From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sapphire       Associated with diamonds (Ex. 28:18) and emeralds (Ezek. 28:13);       one of the stones in the high priest's breastplate. It is a       precious stone of a sky-blue colour, probably the lapis lazuli,       brought from Babylon. The throne of God is described as of the       colour of a sapphire (Ex. 24:10; comp. Ezek. 1:26).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Saviour       one who saves from any form or degree of evil. In its highest       sense the word indicates the relation sustained by our Lord to       his redeemed ones, he is their Saviour. The great message of the       gospel is about salvation and the Saviour. It is the "gospel of       salvation." Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ secures to the sinner       a personal interest in the work of redemption. Salvation is       redemption made effectual to the individual by the power of the       Holy Spirit.

Sparrow       Mentioned among the offerings made by the very poor. Two       sparrows were sold for a farthing (Matt. 10:29), and five for       two farthings (Luke 12:6). The Hebrew word thus rendered is       _tsippor_, which properly denotes the whole family of small       birds which feed on grain (Lev. 14:4; Ps. 84:3; 102:7). The       Greek word of the New Testament is _strouthion_ (Matt.       10:29-31), which is thus correctly rendered.
