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.

Zephathah A valley in the west of Judah, near Mareshah; the scene of Asa's conflict with Zerah the Ethiopian (Ch2 14:9). Identified with the Wady Safieh.
Zerah Sunrise. (1.) An "Ethiopian," probably Osorkon II., the successor of Shishak on the throne of Egypt. With an enormous army, the largest we read of in Scripture, he invaded the kingdom of Judah in the days of Asa (Ch2 14:9). He reached Zephathah, and there encountered the army of Asa. This is the only instance "in all the annals of Judah of a victorious encounter in the field with a first-class heathen power in full force." The Egyptian host was utterly routed, and the Hebrews gathered "exceeding much spoil." Three hundred years elapsed before another Egyptian army, that of Necho (609 B.C.), came up against Jerusalem. (2.) A son of Tamar (Gen 38:30); called also Zara (Mat 1:3). (3.) A Gershonite Levite (Ch1 6:21, Ch1 6:41).
Zered =Zared, luxuriance; willow bush, a brook or valley communicating with the Dead Sea near its southern extremity (Num 21:12; Deu 2:14). It is called the "brook of the willows" (Isa 15:7) and the "river of the wilderness" (Amo 6:14). It has been identified with the Wady el-Aksy.
Zereda The fortress, a city on the north of Mount Ephraim; the birthplace of Jeroboam (Kg1 11:26). It is probably the same as Zaretan (Jos 3:16), Zererath (Jdg 7:22), Zartanah (Kg1 4:12), or the following.
Zeredathah A place in the plain of Jordan; the same as Zarthan (Ch2 4:17; Kg1 7:46). Here Solomon erected the foundries in which Hiram made the great castings of bronze for the temple.
Zererath (Jdg 7:22), perhaps identical with Zereda or Zeredathah. Some identify it with Zahrah, a place about 3 miles west of Beth-shean.
Zeresh Star of Venus, the wife of Haman, whom she instigated to prepare a gallows for Mordecai (Est 5:10).
Zeruah Stricken, mother of Jeroboam, the first king of the ten tribes (Kg1 11:26).
Zerubbabel The seed of Babylon, the son of Salathiel or Shealtiel (Hag 1:1; Zorobabel, Mat 1:12); called also the son of Pedaiah (Ch1 3:17), i.e., according to a frequent usage of the word "son;" the grandson or the nephew of Salathiel. He is also known by the Persian name of Sheshbazzar (Ezr 1:8, Ezr 1:11). In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, he led the first band of Jews, numbering 42,360 (Ezr 2:64), exclusive of a large number of servants, who returned from captivity at the close of the seventy years. In the second year after the Return, he erected an altar and laid the foundation of the temple on the ruins of that which had been destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar (Ezr 3:8; Ezra 4 - 6). All through the work he occupied a prominent place, inasmuch as he was a descendant of the royal line of David.
Zeruiah Stricken of the Lord, David's sister, and the mother of Abishai, Joab, and Asahel (Ch1 2:16), who were the three leading heroes of David's army, and being his nephews, they were admitted to the closest companionship with him.
