F. poutre beam,       originally, a filly, and E. easel.] (Mach.)       A wheel with a broad rim, or grooved rim, for transmitting       power from, or imparting power to, the different parts of       machinery, or for changing the direction of motion, by means       of a belt, cord, rope, or chain.          Note: The pulley, as one of the mechanical powers, consists,                in its simplest form, of a grooved wheel, called a                sheave, turning within a movable frame or block, by                means of a cord or rope attached at one end to a fixed                point. The force, acting on the free end of the rope,                is thus doubled, but can move the load through only                half the space traversed by itself. The rope may also                pass over a sheave in another block that is fixed. The                end of the rope may be fastened to the movable block,                instead of a fixed point, with an additional gain of                power, and using either one or two sheaves in the fixed                block. Other sheaves may be added, and the power                multiplied accordingly. Such an apparatus is called by                workmen a block and tackle, or a fall and tackle. See                {Block}. A single fixed pulley gives no increase of                power, but serves simply for changing the direction of                motion.          {Band pulley}, [or] {Belt pulley}, a pulley with a broad face             for transmitting power between revolving shafts by means             of a belt, or for guiding a belt.          {Cone pulley}. See {Cone pulley}.          {Conical pulley}, one of a pair of belt pulleys, each in the             shape of a truncated cone, for varying velocities.          {Fast pulley}, a pulley firmly attached upon a shaft.          {Loose pulley}, a pulley loose on a shaft, to interrupt the             transmission of motion in machinery. See {Fast and loose             pulleys}, under {Fast}.          {Parting pulley}, a belt pulley made in semicircular halves,             which can be bolted together, to facilitate application             to, or removal from, a shaft.          {Pulley block}. Same as {Block}, n. 6.          {Pulley stile} (Arch.), the upright of the window frame into             which a pulley is fixed and along which the sash slides.                      {Split pulley}, a parting pulley.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Pulse \Pulse\, n. [OE. pous, OF. pous, F. pouls, fr. L. pulsus       (sc. venarum), the beating of the pulse, the pulse, from       pellere, pulsum, to beat, strike; cf. Gr. [?] to swing,       shake, [?] to shake. Cf. {Appeal}, {Compel}, {Impel},       {Push}.]       1. (Physiol.) The beating or throbbing of the heart or blood             vessels, especially of the arteries.          Note: In an artery the pulse is due to the expansion and                contraction of the elastic walls of the artery by the                action of the heart upon the column of blood in the                arterial system. On the commencement of the diastole of                the ventricle, the semilunar valves are closed, and the                aorta recoils by its elasticity so as to force part of                its contents into the vessels farther onwards. These,                in turn, as they already contain a certain quantity of                blood, expand, recover by an elastic recoil, and                transmit the movement with diminished intensity. Thus a                series of movements, gradually diminishing in                intensity, pass along the arterial system (see the Note                under {Heart}). For the sake of convenience, the radial                artery at the wrist is generally chosen to detect the                precise character of the pulse. The pulse rate varies                with age, position, sex, stature, physical and                psychical influences, etc.          2. Any measured or regular beat; any short, quick motion,             regularly repeated, as of a medium in the transmission of             light, sound, etc.; oscillation; vibration; pulsation;             impulse; beat; movement.                         The measured pulse of racing oars.      --Tennyson.                         When the ear receives any simple sound, it is struck                      by a single pulse of the air, which makes the                      eardrum and the other membranous parts vibrate                      according to the nature and species of the stroke.                                                                               --Burke.          {Pulse glass}, an instrument consisting to a glass tube with             terminal bulbs, and containing ether or alcohol, which the             heat of the hand causes to boil; -- so called from the             pulsating motion of the liquid when thus warmed.          {Pulse wave} (Physiol.), the wave of increased pressure             started by the ventricular systole, radiating from the             semilunar valves over the arterial system, and gradually             disappearing in the smaller branches.                         the pulse wave travels over the arterial system at                      the rate of about 29.5 feet in a second. --H. N.                                                                               Martin.          {To feel one's pulse}.             (a) To ascertain, by the sense of feeling, the condition                   of the arterial pulse.             (b) Hence, to sound one's opinion; to try to discover                   one's mind.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Palace       Used now only of royal dwellings, although originally meaning       simply (as the Latin word palatium, from which it is derived,       shows) a building surrounded by a fence or a paling. In the       Authorized Version there are many different words so rendered,       presenting different ideas, such as that of citadel or lofty       fortress or royal residence (Neh. 1:1; Dan. 8:2). It is the name       given to the temple fortress (Neh. 2:8) and to the temple itself       (1 Chr. 29:1). It denotes also a spacious building or a great       house (Dan. 1:4; 4:4, 29: Esther 1:5; 7:7), and a fortified       place or an enclosure (Ezek. 25:4). Solomon's palace is       described in 1 Kings 7:1-12 as a series of buildings rather than       a single great structure. Thirteen years were spent in their       erection. This palace stood on the eastern hill, adjoining the       temple on the south.                In the New Testament it designates the official residence of       Pilate or that of the high priest (Matt. 26:3, 58, 69; Mark       14:54, 66; John 18:15). In Phil. 1:13 this word is the rendering       of the Greek praitorion, meaning the praetorian cohorts at Rome       (the life-guard of the Caesars). Paul was continually chained to       a soldier of that corps (Acts 28:16), and hence his name and       sufferings became known in all the praetorium. The "soldiers       that kept" him would, on relieving one another on guard,       naturally spread the tidings regarding him among their comrades.       Some, however, regard the praetroium (q.v.) as the barrack       within the palace (the palatium) of the Caesars in Rome where a       detachment of these praetorian guards was stationed, or as the       camp of the guards placed outside the eastern walls of Rome.                "In the chambers which were occupied as guard-rooms," says Dr.       Manning, "by the praetorian troops on duty in the palace, a       number of rude caricatures are found roughly scratched upon the       walls, just such as may be seen upon barrack walls in every part       of the world. Amongst these is one of a human figure nailed upon       a cross. To add to the 'offence of the cross,' the crucified one       is represented with the head of an animal, probably that of an       ass. Before it stands the figure of a Roman legionary with one       hand upraised in the attitude of worship. Underneath is the       rude, misspelt, ungrammatical inscription, Alexamenos worships       his god. It can scarcely be doubted that we have here a       contemporary caricature, executed by one of the praetorian       guard, ridiculing the faith of a Christian comrade."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Palsy       a shorter form of "paralysis." Many persons thus afflicted were       cured by our Lord (Matt. 4:24; 8:5-13; 9:2-7; Mark 2:3-11; Luke       7:2-10; John 5:5-7) and the apostles (Acts 8:7; 9:33, 34).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Peleg       division, one of the sons of Eber; so called because "in his       days was the earth divided" (Gen. 10:25). Possibly he may have       lived at the time of the dispersion from Babel. But more       probably the reference is to the dispersion of the two races       which sprang from Eber, the one spreading towards Mesopotamia       and Syria, and the other southward into Arabia.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Plague       a "stroke" of affliction, or disease. Sent as a divine       chastisement (Num. 11:33; 14:37; 16:46-49; 2 Sam. 24:21).       Painful afflictions or diseases, (Lev. 13:3, 5, 30; 1 Kings       8:37), or severe calamity (Mark 5:29; Luke 7:21), or the       judgment of God, so called (Ex. 9:14). Plagues of Egypt were ten       in number.                (1.) The river Nile was turned into blood, and the fish died,       and the river stank, so that the Egyptians loathed to drink of       the river (Ex. 7:14-25).                (2.) The plague of frogs (Ex. 8:1-15).                (3.) The plague of lice (Heb. kinnim, properly gnats or       mosquitoes; comp. Ps. 78:45; 105:31), "out of the dust of the       land" (Ex. 8:16-19).                (4.) The plague of flies (Heb. arob, rendered by the LXX.       dog-fly), Ex. 8:21-24.                (5.) The murrain (Ex.9:1-7), or epidemic pestilence which       carried off vast numbers of cattle in the field. Warning was       given of its coming.                (6.) The sixth plague, of "boils and blains," like the third,       was sent without warning (Ex.9:8-12). It is called (Deut. 28:27)       "the botch of Egypt," A.V.; but in R.V., "the boil of Egypt."       "The magicians could not stand before Moses" because of it.                (7.) The plague of hail, with fire and thunder (Ex. 9:13-33).       Warning was given of its coming. (Comp. Ps. 18:13; 105:32, 33).                (8.) The plague of locusts, which covered the whole face of       the earth, so that the land was darkened with them (Ex.       10:12-15). The Hebrew name of this insect, _arbeh_, points to       the "multitudinous" character of this visitation. Warning was       given before this plague came.                (9.) After a short interval the plague of darkness succeeded       that of the locusts; and it came without any special warning       (Ex. 10:21-29). The darkness covered "all the land of Egypt" to       such an extent that "they saw not one another." It did not,       however, extend to the land of Goshen.                (10.) The last and most fearful of these plagues was the death       of the first-born of man and of beast (Ex. 11:4, 5; 12:29,30).       The exact time of the visitation was announced, "about       midnight", which would add to the horror of the infliction. Its       extent also is specified, from the first-born of the king to the       first-born of the humblest slave, and all the first-born of       beasts. But from this plague the Hebrews were completely       exempted. The Lord "put a difference" between them and the       Egyptians. (See {PASSOVER}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Plough       first referred to in Gen. 45:6, where the Authorized Version has       "earing," but the Revised Version "ploughing;" next in Ex. 34:21       and Deut. 21:4. The plough was originally drawn by oxen, but       sometimes also by asses and by men. (See {AGRICULTURE}.)
