Inverse \In*verse"\, a. [L. inversus, p. p. of invertere: cf. F.       inverse. See {Invert}.]       1. Opposite in order, relation, or effect; reversed;             inverted; reciprocal; -- opposed to {direct}.          2. (Bot.) Inverted; having a position or mode of attachment             the reverse of that which is usual.          3. (Math.) Opposite in nature and effect; -- said with             reference to any two operations, which, when both are             performed in succession upon any quantity, reproduce that             quantity; as, multiplication is the inverse operation to             division. The symbol of an inverse operation is the symbol             of the direct operation with -1 as an index. Thus sin-1 x             means the arc whose sine is x.          {Inverse figures} (Geom.), two figures, such that each point             of either figure is inverse to a corresponding point in             the order figure.          {Inverse points} (Geom.), two points lying on a line drawn             from the center of a fixed circle or sphere, and so             related that the product of their distances from the             center of the circle or sphere is equal to the square of             the radius.          {Inverse}, [or] {Reciprocal}, {ratio} (Math.), the ratio of             the reciprocals of two quantities.          {Inverse}, [or] {Reciprocal, {proportion}, an equality             between a direct ratio and a reciprocal ratio; thus, 4 : 2             : : [frac13] : [frac16], or 4 : 2 : : 3 : 6, inversely.

Ratio \Ra"ti*o\, n. [L., fr. reri, ratus, to reckon, believe,       think, judge. See {Reason}.]       1. (Math.) The relation which one quantity or magnitude has             to another of the same kind. It is expressed by the             quotient of the division of the first by the second; thus,             the ratio of 3 to 6 is expressed by [frac36] or [frac12];             of a to b by a/b; or (less commonly) the second is made             the dividend; as, a:b = b/a.          Note: Some writers consider ratio as the quotient itself,                making ratio equivalent to a number. The term ratio is                also sometimes applied to the difference of two                quantities as well as to their quotient, in which case                the former is called arithmetical ratio, the latter,                geometrical ratio. The name ratio is sometimes given to                the rule of three in arithmetic. See under {Rule}.          2. Hence, fixed relation of number, quantity, or degree;             rate; proportion; as, the ratio of representation in             Congress.          {Compound ratio}, {Duplicate ratio}, {Inverse ratio}, etc.             See under {Compound}, {Duplicate}, etc.          {Ratio of a geometrical progression}, the constant quantity             by which each term is multiplied to produce the succeeding             one.

Duplicate \Du"pli*cate\, a. [L. duplicatus, p. p. of duplicare       to double, fr. duplex double, twofold. See {Duplex}.]       Double; twofold.          {Duplicate proportion} [or] {ratio} (Math.), the proportion             or ratio of squares. Thus, in geometrical proportion, the             first term to the third is said to be in a duplicate ratio             of the first to the second, or as its square is to the             square of the second. Thus, in 2, 4, 8, 16, the ratio of 2             to 8 is a duplicate of that of 2 to 4, or as the square of             2 is to the square of 4.

Ride originally meant (and is so used                   throughout the English Bible) to be carried on                   horseback or in a vehicle of any kind. At present in                   England, drive is the word applied in most cases to                   progress in a carriage; as, a drive around the park,                   etc.; while ride is appropriated to progress on a                   horse. Johnson seems to sanction this distinction by                   giving [bd]to travel on horseback[b8] as the leading                   sense of ride; though he adds [bd]to travel in a                   vehicle[b8] as a secondary sense. This latter use of                   the word still occurs to some extent; as, the queen                   rides to Parliament in her coach of state; to ride in                   an omnibus.                               [bd]Will you ride over or drive?[b8] said Lord                            Willowby to his quest, after breakfast that                            morning.                                       --W.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Reed       (1.) "Paper reeds" (Isa. 19:7; R.V., "reeds"). Heb. 'aroth,       properly green herbage growing in marshy places.                (2.) Heb. kaneh (1 Kings 14:15; Job 40:21; Isa. 19:6), whence       the Gr. kanna, a "cane," a generic name for a reed of any kind.                The reed of Egypt and Palestine is the Arundo donax, which       grows to the height of 12 feet, its stalk jointed like the       bamboo, "with a magnificent panicle of blossom at the top, and       so slender and yielding that it will lie perfectly flat under a       gust of wind, and immediately resume its upright position." It       is used to illustrate weakness (2 Kings 18:21; Ezek. 29:6), also       fickleness or instability (Matt. 11:7; comp. Eph. 4:14).                A "bruised reed" (Isa. 42:3; Matt. 12:20) is an emblem of a       believer weak in grace. A reed was put into our Lord's hands in       derision (Matt. 27:29); and "they took the reed and smote him on       the head" (30). The "reed" on which they put the sponge filled       with vinegar (Matt. 27:48) was, according to John (19:29), a       hyssop stalk, which must have been of some length, or perhaps a       bunch of hyssop twigs fastened to a rod with the sponge. (See {CANE}.)

Road       (1 Sam. 27:10; R.V., "raid"), an inroad, an incursion. This word       is never used in Scripture in the sense of a way or path.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ruth       a friend, a Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, whose father,       Elimelech, had settled in the land of Moab. On the death of       Elimelech and Mahlon, Naomi came with Ruth, her daughter-in-law,       who refused to leave her, to Bethlehem, the old home from which       Elimelech had migrated. There she had a rich relative, Boaz, to       whom Ruth was eventually married. She became the mother of Obed,       the grandfather of David. Thus Ruth, a Gentile, is among the       maternal progenitors of our Lord (Matt. 1:5). The story of "the       gleaner Ruth illustrates the friendly relations between the good       Boaz and his reapers, the Jewish land system, the method of       transferring property from one person to another, the working of       the Mosaic law for the relief of distressed and ruined families;       but, above all, handing down the unselfishness, the brave love,       the unshaken trustfulness of her who, though not of the chosen       race, was, like the Canaanitess Tamar (Gen. 38:29; Matt. 1:3)       and the Canaanitess Rahab (Matt. 1:5), privileged to become the       ancestress of David, and so of 'great David's greater Son'"       (Ruth 4:18-22).
