[fb]58. Cf. {Tidings}, {Tidy}, {Till},       prep., {Time}.]       1. Time; period; season. [Obsoles.] [bd]This lusty summer's             tide.[b8] --Chaucer.                         And rest their weary limbs a tide.      --Spenser.                         Which, at the appointed tide, Each one did make his                      bride.                                                --Spenser.                         At the tide of Christ his birth.         --Fuller.          2. The alternate rising and falling of the waters of the             ocean, and of bays, rivers, etc., connected therewith. The             tide ebbs and flows twice in each lunar day, or the space             of a little more than twenty-four hours. It is occasioned             by the attraction of the sun and moon (the influence of             the latter being three times that of the former), acting             unequally on the waters in different parts of the earth,             thus disturbing their equilibrium. A high tide upon one             side of the earth is accompanied by a high tide upon the             opposite side. Hence, when the sun and moon are in             conjunction or opposition, as at new moon and full moon,             their action is such as to produce a greater than the             usual tide, called the {spring tide}, as represented in             the cut. When the moon is in the first or third quarter,             the sun's attraction in part counteracts the effect of the             moon's attraction, thus producing under the moon a smaller             tide than usual, called the {neap tide}.          Note: The flow or rising of the water is called flood tide,                and the reflux, ebb tide.          3. A stream; current; flood; as, a tide of blood. [bd]Let in             the tide of knaves once more; my cook and I'll             provide.[b8] --Shak.          4.

See under {Work}, v. t.          {Tide day}, the interval between the occurrences of two             consecutive maxima of the resultant wave at the same             place. Its length varies as the components of sun and moon             waves approach to, or recede from, one another. A             retardation from this cause is called the lagging of the             tide, while the acceleration of the recurrence of high             water is termed the priming of the tide. See {Lag of the             tide}, under 2d {Lag}.          {Tide dial}, a dial to exhibit the state of the tides at any             time.          {Tide gate}.             (a) An opening through which water may flow freely when                   the tide sets in one direction, but which closes                   automatically and prevents the water from flowing in                   the other direction.             (b) (Naut.) A place where the tide runs with great                   velocity, as through a gate.          {Tide gauge}, a gauge for showing the height of the tide;             especially, a contrivance for registering the state of the             tide continuously at every instant of time. --Brande & C.          {Tide lock}, a lock situated between an inclosed basin, or a             canal, and the tide water of a harbor or river, when they             are on different levels, so that craft can pass either way             at all times of the tide; -- called also {guard lock}.          {Tide mill}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Girdle       (1.) Heb. hagor, a girdle of any kind worn by soldiers (1 Sam.       18:4; 2 Sam. 20:8; 1 Kings 2:5; 2 Kings 3:21) or women (Isa.       3:24).                (2.) Heb. 'ezor, something "bound," worn by prophets (2 Kings       1:8; Jer. 13:1), soldiers (Isa. 5:27; 2 Sam. 20:8; Ezek. 23:15),       Kings (Job 12:18).                (3.) Heb. mezah, a "band," a girdle worn by men alone (Ps.       109:19; Isa. 22:21).                (4.) Heb. 'abnet, the girdle of sacerdotal and state officers       (Ex. 28:4, 39, 40; 29:9; 39:29).                (5.) Heb. hesheb, the "curious girdle" (Ex. 28:8; R.V.,       "cunningly woven band") was attached to the ephod, and was made       of the same material.                The common girdle was made of leather (2 Kings 1:8; Matt.       3:4); a finer sort of linen (Jer. 13:1; Ezek. 16:10; Dan. 10:5).       Girdles of sackcloth were worn in token of sorrow (Isa. 3:24;       22:12). They were variously fastened to the wearer (Mark 1:6;       Jer. 13:1; Ezek. 16:10).                The girdle was a symbol of strength and power (Job 12:18, 21;       30:11; Isa. 22:21; 45:5). "Righteousness and faithfulness" are       the girdle of the Messiah (Isa. 11:5).                Girdles were used as purses or pockets (Matt. 10:9. A. V.,       "purses;" R.V., marg., "girdles." Also Mark 6:8).
