      Usage: {Scheme}, {Plan}. Scheme and plan are subordinate to

                  into effect. Scheme is the least definite of the two,
                  and lies more in speculation. A plan is drawn out into
                  details with a view to being carried into effect. As
                  schemes are speculative, they often prove visionary;
                  hence the opprobrious use of the words schemer and
                  scheming. Plans, being more practical, are more
                  frequently carried into effect.

      schwan, Icel. svanr, Sw. svan, Dan. svane; and perhaps to E.
      sound something audible.]
      1. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of large aquatic
            birds belonging to {Cygnus}, {Olor}, and allied genera of
            the subfamily {Cygnin[91]}. They have a large and strong
            beak and a long neck, and are noted for their graceful
            movements when swimming. Most of the northern species are
            white. In literature the swan was fabled to sing a
            melodious song, especially at the time of its death.
  
      Note: The European white, or mute, swan ({Cygnus gibbus}),
               which is most commonly domesticated, bends its neck in
               an S-shaped curve. The whistling, or trumpeting, swans
               of the genus {Olor} do not bend the neck in an S-shaped
               curve, and are noted for their loud and sonorous cry,
               due to complex convolutions of the windpipe. To this
               genus belong the European whooper, or whistling swan
               ({Olor cygnus}), the American whistling swan ({O.
               Columbianus}), and the trumpeter swan ({O.
               buccinator}). The Australian black swan ({Chenopis
               atrata}) is dull black with white on the wings, and has
               the bill carmine, crossed with a white band. It is a
               very graceful species and is often domesticated. The
               South American black-necked swan ({Sthenelides
               melancorypha}) is a very beautiful and graceful
               species, entirely white, except the head and neck,
               which are dark velvety seal-brown. Its bill has a
               double bright rose-colored knob.
  
      2. Fig.: An appellation for a sweet singer, or a poet noted

   Sun n.   Sun Microsystems.   Hackers remember that the name was
   originally an acronym, Stanford University Network.   Sun started out
   around 1980 with some hardware hackers (mainly) from Stanford
   talking to some software hackers (mainly) from UC Berkeley; Sun's
   original technology concept married a clever board design based on
   the Motorola 68000 to {BSD} Unix.   Sun went on to lead the
   worstation industry through the 1980s, and for years afterwards
   remained an engineering-driven company and a good place for hackers
   to work.   Though Sun drifted away from its techie origins after 1990
   and has since made some strategic moves that disappointed and
   annoyed many hackers (especially by maintaining proprietary control
   of Java and rejecting Linux), it's still considered within the
   family in much the same way {DEC} was in the 1970s and early 1980s.

      tribesmen, and representing that he was heartily sorry for his
      crime, and had hurried the first of all the house of Israel to
      offer homage to the king" (19:16-23). David forgave him; but on
      his death-bed he gave Solomon special instructions regarding
      Shimei, of whose fidelity he seems to have been in doubt (1
      Kings 2:8,9). He was put to death at the command of Solomon,

         (3.) One of David's mighty men who refused to acknowledge
      Adonijah as David's successor (1 Kings 1:8). He is probably the

      Arnon to the Jabbok, was possessed by the Amorites, whose king,
      Sihon, refused to permit the Israelites to pass through his
      territory, and put his army in array against them. The
      Israelites went forth against him to battle, and gained a
      complete victory. The Amorites were defeated; Sihon, his sons,
      and all his people were smitten with the sword, his walled towns
      were captured, and the entire country of the Amorites was taken
      possession of by the Israelites (Num. 21:21-30; Deut. 2:24-37).
     
         The country from the Jabbok to Hermon was at this time ruled
      by Og, the last of the Rephaim. He also tried to prevent the
      progress of the Israelites, but was utterly routed, and all his
      cities and territory fell into the hands of the Israelites
      (comp. Num. 21:33-35; Deut. 3:1-14; Ps. 135: 10-12; 136:17-22).
     
         These two victories gave the Israelites possession of the
      country on the east of Jordan, from the Arnon to the foot of
      Hermon. The kingdom of Sihon embraced about 1,500 square miles,
      while that of Og was more than 3,000 square miles.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sin
      is "any want of conformity unto or transgression of the law of
      God" (1 John 3:4; Rom. 4:15), in the inward state and habit of
      the soul, as well as in the outward conduct of the life, whether
      by omission or commission (Rom. 6:12-17; 7:5-24). It is "not a
      mere violation of the law of our constitution, nor of the system
      of things, but an offence against a personal lawgiver and moral
      governor who vindicates his law with penalties. The soul that
      sins is always conscious that his sin is (1) intrinsically vile
      and polluting, and (2) that it justly deserves punishment, and
      calls down the righteous wrath of God. Hence sin carries with it
      two inalienable characters, (1) ill-desert, guilt (reatus); and
      (2) pollution (macula).", Hodge's Outlines.
     
         The moral character of a man's actions is determined by the
      moral state of his heart. The disposition to sin, or the habit
      of the soul that leads to the sinful act, is itself also sin
      (Rom. 6:12-17; Gal. 5:17; James 1:14, 15).
     
         The origin of sin is a mystery, and must for ever remain such
      to us. It is plain that for some reason God has permitted sin to
      enter this world, and that is all we know. His permitting it,
      however, in no way makes God the author of sin.
     
         Adam's sin (Gen. 3:1-6) consisted in his yielding to the
      assaults of temptation and eating the forbidden fruit. It
      involved in it, (1) the sin of unbelief, virtually making God a
      liar; and (2) the guilt of disobedience to a positive command.
      By this sin he became an apostate from God, a rebel in arms
      against his Creator. He lost the favour of God and communion
      with him; his whole nature became depraved, and he incurred the
      penalty involved in the covenant of works.
     
         Original sin. "Our first parents being the root of all
      mankind, the guilt of their sin was imputed, and the same death
      in sin and corrupted nature were conveyed to all their
      posterity, descending from them by ordinary generation." Adam
      was constituted by God the federal head and representative of
      all his posterity, as he was also their natural head, and
      therefore when he fell they fell with him (Rom. 5:12-21; 1 Cor.
      15:22-45). His probation was their probation, and his fall their
      fall. Because of Adam's first sin all his posterity came into
      the world in a state of sin and condemnation, i.e., (1) a state
      of moral corruption, and (2) of guilt, as having judicially
      imputed to them the guilt of Adam's first sin.
     
         "Original sin" is frequently and properly used to denote only
      the moral corruption of their whole nature inherited by all men
      from Adam. This inherited moral corruption consists in, (1) the
      loss of original righteousness; and (2) the presence of a
      constant proneness to evil, which is the root and origin of all
      actual sin. It is called "sin" (Rom. 6:12, 14, 17; 7:5-17), the
      "flesh" (Gal. 5:17, 24), "lust" (James 1:14, 15), the "body of
      sin" (Rom. 6:6), "ignorance," "blindness of heart," "alienation
      from the life of God" (Eph. 4:18, 19). It influences and
      depraves the whole man, and its tendency is still downward to
      deeper and deeper corruption, there remaining no recuperative
      element in the soul. It is a total depravity, and it is also
      universally inherited by all the natural descendants of Adam
      (Rom. 3:10-23; 5:12-21; 8:7). Pelagians deny original sin, and
      regard man as by nature morally and spiritually well;
      semi-Pelagians regard him as morally sick; Augustinians, or, as
      they are also called, Calvinists, regard man as described above,
      spiritually dead (Eph. 2:1; 1 John 3:14).
     
         The doctrine of original sin is proved, (1.) From the fact of
      the universal sinfulness of men. "There is no man that sinneth
      not" (1 Kings 8:46; Isa. 53:6; Ps. 130:3; Rom. 3:19, 22, 23;
      Gal. 3:22). (2.) From the total depravity of man. All men are
      declared to be destitute of any principle of spiritual life;
      man's apostasy from God is total and complete (Job 15:14-16;
      Gen. 6:5,6). (3.) From its early manifestation (Ps. 58:3; Prov.
      22:15). (4.) It is proved also from the necessity, absolutely
      and universally, of regeneration (John 3:3; 2 Cor. 5:17). (5.)
      From the universality of death (Rom. 5:12-20).
     
         Various kinds of sin are mentioned, (1.) "Presumptuous sins,"
      or as literally rendered, "sins with an uplifted hand", i.e.,
      defiant acts of sin, in contrast with "errors" or
      "inadvertencies" (Ps. 19:13). (2.) "Secret", i.e., hidden sins
      (19:12); sins which escape the notice of the soul. (3.) "Sin
      against the Holy Ghost" (q.v.), or a "sin unto death" (Matt.
      12:31, 32; 1 John 5:16), which amounts to a wilful rejection of
      grace.
     
         Sin, a city in Egypt, called by the Greeks Pelusium, which
      means, as does also the Hebrew name, "clayey" or "muddy," so
      called from the abundance of clay found there. It is called by
      Ezekel (Ezek. 30:15) "the strength of Egypt, "thus denoting its
      importance as a fortified city. It has been identified with the
      modern Tineh, "a miry place," where its ruins are to be found.
      Of its boasted magnificence only four red granite columns
      remain, and some few fragments of others.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sinai
      of Sin (the moon god), called also Horeb, the name of the
      mountain district which was reached by the Hebrews in the third
      month after the Exodus. Here they remained encamped for about a
      whole year. Their journey from the Red Sea to this encampment,
      including all the windings of the route, was about 150 miles.
      The last twenty-two chapters of Exodus, together with the whole
      of Leviticus and Num. ch. 1-11, contain a record of all the
      transactions which occurred while they were here. From Rephidim
      (Ex. 17:8-13) the Israelites journeyed forward through the Wady
      Solaf and Wady esh-Sheikh into the plain of er-Rahah, "the
      desert of Sinai," about 2 miles long and half a mile broad, and
      encamped there "before the mountain." The part of the mountain
      range, a protruding lower bluff, known as the Ras Sasafeh
      (Sufsafeh), rises almost perpendicularly from this plain, and is
      in all probability the Sinai of history. Dean Stanley thus
      describes the scene:, "The plain itself is not broken and uneven
      and narrowly shut in, like almost all others in the range, but
      presents a long retiring sweep, within which the people could
      remove and stand afar off. The cliff, rising like a huge altar
      in front of the whole congregation, and visible against the sky
      in lonely grandeur from end to end of the whole plain, is the
      very image of the 'mount that might be touched,' and from which
      the voice of God might be heard far and wide over the plain
      below." This was the scene of the giving of the law. From the
      Ras Sufsafeh the law was proclaimed to the people encamped below
      in the plain of er-Rahah. During the lengthened period of their
      encampment here the Israelites passed through a very memorable
      experience. An immense change passed over them. They are now an
      organized nation, bound by covenant engagement to serve the Lord
      their God, their ever-present divine Leader and Protector. At
      length, in the second month of the second year of the Exodus,
      they move their camp and march forward according to a prescribed
      order. After three days they reach the "wilderness of Paran,"
      the "et-Tih", i.e., "the desert", and here they make their first
      encampment. At this time a spirit of discontent broke out
      amongst them, and the Lord manifested his displeasure by a fire
      which fell on the encampment and inflicted injury on them. Moses
      called the place Taberah (q.v.), Num. 11:1-3. The journey
      between Sinai and the southern boundary of the Promised Land
      (about 150 miles) at Kadesh was accomplished in about a year.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sion
      elevated. (1.) Denotes Mount Hermon in Deut. 4:48; called Sirion
      by the Sidonians, and by the Amorites Shenir (Deut. 3:9). (See {HERMON}.)
     
         (2.) The Greek form of Zion (q.v.) in Matt. 21:5; John 12:15.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Snow
      Common in Palestine in winter (Ps. 147:16). The snow on the tops
      of the Lebanon range is almost always within view throughout the
      whole year. The word is frequently used figuratively by the
      sacred writers (Job 24:19; Ps. 51:7; 68:14; Isa. 1:18). It is
      mentioned only once in the historical books (2 Sam. 23:20). It
      was "carried to Tyre, Sidon, and Damascus as a luxury, and
      labourers sweltering in the hot harvest-fields used it for the
      purpose of cooling the water which they drank (Prov. 25:13; Jer.
      18:14). No doubt Herod Antipas, at his feasts in Tiberias,
      enjoyed also from this very source the modern luxury of
      ice-water."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sun
      (Heb. shemesh), first mentioned along with the moon as the two
      great luminaries of heaven (Gen. 1:14-18). By their motions and
      influence they were intended to mark and divide times and
      seasons. The worship of the sun was one of the oldest forms of
      false religion (Job 31:26,27), and was common among the
      Egyptians and Chaldeans and other pagan nations. The Jews were
      warned against this form of idolatry (Deut. 4:19; 17:3; comp. 2
      Kings 23:11; Jer. 19:13).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Swan
      mentioned in the list of unclean birds (Lev. 11:18; Deut.
      14:16), is sometimes met with in the Jordan and the Sea of
      Galilee.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Swine
      (Heb. hazir), regarded as the most unclean and the most abhorred
      of all animals (Lev. 11:7; Isa. 65:4; 66:3, 17; Luke 15:15, 16).
      A herd of swine were drowned in the Sea of Galilee (Luke 8:32,
      33). Spoken of figuratively in Matt. 7:6 (see Prov. 11:22). It
      is frequently mentioned as a wild animal, and is evidently the
      wild boar (Arab. khanzir), which is common among the marshes of
      the Jordan valley (Ps. 80:13).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Syene
      opening (Ezek. 29:10; 30:6), a town of Egypt, on the borders of
      Ethiopia, now called Assouan, on the right bank of the Nile,
      notable for its quarries of beautiful red granite called
      "syenite." It was the frontier town of Egypt in the south, as
      Migdol was in the north-east.
