From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Be \Be\, v. i. [imp. {Was}; p. p. {Been}; p. pr. & vb. n.
      {Being}.] [OE. been, beon, AS. be[a2]n to be, be[a2]m I am;
      akin to OHG. bim, pim, G. bin, I am, Gael. & Ir. bu was, W.
      bod to be, Lith. bu-ti, O. Slav. by-ti, to be, L. fu-i I have
      been, fu-turus about to be, fo-re to be about to be, and perh
      to fieri to become, Gr. [?] to be born, to be, Skr. bh[?] to
      be. This verb is defective, and the parts lacking are
      supplied by verbs from other roots, is, was, which have no
      radical connection with be. The various forms, am, are, is,
      was, were, etc., are considered grammatically as parts of the
      verb [bd]to be[b8], which, with its conjugational forms, is
      often called the substantive verb. [?]97. Cf. {Future},
      {Physic}.]
      1. To exist actually, or in the world of fact; to have
            ex[?]stence.
  
                     To be contents his natural desire.      --Pope.
  
                     To be, or not to be: that is the question. --Shak.
  
      2. To exist in a certain manner or relation, -- whether as a
            reality or as a product of thought; to exist as the
            subject of a certain predicate, that is, as having a
            certain attribute, or as belonging to a certain sort, or
            as identical with what is specified, -- a word or words
            for the predicate being annexed; as, to be happy; to be
            here; to be large, or strong; to be an animal; to be a
            hero; to be a nonentity; three and two are five;
            annihilation is the cessation of existence; that is the
            man.
  
      3. To take place; to happen; as, the meeting was on Thursday.
  
      4. To signify; to represent or symbolize; to answer to.
  
                     The field is the world.                     --Matt. xiii.
                                                                              38.
  
                     The seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the
                     seven churches.                                 --Rev. i. 20.
  
      Note: The verb to be (including the forms is, was, etc.) is
               used in forming the passive voice of other verbs; as,
               John has been struck by James. It is also used with the
               past participle of many intransitive verbs to express a
               state of the subject. But have is now more commonly
               used as the auxiliary, though expressing a different
               sense; as, [bd]Ye have come too late -- but ye are
               come. [b8] [bd]The minstrel boy to the war is gone.[b8]
               The present and imperfect tenses form, with the
               infinitive, a particular future tense, which expresses
               necessity, duty, or purpose; as, government is to be
               supported; we are to pay our just debts; the deed is to
               be signed to-morrow.
  
      Note: Have or had been, followed by to, implies movement.
               [bd]I have been to Paris.[b8] --Sydney Smith. [bd]Have
               you been to Franchard ?[b8] --R. L. Stevenson.
  
      Note: Been, or ben, was anciently the plural of the
               indicative present. [bd]Ye ben light of the world.[b8]
               --Wyclif, Matt. v. 14. Afterwards be was used, as in
               our Bible: [bd]They that be with us are more than they
               that be with them.[b8] --2 Kings vi. 16. Ben was also
               the old infinitive: [bd]To ben of such power.[b8] --R.
               of Gloucester. Be is used as a form of the present
               subjunctive: [bd]But if it be a question of words and
               names.[b8] --Acts xviii. 15. But the indicative forms,
               is and are, with if, are more commonly used.
  
      {Be it so}, a phrase of supposition, equivalent to suppose it
            to be so; or of permission, signifying let it be so.
            --Shak.
  
      {If so be}, in case.
  
      {To be from}, to have come from; as, from what place are you
            ? I am from Chicago.
  
      {To let be}, to omit, or leave untouched; to let alone.
            [bd]Let be, therefore, my vengeance to dissuade.[b8]
            --Spenser.
  
      Syn: {To be}, {Exist}.
  
      Usage: The verb to be, except in a few rare case, like that
                  of Shakespeare's [bd]To be, or not to be[b8], is used
                  simply as a copula, to connect a subject with its
                  predicate; as, man is mortal; the soul is immortal.
                  The verb to exist is never properly used as a mere
                  copula, but points to things that stand forth, or have
                  a substantive being; as, when the soul is freed from
                  all corporeal alliance, then it truly exists. It is
                  not, therefore, properly synonymous with to be when
                  used as a copula, though occasionally made so by some
                  writers for the sake of variety; as in the phrase
                  [bd]there exists [is] no reason for laying new
                  taxes.[b8] We may, indeed, say, [bd]a friendship has
                  long existed between them,[b8] instead of saying,
                  [bd]there has long been a friendship between them;[b8]
                  but in this case, exist is not a mere copula. It is
                  used in its appropriate sense to mark the friendship
                  as having been long in existence.
