(Far.) The act of resetting a horse's shoe. --Swift.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Remove \Re*move"\ (r?-m??v"), v. i.       To change place in any manner, or to make a change in place;       to move or go from one residence, position, or place to       another.                   Till Birnam wood remove to Dunsinane, I can not taint                with fear.                                             --Shak.          Note: The verb remove, in some of its application, is                synonymous with move, but not in all. Thus we do not                apply remove to a mere change of posture, without a                change of place or the seat of a thing. A man moves his                head when he turns it, or his finger when he bends it,                but he does not remove it. Remove usually or always                denotes a change of place in a body, but we never apply                it to a regular, continued course or motion. We never                say the wind or water, or a ship, removes at a certain                rate by the hour; but we say a ship was removed from                one place in a harbor to another. Move is a generic                term, including the sense of remove, which is more                generally applied to a change from one station or                permanent position, stand, or seat, to another station.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Rainbow       caused by the reflection and refraction of the rays of the sun       shining on falling rain. It was appointed as a witness of the       divine faithfulness (Gen. 9:12-17). It existed indeed before,       but it was then constituted as a sign of the covenant. Others,       however (as Delitzsch, Commentary on Pentateuch), think that it       "appeared then for the first time in the vault and clouds of       heaven." It is argued by those holding this opinion that the       atmosphere was differently constituted before the Flood. It is       referred to three other times in Scripture (Ezek. 1:27, 28; Rev.       4:1-3; 10:1).
