IMPORTANT: Easton's Bible Dictionary is NOT exegetical, and can be counter to the scriptural or Hebrew and Greek definitions of words.
150 Years ago you couldn't be a Pastor anywhere in the world unless you were fluent in Hebrew..... Even in the so-called "Dark Ages" everyone had a local Priest who could speak, read and write in at least 2 languages, who taught out of a Latin Bible. How far have we fallen in word definitions! DO YOU BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD OR BELIEVE IN THE OPPOSITE? *******Recommended Materials for In-Depth Research of Scripture********* Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, Complete and Unabridged (Every pastor uses or recommends this for their congregation) It's the main tool every Christian should have in their library along with a good Lexicon to get full definitions. Beware, using just Strong's alone without a Lexicon will not give you full definitions of many words since it's not meant to do the function of a Lexicon. You will need some of the following books to render in-depth research beyond the scope of Strong's Concordance: (Most of which are included in several computer programs such as PC Study Bible and online at HERE for FREE ACCESS) 1. The New Englishman's Greek Concordance and Lexicon of the New Testament, by Wigram-Green *These two books by Wigram-Green are what Strong's concordance is based upon. Every word in the bible is listed by (the original Greek and Hebrew)Strongs# rather than by English translation. You cannot miss the bible's definition of a word with this tool. You can see how the original word is used every time throughout the bible. This research tool makes any user blow away most any pastor these days.* 2. The New Englishman's Hebrew Concordance of the Old Testament, by Wigram-Green 3. Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament by Thayers 4. Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament by Gesenius 5. Interlinear Greek and English by Berry 6. Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible 7. Vine's Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words Keyed to Strong's Reference Numbers You can also order the KJV "Hebrew Greek Key Study bible" which has built-in lexicons and Strong's numbering within the actual text of King James, or if you prefer you can also get it in New American Standard. (we reccomend King James Version) We know you can always use the bible as it's own lexicon and use the word to interpret the word, however, but these are shortcuts for all who are wise to make quick use of. Thank You for using our online searchable Strong's concordance and dictionary. You can get all these books at ANY Bible bookstore and most major bookstores. Or order from us right now click here The first keys are finding what the bible's definition of a word is in scripture, not in 21st Century word definitions or MAJORITY Religious Doctrines in the broad path which leadeth to destruction. These tools help you see how the original word is used through the entire text of scripture, thus render the BIBLE'S Definition of a word since we live by Every Word and not by bread alone.

Talitha Cumi (Mar 5:41), a Syriac or Aramaic expression, meaning, "Littlemaid, arise." Peter, who was present when the miracle was wrought, recalled the actual words used by our Lord, and told them to Mark.
Talmai Abounding in furrows. (1.) One of the Anakim of Hebron, who were slain by the men of Judah under Caleb (Num 13:22; Jos 15:14; Jdg 1:10). (2.) A king of Geshur, to whom Absalom fled after he had put Amnon to death (Sa2 3:3; Sa2 13:37). His daughter, Maachah, was one of David's wives, and the mother of Absalom (Ch1 3:2).
Talmon Oppressed. (1.) A Levite porter (Ch1 9:17; Neh 11:19). (2.) One whose descendants returned with Zerubbabel to Jerusalem (Ezr 2:42; Neh 7:45); probably the same as (1.).
Tamar Palm. (1.) A place mentioned by Ezekiel (Eze 47:19; Eze 48:28), on the southeastern border of Palestine. Some suppose this was "Tadmor" (q.v.). (2.) The daughter-in-law of Judah, to whose eldest son, Er, she was married (Gen 38:6). After her husband's death, she was married to Onan, his brother (Gen 38:8), and on his death, Judah promised to her that his third son, Shelah, would become her husband. This promise was not fulfilled, and hence Tamar's revenge and Judah's great guilt (Gen. 38:12-30). (3.) A daughter of David (2 Sam. 13:1-32; Ch1 3:9), whom Amnon shamefully outraged and afterwards "hated exceedingly," thereby illustrating the law of human nature noticed even by the heathen, "Proprium humani ingenii est odisse quem laeseris", i.e., "It is the property of human nature to hate one whom you have injured." (4.) A daughter of Absalom (Sa2 14:27).
Tamarisk Heb. 'eshel (Gen 21:33; Sa1 22:6; Sa1 31:13, in the R.V.; but in A.V., "grove," "tree"); Arab. asal . Seven species of this tree are found in Palestine. It is a "very graceful tree, with long feathery branches and tufts closely clad with the minuteness of leaves, and surmounted in spring with spikes of beautiful pink blossoms, which seem to envelop the whole tree in one gauzy sheet of colour" (Tristram's Nat. Hist.).
Tammuz A corruption of Dumuzi, the Accadian sun-god (the Adonis of the Greeks), the husband of the goddess Ishtar. In the Chaldean calendar there was a month set apart in honour of this god, the month of June to July, the beginning of the summer solstice. At this festival, which lasted six days, the worshippers, with loud lamentations, bewailed the funeral of the god, they sat "weeping for Tammuz" (Eze 8:14). The name, also borrowed from Chaldea, of one of the months of the Hebrew calendar.
Tanhumeth Consolation, a Netophathite; one of the captains who supported Gedaliah (Kg2 25:23; Jer 40:8).
Tanis (Eze 30:14, marg.). See ZOAN.
Tappuah Apple-region. (1.) A town in the valley or lowland of Judah; formerly a royal city of the Canaanites (Jos 12:17; Jos 15:34). It is now called Tuffuh, about 12 miles west of Jerusalem. (2.) A town on the border of Ephraim (Jos 16:8). The "land" of Tappuah fell to Manasseh, but the "city" to Ephraim (Jos 17:8). (3.) En-tappuah - The well of the apple probably one of the springs near Yassuf (Jos 17:7).
Tarah Stopping; station, an encampment of the Hebrews in the wilderness (Num 33:27, Num 33:28).
