Swan \Swan\, n. [AS. swan; akin to D. zwaan, OHG. swan, G.       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             for grace and melody; as Shakespeare is called the swan of             Avon.          3. (Astron.) The constellation Cygnus.          {Swan goose} (Zo[94]l.), a bird of India ({Cygnopsis             cygnoides}) resembling both the swan and the goose.          {Swan shot}, a large size of shot used in fowling.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sea, The molten       the great laver made by Solomon for the use of the priests in       the temple, described in 1 Kings 7:23-26; 2 Chr. 4:2-5. It stood       in the south-eastern corner of the inner court. It was 5 cubits       high, 10 in diameter from brim to brim, and 30 in circumference.       It was placed on the backs of twelve oxen, standing with their       faces outward. It was capable of containing two or three       thousand baths of water (comp. 2 Chr. 4:5), which was originally       supplied by the Gibeonites, but was afterwards brought by a       conduit from the pools of Bethlehem. It was made of "brass"       (copper), which Solomon had taken from the captured cities of       Hadarezer, the king of Zobah (1 Chr. 18:8). Ahaz afterwards       removed this laver from the oxen, and placed it on a stone       pavement (2 Kings 16:17). It was destroyed by the Chaldeans       (25:13).
