Another bible timeline fact –>BOND an obligation of any kind (Numbers 30:2, 4, 12). The word means
also oppression or affliction (Psalm 116:16; Phil. 1:7). Christian love is the
?bond of perfectness? (Colossians 3:14), and the influences of the Spirit
are the ?bond of peace? (Ephesians 4:3).
Another Bible Timeline fact –>BONDAGE of Israel in Egypt (Exodus 2:23, 25; 5), which is called the
?house of bondage? (13:3; 20:2). This word is used also with reference to
the captivity in Babylon (Isaiah 14:3), and the oppression of the Persian
king (Ezra 9:8, 9).
Another Bible Timeline fact –>BONNET (Hebrews peer), Exodus 39:28 (R.V., ?head-tires?); Ezekiel
44:18 (R.V., ?tires?), denotes properly a turban worn by priests, and in
Isaiah 3:20 (R.V., ?head-tires?) a head-dress or tiara worn by females. The
Hebrew word so rendered literally means an ornament, as in Isaiah 61:10
(R.V., ?garland?), and in Ezekiel 24:17, 23 ?tire? (R.V., ?head-tire?). It
consisted of a piece of cloth twisted about the head. In Exodus 28:40; 29:9
it is the translation of a different Hebrew word (migba?ah), which denotes
the turban (R.V., ?head-tire?) of the common priest as distinguished from
the mitre of the high priest. (See MITRE.)
Another Bible Timeline fact –>BOOK This word has a comprehensive meaning in Scripture. In the Old
Testament it is the rendering of the Hebrew word sepher, which properly
means a ?writing,? and then a ?volume? (Exodus 17:14; Deuteronomy
28:58; 29:20; Job 19:23) or ?roll of a book? (Jeremiah 36:2, 4).
Books were originally written on skins, on linen or cotton cloth, and on
Egyptian papyrus, whence our word ?paper.? The leaves of the book were
generally written in columns, designated by a Hebrew word properly
meaning ?doors? and ?valves? (Jeremiah 36:23, R.V., marg. ?columns?).
Among the Hebrews books were generally rolled up like our maps, or if
very long they were rolled from both ends, forming two rolls (Luke
4:17-20). Thus they were arranged
