Sign \Sign\, n. [F. signe, L. signum; cf. AS. segen, segn, a       sign, standard, banner, also fr. L. signum. Cf. {Ensign},       {Resign}, {Seal} a stamp, {Signal}, {Signet}.]       That by which anything is made known or represented; that       which furnishes evidence; a mark; a token; an indication; a       proof. Specifically:       (a) A remarkable event, considered by the ancients as             indicating the will of some deity; a prodigy; an omen.       (b) An event considered by the Jews as indicating the divine             will, or as manifesting an interposition of the divine             power for some special end; a miracle; a wonder.                         Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of                      the Spirit of God.                           --Rom. xv. 19.                         It shall come to pass, if they will not believe                      thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first                      sign, that they will believe the voice of the                      latter sign.                                    --Ex. iv. 8.       (c) Something serving to indicate the existence, or preserve             the memory, of a thing; a token; a memorial; a monument.                         What time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty                      men, and they became a sign.            --Num. xxvi.                                                                               10.       (d) Any symbol or emblem which prefigures, typifles, or             represents, an idea; a type; hence, sometimes, a picture.                         The holy symbols, or signs, are not barely                      significative; but what they represent is as                      certainly delivered to us as the symbols                      themselves.                                       --Brerewood.                         Saint George of Merry England, the sign of victory.                                                                               --Spenser.       (e) A word or a character regarded as the outward             manifestation of thought; as, words are the sign of             ideas.       (f) A motion, an action, or a gesture by which a thought is             expressed, or a command or a wish made known.                         They made signs to his father, how he would have                      him called.                                       --Luke i. 62.       (g) Hence, one of the gestures of pantomime, or of a language             of a signs such as those used by the North American             Indians, or those used by the deaf and dumb.          Note: Educaters of the deaf distinguish between natural                signs, which serve for communicating ideas, and                methodical, or systematic, signs, adapted for the                dictation, or the rendering, of written language, word                by word; and thus the signs are to be distinguished                from the manual alphabet, by which words are spelled on                the fingers.       (h) A military emblem carried on a banner or a standard.             --Milton.       (i) A lettered board, or other conspicuous notice, placed             upon or before a building, room, shop, or office to             advertise the business there transacted, or the name of             the person or firm carrying it on; a publicly displayed             token or notice.                         The shops were, therefore, distinguished by painted                      signs, which gave a gay and grotesque aspect to the                      streets.                                          --Macaulay.       (j) (Astron.) The twelfth part of the ecliptic or zodiac.          Note: The signs are reckoned from the point of intersection                of the ecliptic and equator at the vernal equinox, and                are named, respectively, {Aries} ([Aries]), {Taurus}                ([Taurus]), {Gemini} (II), {Cancer} ([Cancer]), {Leo}                ([Leo]), {Virgo} ([Virgo]), {Libra} ([Libra]),                {Scorpio} ([Scorpio]), {Sagittarius} ([Sagittarius]),                {Capricornus   ([Capricorn]), {Aquarius} ([Aquarius]),                {Pisces} ([Pisces]). These names were originally the                names of the constellations occupying severally the                divisions of the zodiac, by which they are still                retained; but, in consequence of the procession of the                equinoxes, the signs have, in process of time, become                separated about 30 degrees from these constellations,                and each of the latter now lies in the sign next in                advance, or to the east of the one which bears its                name, as the constellation Aries in the sign Taurus,                etc.       (k) (Alg.) A character indicating the relation of quantities,             or an operation performed upon them; as, the sign +             (plus); the sign -- (minus); the sign of division [f6],             and the like.       (l) (Med.) An objective evidence of disease; that is, one             appreciable by some one other than the patient.          Note: The terms symptom and and sign are often used                synonymously; but they may be discriminated. A sign                differs from a symptom in that the latter is perceived                only by the patient himself. The term sign is often                further restricted to the purely local evidences of                disease afforded by direct examination of the organs                involved, as distinguished from those evidence of                general disturbance afforded by observation of the                temperature, pulse, etc. In this sense it is often                called physical sign.       (m) (Mus.) Any character, as a flat, sharp, dot, etc.       (n) (Theol.) That which, being external, stands for, or             signifies, something internal or spiritual; -- a term             used in the Church of England in speaking of an ordinance             considered with reference to that which it represents.                         An outward and visible sign of an inward and                      spiritual grace.                              --Bk. of                                                                               Common Prayer.          Note: See the Table of {Arbitrary Signs}, p. 1924.          {Sign manual}.       (a) (Eng. Law) The royal signature superscribed at the top of             bills of grants and letter patent, which are then sealed             with the privy signet or great seal, as the case may be,             to complete their validity.       (b) The signature of one's name in one's own handwriting.             --Craig. Tomlins. Wharton.          Syn: Token; mark; note; symptom; indication; signal; symbol;                type; omen; prognostic; presage; manifestation. See                {Emblem}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Pasach       clearing, one of the sons of Japhlet, of the tribe of Asher (1       Chr. 7:33).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Passage       denotes in Josh. 22:11, as is generally understood, the place       where the children of Israel passed over Jordan. The words "the       passage of" are, however, more correctly rendered "by the side       of," or "at the other side of," thus designating the position of       the great altar erected by the eastern tribes on their return       home. This word also designates the fords of the Jordan to the       south of the Sea of Galilee (Judg. 12:5, 6), and a pass or rocky       defile (1 Sam. 13:23; 14:4). "Passages" in Jer. 22:20 is in the       Revised Version more correctly "Abarim" (q.v.), a proper name.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Peacock       (Heb. tuk, apparently borrowed from the Tamil tokei). This bird       is indigenous to India. It was brought to Solomon by his ships       from Tarshish (1 Kings 10:22; 2 Chr. 9:21), which in this case       was probably a district on the Malabar coast of India, or in       Ceylon. The word so rendered in Job 39:13 literally means wild,       tumultuous crying, and properly denotes the female ostrich       (q.v.).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Pieces       (1) of silver. In Ps. 68:30 denotes "fragments," and not       properly money. In 1 Sam. 2:36 (Heb. agorah), properly a "small       sum" as wages, weighed rather than coined. Josh. 24:32 (Heb.       kesitah, q.v.), supposed by some to have been a piece of money       bearing the figure of a lamb, but rather simply a certain       amount. (Comp. Gen. 33:19).                (2.) The word pieces is omitted in many passages, as Gen.       20:16; 37:28; 45:22, etc. The passage in Zech. 11:12, 13 is       quoted in the Gospel (Matt. 26:15), and from this we know that       the word to be supplied is "shekels." In all these omissions we       may thus warrantably supply this word.                (3.) The "piece of money" mentioned in Matt. 17:27 is a       stater=a Hebrew shekel, or four Greek drachmae; and that in Luke       15:8, 9, Act 19:19, a Greek drachma=a denarius. (See {PENNY}.)
