2 10M/12/16. A B I B L E WO R D L I S T. T HIS list gives brief explanations of words in the Authorised Version describing unfamiliar objects, animals and plants, weights, measures and money, and words no longer in every- day use, or now used with a different meaning. If the English word is used in more than one sense, or stands for more than one Hebrew or Greek word, the list refers to passages where the word is used with each meaning. In most cases the list gives all the places where the word is found. An asterisk * means that the word is used in other passages with its normal mean- ing, or with one of the meanings given.
