Light \Light\ (l[imac]t), n. [OE. light, liht, AS. le[a2]ht;       akin to OS. lioht, D. & G. licht, OHG. lioht, Goth.       liuha[thorn], Icel. lj[omac]s, L. lux light, lucere to shine,       Gr. leyko`s white, Skr. ruc to shine. [root]122. Cf. {Lucid},       {Lunar}, {Luminous}, {Lynx}.]       1. That agent, force, or action in nature by the operation of             which upon the organs of sight, objects are rendered             visible or luminous.          Note: Light was regarded formerly as consisting of material                particles, or corpuscules, sent off in all directions                from luminous bodies, and traversing space, in right                lines, with the known velocity of about 186,300 miles                per second; but it is now generally understood to                consist, not in any actual transmission of particles or                substance, but in the propagation of vibrations or                undulations in a subtile, elastic medium, or ether,                assumed to pervade all space, and to be thus set in                vibratory motion by the action of luminous bodies, as                the atmosphere is by sonorous bodies. This view of the                nature of light is known as the undulatory or wave                theory; the other, advocated by Newton (but long since                abandoned), as the corpuscular, emission, or Newtonian                theory. A more recent theory makes light to consist in                electrical oscillations, and is known as the                electro-magnetic theory of light.          2.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Thistle       (1.) Heb. hoah (2 Kings 14:9; Job 31:40). In Job 41:2 the Hebrew       word is rendered "thorn," but in the Revised Version "hook." It       is also rendered "thorn" in 2 Chr. 33:11; Prov. 26:9; Cant. 2:2;       "brambles" in Isa. 34:13. It is supposed to be a variety of the       wild plum-tree, but by some it is regarded as the common       thistle, of which there are many varieties in Palestine.                (2.) Heb. dardar, meaning "a plant growing luxuriantly" (Gen.       3:18; Hos. 10:8); Gr. tribolos, "a triple point" (Matt. 7:16;       Heb. 6:8, "brier," R.V. "thistle"). This was probably the       star-thistle, called by botanists Centaurea calcitropa, or       "caltrops," a weed common in corn-fields. (See {THORNS}.)
