Acid \Ac"id\, n.       1. A sour substance.          2. (Chem.) One of a class of compounds, generally but not             always distinguished by their sour taste, solubility in             water, and reddening of vegetable blue or violet colors.             They are also characterized by the power of destroying the             distinctive properties of alkalies or bases, combining             with them to form salts, at the same time losing their own             peculiar properties. They all contain hydrogen, united             with a more negative element or radical, either alone, or             more generally with oxygen, and take their names from this             negative element or radical. Those which contain no oxygen             are sometimes called {hydracids} in distinction from the             others which are called {oxygen acids} or {oxacids}.          Note: In certain cases, sulphur, selenium, or tellurium may                take the place of oxygen, and the corresponding                compounds are called respectively {sulphur acids} or                {sulphacids}, {selenium acids}, or {tellurium acids}.                When the hydrogen of an acid is replaced by a positive                element or radical, a salt is formed, and hence acids                are sometimes named as salts of hydrogen; as hydrogen                nitrate for nitric acid, hydrogen sulphate for                sulphuric acid, etc. In the old chemistry the name acid                was applied to the oxides of the negative or                nonmetallic elements, now sometimes called anhydrides.

A nonmetallic element occurring naturally in large             quantities, either combined as in the sulphides (as             pyrites) and sulphates (as gypsum), or native in volcanic             regions, in vast beds mixed with gypsum and various earthy             materials, from which it is melted out. Symbol S. Atomic             weight 32. The specific gravity of ordinary octohedral             sulphur is 2.05; of prismatic sulphur, 1.96.          Note: It is purified by distillation, and is obtained as a                lemon-yellow powder (by sublimation), called flour, or                flowers, of sulphur, or in cast sticks called roll                sulphur, or brimstone. It burns with a blue flame and a                peculiar suffocating odor. It is an ingredient of                gunpowder, is used on friction matches, and in medicine                (as a laxative and insecticide), but its chief use is                in the manufacture of sulphuric acid. Sulphur can be                obtained in two crystalline modifications, in                orthorhombic octahedra, or in monoclinic prisms, the                former of which is the more stable at ordinary                temperatures. Sulphur is the type, in its chemical                relations, of a group of elements, including selenium                and tellurium, called collectively the sulphur group,                or family. In many respects sulphur resembles oxygen.          2. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of yellow or orange             butterflies of the subfamily {Pierin[91]}; as, the clouded             sulphur ({Eurymus, [or] Colias, philodice}), which is the             common yellow butterfly of the Eastern United States.          {Amorphous sulphur} (Chem.), an elastic variety of sulphur of             a resinous appearance, obtained by pouring melted sulphur             into water.

It is employed chiefly in the production of             sulphuric acid, and as a reagent in bleaching; -- called             also {sulphurous anhydride}, and formerly {sulphurous             acid}.          {Sulphur ether} (Chem.), a sulphide of hydrocarbon radicals,             formed like the ordinary ethers, which are oxides, but             with sulphur in the place of oxygen.          {Sulphur salt} (Chem.), a salt of a sulphacid; a sulphosalt.                      {Sulphur showers}, showers of yellow pollen, resembling             sulphur in appearance, often carried from pine forests by             the wind to a great distance.          {Sulphur trioxide} (Chem.), a white crystalline solid, {SO3},             obtained by oxidation of sulphur dioxide. It dissolves in             water with a hissing noise and the production of heat,             forming sulphuric acid, and is employed as a dehydrating             agent.

Sulphur \Sul"phur\, n. [L., better sulfur: cf. F. soufre.]       1. (Chem.) A nonmetallic element occurring naturally in large             quantities, either combined as in the sulphides (as             pyrites) and sulphates (as gypsum), or native in volcanic             regions, in vast beds mixed with gypsum and various earthy             materials, from which it is melted out. Symbol S. Atomic             weight 32. The specific gravity of ordinary octohedral             sulphur is 2.05; of prismatic sulphur, 1.96.          Note: It is purified by distillation, and is obtained as a                lemon-yellow powder (by sublimation), called flour, or                flowers, of sulphur, or in cast sticks called roll                sulphur, or brimstone.

Absorbed by plants    from the soil as sulphate ion.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Silver       used for a great variety of purposes, as may be judged from the       frequent references to it in Scripture. It first appears in       commerce in Gen. 13:2; 23:15, 16. It was largely employed for       making vessels for the sanctuary in the wilderness (Ex. 26:19;       27:17; Num. 7:13, 19; 10:2). There is no record of its having       been found in Syria or Palestine. It was brought in large       quantities by foreign merchants from abroad, from Spain and       India and other countries probably.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Silverling       (Isa. 7:23). Literally the words are "at a thousand of silver",       i.e., "pieces of silver," or shekels.
