   suit
  
      1. Ugly and uncomfortable "business clothing" often worn by
      non-hackers.   Invariably worn with a "tie", a strangulation
      device that partially cuts off the blood supply to the brain.
      It is thought that this explains much about the behaviour of
      suit-wearers.
  
      2. A person who habitually wears suits, as distinct from a
      techie or hacker.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sea, The
      (Heb. yam), signifies (1) "the gathering together of the
      waters," the ocean (Gen. 1:10); (2) a river, as the Nile (Isa.
      19:5), the Euphrates (Isa. 21:1; Jer. 51:36); (3) the Red Sea
      (Ex. 14:16, 27; 15:4, etc.); (4) the Mediterranean (Ex. 23:31;
      Num. 34:6, 7; Josh. 15:47; Ps. 80:11, etc.); (5) the "sea of
      Galilee," an inland fresh-water lake, and (6) the Dead Sea or
      "salt sea" (Gen. 14:3; Num. 34:3, 12, etc.). The word "sea" is
      used symbolically in Isa. 60:5, where it probably means the
      nations around the Mediterranean. In Dan. 7:3, Rev. 13:1 it may
      mean the tumultuous changes among the nations of the earth.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Seethe
      to boil (Ex. 16:23).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Seth
      appointed; a substitute, the third son of Adam and Eve (Gen.
      4:25; 5:3). His mother gave him this name, "for God," said she,
      "hath appointed me [i.e., compensated me with] another seed
      instead of Abel, whom Cain slew."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Shaddai
      the Omnipotent, the name of God in frequent use in the Hebrew
      Scriptures, generally translated "the Almighty."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Shadow
      used in Col. 2:17; Heb. 8:5; 10:1 to denote the typical relation
      of the Jewish to the Christian dispensation.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sheth
      tumult. (1.) "The children of Sheth" (Num. 24:17); R.V., "the
      sons of tumult," which is probably the correct rendering, as
      there is no evidence that this is a proper name here.
     
         (2.) The antediluvian patriarch (1 Chr. 1:1).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Shuhite
      a designation of Bildad (Job 2:11), probably because he was a
      descendant of Shuah.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   South
      Heb. Negeb, that arid district to the south of Palestine through
      which lay the caravan route from Central Palestine to Egypt
      (Gen. 12:9; 13:1, 3; 46:1-6). "The Negeb comprised a
      considerable but irregularly-shaped tract of country, its main
      portion stretching from the mountains and lowlands of Judah in
      the north to the mountains of Azazemeh in the south, and from
      the Dead Sea and southern Ghoron the east to the Mediterranean
      on the west." In Ezek. 20:46 (21:1 in Heb.) three different
      Hebrew words are all rendered "south." (1) "Set thy face toward
      the south" (Teman, the region on the right, 1 Sam. 33:24); (2)
      "Drop thy word toward the south" (Negeb, the region of dryness,
      Josh. 15:4); (3) "Prophesy against the forest of the south
      field" (Darom, the region of brightness, Deut. 33:23). In Job
      37:9 the word "south" is literally "chamber," used here in the
      sense of treasury (comp. 38:22; Ps. 135:7). This verse is
      rendered in the Revised Version "out of the chamber of the
      south."
