            by the poets as identical with the Greek Hermes, messenger

               medicine in the free state as in blue pill, and in its

               the only metal which is liquid at ordinary
               temperatures, and it solidifies at about -39[deg]
               Centigrade to a soft, malleable, ductile metal.
  
      3. (Astron.) One of the planets of the solar system, being
            the one nearest the sun, from which its mean distance is
            about 36,000,000 miles. Its period is 88 days, and its
            diameter 3,000 miles.

      6. (Bot.) A plant ({Mercurialis annua}), of the Spurge

   group of mutually supporting memes that form an organized belief
   system, such as a religion.   This lexicon is an (epidemiological)
   vector of the `hacker subculture' meme complex; each entry might be
   considered a meme.   However, `meme' is often misused to mean `meme
   complex'.   Use of the term connotes acceptance of the idea that in

   meme
  
      /meem/ [By analogy with "gene"] Richard Dawkins's
      term for an idea considered as a {replicator}, especially with
      the connotation that memes parasitise people into propagating
      them much as viruses do.
  
      Memes can be considered the unit of cultural evolution.   Ideas
      can evolve in a way analogous to biological evolution.   Some
      ideas survive better than others; ideas can mutate through,
      for example, misunderstandings; and two ideas can recombine to
      produce a new idea involving elements of each parent idea.
  
      The term is used especially in the phrase "meme complex"
      denoting a group of mutually supporting memes that form an
      organised belief system, such as a religion.   However, "meme"
      is often misused to mean "meme complex".
  
      Use of the term connotes acceptance of the idea that in humans
      (and presumably other tool- and language-using sophonts)
      cultural evolution by selection of adaptive ideas has become
      more important than biological evolution by selection of

   menu
  
      A list from which the user may select an
      operation to be performed.   This is often done with a {mouse}
      or other pointing device under a {graphical user interface}
      but may also be controlled from the keyboard.
  
      Menus are very convenient for beginners because they show what
      commands are available and make experimentating with a new
      program easy, often reducing the need for user documentation.
      Experienced users however, often prefer keyboard commands,
      especially for frequently user operations, because they are
      faster to use.   In situations such as text entry where the
      keyboard must be used anyway, having to move your hand to the
      mouse to invoke a menu operation is slow.
  
      There are many different ways of presenting menus but the most
      common are the {menu bar} (with {pull-down menus}) and the
      {context-sensitive menu}.
  
      The term "menu" tends to be reserved for a list of actions or
      global options, whereas a "{list box}" or other graphical
      {widget} might present any kind of choice.

      first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red
      earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26,
      27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo
      and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in
      opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10).
     
         (2.) Heb. 'ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes
      properly a man in opposition to a woman (1 Sam. 17:33; Matt.
      14:21); a husband (Gen. 3:16; Hos. 2:16); man with reference to
      excellent mental qualities.

      14:11; Isa. 8:1; Job 15:14; Ps. 8:4; 9:19, 20; 103:15). It is
      applied to women (Josh. 8:25).
     
         (4.) Heb. geber, man with reference to his strength, as
      distinguished from women (Deut. 22:5) and from children (Ex.
      12:37); a husband (Prov. 6:34).
     
         (5.) Heb. methim, men as mortal (Isa. 41:14), and as opposed
      to women and children (Deut. 3:6; Job 11:3; Isa. 3:25).
     
         Man was created by the immediate hand of God, and is
      generically different from all other creatures (Gen. 1:26, 27;
      2:7). His complex nature is composed of two elements, two
      distinct substances, viz., body and soul (Gen. 2:7; Eccl. 12:7;
      2 Cor. 5:1-8).
     
         The words translated "spirit" and "soul," in 1 Thess. 5:23,
      Heb. 4:12, are habitually used interchangeably (Matt. 10:28;
      16:26; 1 Pet. 1:22). The "spirit" (Gr. pneuma) is the soul as
      rational; the "soul" (Gr. psuche) is the same, considered as the
      animating and vital principle of the body.
     
         Man was created in the likeness of God as to the perfection of
      his nature, in knowledge (Col. 3:10), righteousness, and
      holiness (Eph. 4:24), and as having dominion over all the
      inferior creatures (Gen. 1:28). He had in his original state
      God's law written on his heart, and had power to obey it, and
      yet was capable of disobeying, being left to the freedom of his
      own will. He was created with holy dispositions, prompting him
      to holy actions; but he was fallible, and did fall from his
      integrity (3:1-6). (See {FALL}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Maneh
      portion (Ezek. 45:12), rendered "pound" (1 Kings 10:17; Ezra
      2:69; Neh. 7:71, 72), a weight variously estimated, probably
      about 2 1/2 or 3 lbs. A maneh of gold consisted of a hundred
      common shekels (q.v.). (Comp. 1 Kings 10:17, and 2 Chr. 9:16).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Manna
      Heb. man-hu, "What is that?" the name given by the Israelites to
      the food miraculously supplied to them during their wanderings
      in the wilderness (Ex. 16:15-35). The name is commonly taken as
      derived from _man_, an expression of surprise, "What is it?" but
      more probably it is derived from _manan_, meaning "to allot,"
      and hence denoting an "allotment" or a "gift." This "gift" from
      God is described as "a small round thing," like the "hoar-frost
      on the ground," and "like coriander seed," "of the colour of
      bdellium," and in taste "like wafers made with honey." It was
      capable of being baked and boiled, ground in mills, or beaten in
      a mortar (Ex. 16:23; Num. 11:7). If any was kept over till the
      following morning, it became corrupt with worms; but as on the
      Sabbath none fell, on the preceding day a double portion was
      given, and that could be kept over to supply the wants of the
      Sabbath without becoming corrupt. Directions concerning the
      gathering of it are fully given (Ex. 16:16-18, 33; Deut. 8:3,
      16). It fell for the first time after the eighth encampment in
      the desert of Sin, and was daily furnished, except on the
      Sabbath, for all the years of the wanderings, till they encamped
      at Gilgal, after crossing the Jordan, when it suddenly ceased,
      and where they "did eat of the old corn of the land; neither had
      the children of Israel manna any more" (Josh. 5:12). They now no
      longer needed the "bread of the wilderness."
     
         This manna was evidently altogether a miraculous gift, wholly
      different from any natural product with which we are acquainted,
      and which bears this name. The manna of European commerce comes
      chiefly from Calabria and Sicily. It drops from the twigs of a
      species of ash during the months of June and July. At night it
      is fluid and resembles dew, but in the morning it begins to
      harden. The manna of the Sinaitic peninsula is an exudation from
      the "manna-tamarisk" tree (Tamarix mannifera), the el-tarfah of
      the Arabs. This tree is found at the present day in certain
      well-watered valleys in the peninsula of Sinai. The manna with
      which the people of Israel were fed for forty years differs in
      many particulars from all these natural products.
     
         Our Lord refers to the manna when he calls himself the "true
      bread from heaven" (John 6:31-35; 48-51). He is also the "hidden
      manna" (Rev. 2:17; comp. John 6:49,51).

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Maon
      habitation, a town in the tribe of Judah, about 7 miles south of
      Hebron, which gave its name to the wilderness, the district
      round the conical hill on which the town stood. Here David hid
      from Saul, and here Nabal had his possessions and his home (1
      Sam. 23:24, 25; 25:2). "Only some small foundations of hewn
      stone, a square enclosure, and several cisterns are now to be
      seen at Maon. Are they the remains of Nabal's great
      establishment?" The hill is now called Tell M'ain.

   Mene
      (Dan. 5:25, 26), numbered, one of the words of the mysterious
      inscription written "upon the plaister of the wall" in
      Belshazzar's palace at Babylon. The writing was explained by
      Daniel. (See {BELSHAZZAR}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Meni
      Isa. 65:11, marg. (A.V., "that number;" R.V., "destiny"),
      probably an idol which the captive Israelites worshipped after
      the example of the Babylonians. It may have been a symbol of
      destiny. LXX., tuche.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Mine
      The process of mining is described in Job 28:1-11. Moses speaks
      of the mineral wealth of Palestine (Deut. 8:9). Job 28:4 is
      rightly thus rendered in the Revised Version, "He breaketh open
      a shaft away from where men sojourn; they are forgotten of the
      foot [that passeth by]; they hang afar from men, they swing to
      and fro." These words illustrate ancient mining operations.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Minni
      only in Jer. 51:27, as the name of a province in Armenia, which
      was at this time under the Median kings. Armenia is regarded by
      some as = Har-minni i.e., the mountainous country of Minni. (See {ARMENIA}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Money
      Of uncoined money the first notice we have is in the history of
      Abraham (Gen. 13:2; 20:16; 24:35). Next, this word is used in
      connection with the purchase of the cave of Machpelah (23:16),
      and again in connection with Jacob's purchase of a field at
      Shalem (Gen. 33:18, 19) for "an hundred pieces of money"=an
      hundred Hebrew kesitahs (q.v.), i.e., probably pieces of money,
      as is supposed, bearing the figure of a lamb.
     
         The history of Joseph affords evidence of the constant use of
      money, silver of a fixed weight. This appears also in all the
      subsequent history of the Jewish people, in all their internal
      as well as foreign transactions. There were in common use in
      trade silver pieces of a definite weight, shekels, half-shekels,
      and quarter-shekels. But these were not properly coins, which
      are pieces of metal authoritatively issued, and bearing a stamp.
     
         Of the use of coined money we have no early notice among the
      Hebrews. The first mentioned is of Persian coinage, the daric
      (Ezra 2:69; Neh. 7:70) and the 'adarkon (Ezra 8:27). The daric
      (q.v.) was a gold piece current in Palestine in the time of
      Cyrus. As long as the Jews, after the Exile, lived under Persian
      rule, they used Persian coins. These gave place to Greek coins
      when Palestine came under the dominion of the Greeks (B.C. 331),
      the coins consisting of gold, silver, and copper pieces. The
      usual gold pieces were staters (q.v.), and the silver coins
      tetradrachms and drachms.
     
         In the year B.C. 140, Antiochus VII. gave permission to Simon
      the Maccabee to coin Jewish money. Shekels (q.v.) were then
      coined bearing the figure of the almond rod and the pot of
      manna.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Moon
      heb. yareah, from its paleness (Ezra 6:15), and lebanah, the
      "white" (Cant. 6:10; Isa. 24:23), was appointed by the Creator
      to be with the sun "for signs, and for seasons, and for days,
      and years" (Gen. 1:14-16). A lunation was among the Jews the
      period of a month, and several of their festivals were held on
      the day of the new moon. It is frequently referred to along with
      the sun (Josh. 10:12; Ps. 72:5, 7, 17; 89:36, 37; Eccl. 12:2;
      Isa. 24:23, etc.), and also by itself (Ps. 8:3; 121:6).
     
         The great brilliance of the moon in Eastern countries led to
      its being early an object of idolatrous worship (Deut. 4:19;
      17:3; Job 31:26), a form of idolatry against which the Jews were
      warned (Deut. 4:19; 17:3). They, however, fell into this
      idolatry, and offered incense (2 Kings 23:5; Jer. 8:2), and also
      cakes of honey, to the moon (Jer. 7:18; 44:17-19, 25).
