                  for a long time unconverted. Heathen has the same
                  origin. Pagan is now more properly applied to rude and
                  uncivilized idolaters, while heathen embraces all who
                  practice idolatry.

      Syn: {Passion}, {Feeling}, {Emotion}.
  
      Usage: When any feeling or emotion completely masters the
                  mind, we call it a passion; as, a passion for music,
                  dress, etc.; especially is anger (when thus extreme)
                  called passion. The mind, in such cases, is considered
                  as having lost its self-control, and become the
                  passive instrument of the feeling in question.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Pigeon
      Pigeons are mentioned as among the offerings which, by divine
      appointment, Abram presented unto the Lord (Gen. 15:9). They
      were afterwards enumerated among the sin-offerings (Lev. 1:14;
      12:6), and the law provided that those who could not offer a
      lamb might offer two young pigeons (5:7; comp. Luke 2:24). (See {DOVE}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Pison

      others with the Halys, others the Jorak or Acampis, others the
      Jaab, the Indus, the Ganges, etc.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Poison
      (1.) Heb. hemah, "heat," the poison of certain venomous reptiles
      (Deut. 32:24, 33; Job 6:4; Ps. 58:4), causing inflammation.
     
         (2.) Heb. rosh, "a head," a poisonous plant (Deut. 29:18),
      growing luxuriantly (Hos. 10:4), of a bitter taste (Ps. 69:21;
      Lam. 3:5), and coupled with wormwood; probably the poppy. This
      word is rendered "gall", q.v., (Deut. 29:18; 32:33; Ps. 69:21;
      Jer. 8:14, etc.), "hemlock" (Hos. 10:4; Amos 6:12), and "poison"
      (Job 20:16), "the poison of asps," showing that the _rosh_ was
      not exclusively a vegetable poison.
     
         (3.) In Rom. 3:13 (comp. Job 20:16; Ps. 140:3), James 3:8, as
      the rendering of the Greek ios.
