Wit primarily meant mind; and now                   denotes the power of seizing on some thought or                   occurrence, and, by a sudden turn, presenting it under                   aspects wholly new and unexpected -- apparently                   natural and admissible, if not perfectly just, and                   bearing on the subject, or the parties concerned, with                   a laughable keenness and force. [bd]What I want,[b8]                   said a pompous orator, aiming at his antagonist,                   [bd]is common sense.[b8] [bd]Exactly![b8] was the                   whispered reply. The pleasure we find in wit arises                   from the ingenuity of the turn, the sudden surprise it                   brings, and the patness of its application to the                   case, in the new and ludicrous relations thus flashed                   upon the view. Humor is a quality more congenial to                   the English mind than wit. It consists primarily in                   taking up the peculiarities of a humorist (or                   eccentric person) and drawing them out, as Addison did                   those of Sir Roger de Coverley, so that we enjoy a                   hearty, good-natured laugh at his unconscious                   manifestation of whims and oddities. From this                   original sense the term has been widened to embrace                   other sources of kindly mirth of the same general                   character. In a well-known caricature of English                   reserve, an Oxford student is represented as standing                   on the brink of a river, greatly agitated at the sight                   of a drowning man before him, and crying out, [bd]O                   that I had been introduced to this gentleman, that I                   might save his life! The, [bd]Silent Woman[b8] of Ben                   Jonson is one of the most humorous productions, in the                   original sense of the term, which we have in our                   language.

Acquaintance \Ac*quaint"ance\, n. [OE. aqueintance, OF.       acointance, fr. acointier. See {Acquaint}.]       1. A state of being acquainted, or of having intimate, or             more than slight or superficial, knowledge; personal             knowledge gained by intercourse short of that of             friendship or intimacy; as, I know the man; but have no             acquaintance with him.                         Contract no friendship, or even acquaintance, with a                      guileful man.                                    --Sir W.                                                                               Jones.          2. A person or persons with whom one is acquainted.                         Montgomery was an old acquaintance of Ferguson.                                                                               --Macaulay.          Note: In this sense the collective term acquaintance was                formerly both singular and plural, but it is now                commonly singular, and has the regular plural                acquaintances.          {To be of acquaintance}, to be intimate.          {To take acquaintance of} or {with}, to make the acquaintance             of. [Obs.]          Syn: Familiarity; intimacy; fellowship; knowledge.          Usage: {Acquaintance}, {Familiarity}, {Intimacy}. These words                   mark different degrees of closeness in social                   intercourse. Acquaintance arises from occasional                   intercourse; as, our acquaintance has been a brief                   one. We can speak of a slight or an intimate                   acquaintance. Familiarity is the result of continued                   acquaintance. It springs from persons being frequently                   together, so as to wear off all restraint and reserve;                   as, the familiarity of old companions. Intimacy is the                   result of close connection, and the freest interchange                   of thought; as, the intimacy of established                   friendship.                               Our admiration of a famous man lessens upon our                            nearer acquaintance with him.      --Addison.                               We contract at last such a familiarity with them                            as makes it difficult and irksome for us to call                            off our minds.                              --Atterbury.                               It is in our power to confine our friendships                            and intimacies to men of virtue.   --Rogers.

Acquaintance \Ac*quaint"ance\, n. [OE. aqueintance, OF.       acointance, fr. acointier. See {Acquaint}.]       1. A state of being acquainted, or of having intimate, or             more than slight or superficial, knowledge; personal             knowledge gained by intercourse short of that of             friendship or intimacy; as, I know the man; but have no             acquaintance with him.                         Contract no friendship, or even acquaintance, with a                      guileful man.                                    --Sir W.                                                                               Jones.          2. A person or persons with whom one is acquainted.                         Montgomery was an old acquaintance of Ferguson.                                                                               --Macaulay.          Note: In this sense the collective term acquaintance was                formerly both singular and plural, but it is now                commonly singular, and has the regular plural                acquaintances.          {To be of acquaintance}, to be intimate.          {To take acquaintance of} or {with}, to make the acquaintance             of. [Obs.]          Syn: Familiarity; intimacy; fellowship; knowledge.          Usage: {Acquaintance}, {Familiarity}, {Intimacy}. These words                   mark different degrees of closeness in social                   intercourse. Acquaintance arises from occasional                   intercourse; as, our acquaintance has been a brief                   one. We can speak of a slight or an intimate                   acquaintance. Familiarity is the result of continued                   acquaintance. It springs from persons being frequently                   together, so as to wear off all restraint and reserve;                   as, the familiarity of old companions. Intimacy is the                   result of close connection, and the freest interchange                   of thought; as, the intimacy of established                   friendship.                               Our admiration of a famous man lessens upon our                            nearer acquaintance with him.      --Addison.                               We contract at last such a familiarity with them                            as makes it difficult and irksome for us to call                            off our minds.                              --Atterbury.                               It is in our power to confine our friendships                            and intimacies to men of virtue.   --Rogers.

Acquaintance \Ac*quaint"ance\, n. [OE. aqueintance, OF.       acointance, fr. acointier. See {Acquaint}.]       1. A state of being acquainted, or of having intimate, or             more than slight or superficial, knowledge; personal             knowledge gained by intercourse short of that of             friendship or intimacy; as, I know the man; but have no             acquaintance with him.                         Contract no friendship, or even acquaintance, with a                      guileful man.                                    --Sir W.                                                                               Jones.          2. A person or persons with whom one is acquainted.                         Montgomery was an old acquaintance of Ferguson.                                                                               --Macaulay.          Note: In this sense the collective term acquaintance was                formerly both singular and plural, but it is now                commonly singular, and has the regular plural                acquaintances.          {To be of acquaintance}, to be intimate.          {To take acquaintance of} or {with}, to make the acquaintance             of. [Obs.]          Syn: Familiarity; intimacy; fellowship; knowledge.          Usage: {Acquaintance}, {Familiarity}, {Intimacy}. These words                   mark different degrees of closeness in social                   intercourse. Acquaintance arises from occasional                   intercourse; as, our acquaintance has been a brief                   one. We can speak of a slight or an intimate                   acquaintance. Familiarity is the result of continued                   acquaintance. It springs from persons being frequently                   together, so as to wear off all restraint and reserve;                   as, the familiarity of old companions. Intimacy is the                   result of close connection, and the freest interchange                   of thought; as, the intimacy of established                   friendship.                               Our admiration of a famous man lessens upon our                            nearer acquaintance with him.      --Addison.                               We contract at last such a familiarity with them                            as makes it difficult and irksome for us to call                            off our minds.                              --Atterbury.                               It is in our power to confine our friendships                            and intimacies to men of virtue.   --Rogers.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Wheat       one of the earliest cultivated grains. It bore the Hebrew name       _hittah_, and was extensively cultivated in Palestine. There are       various species of wheat. That which Pharaoh saw in his dream       was the Triticum compositum, which bears several ears upon one       stalk (Gen. 41:5). The "fat of the kidneys of wheat" (Deut.       32:14), and the "finest of the wheat" (Ps. 81:16; 147:14),       denote the best of the kind. It was exported from Palestine in       great quantities (1 Kings 5:11; Ezek. 27:17; Acts 12:20).                Parched grains of wheat were used for food in Palestine (Ruth       2:14; 1 Sam. 17:17; 2 Sam. 17:28). The disciples, under the       sanction of the Mosaic law (Deut. 23:25), plucked ears of corn,       and rubbing them in their hands, ate the grain unroasted (Matt.       12:1; Mark 2:23; Luke 6:1). Before any of the wheat-harvest,       however, could be eaten, the first-fruits had to be presented       before the Lord (Lev. 23:14).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
White       a symbol of purity (2 Chr. 5:12; Ps. 51:7; Isa. 1:18; Rev. 3:18;       7:14). Our Lord, at his transfiguration, appeared in raiment       "white as the light" (Matt. 17:2, etc.).
