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 everyday 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 meaning,
or with one of the meanings given. This is not a complete list of unfamiliar or archaic words.
We would recommend that the reader use a good English language dictionary to aid in understanding words which this list does not define. The names of the Books of the Bible with their
abbreviations are listed at the end of this booklet.

READING THE BIBLE
A Concise Course whereby one can
read through the whole Bible once in two years,
the Psalms and the New Testament twice.
These [Bereans] were more noble than those in Thessalonica,
in that they received the word with all readiness of mind,
and searched the scriptures daily,
whether those things were so.
Acts 17.11
All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
that the man of God may be perfect,
throughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy 3.16–17

All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
that the man of God may be perfect,
throughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy 3.16–17
T
hese [Bereans] were more noble than those in
Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all
readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures
daily, whether those things were so.
Acts 17.11
