4:20. For centuries Gerizim was the       centre of political outbreaks. The Samaritans (q.v.), a small       but united body, still linger here, and keep up their ancient       ceremonial worship.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Gershom       expulsion. (1.) The eldest son of Levi (1 Chr. 6:16, 17, 20, 43,       62, 71; 15:7)=GERSHON (q.v.).                (2.) The elder of the two sons of Moses born to him in Midian       (Ex. 2:22; 18:3). On his way to Egypt with his family, in       obedience to the command of the Lord, Moses was attacked by a       sudden and dangerous illness (4:24-26), which Zipporah his wife       believed to have been sent because he had neglected to       circumcise his son. She accordingly took a "sharp stone" and       circumcised her son Gershom, saying, "Surely a bloody husband       art thou to me", i.e., by the blood of her child she had, as it       were, purchased her husband, had won him back again.                (3.) A descendant of Phinehas who returned with Ezra from       Babylon (Ezra 8:2).                (4.) The son of Manasseh (Judg. 18:30), in R.V. "of Moses."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Gershon       =Ger'shom expulsion, the eldest of Levi's three sons (Gen.       46:11; Ex. 6:16).                In the wilderness the sons of Gershon had charge of the       fabrics of the tabernacle when it was moved from place to place,       the curtains, veils, tent-hangings (Num. 3: 21-26). Thirteen       Levitical cities fell to the lot of the Gershonites (Josh.       21:27-33).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Grace, means of       an expression not used in Scripture, but employed (1) to denote       those institutions ordained by God to be the ordinary channels       of grace to the souls of men. These are the Word, Sacraments,       and Prayer.                (2.) But in popular language the expression is used in a wider       sense to denote those exercises in which we engage for the       purpose of obtaining spiritual blessing; as hearing the gospel,       reading the Word, meditation, self-examination, Christian       conversation, etc.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Grecians       Hellenists, Greek-Jews; Jews born in a foreign country, and thus       did not speak Hebrew (Acts 6:1; 9:29), nor join in the Hebrew       services of the Jews in Palestine, but had synagogues of their       own in Jerusalem. Joel 3:6 =Greeks.
