Dict: easton - Bow

easton:

Bow @ The bow was in use in early times both in war and in the chase kjv@Genesis:21:20 kjv@Genesis:27:3 kjv@Genesis:48:22 ). The tribe of Benjamin were famous for the use of the bow ( kjv@1Chronicles:8:40 kjv@1Chronicles:12:2; kjv@2Chronicals:14:8 kjv@2Chronicals:17:17); so also were the Elamites kjv@Isaiah:22:6) and the Lydians kjv@Jeremiah:46:9). The Hebrew word commonly used for bow means properly to tread ( kjv@1Chronicles:5:18 kjv@1Chronicles:8:40), and hence it is concluded that the foot was employed in bending the bow. Bows of steel (correctly "copper") are mentioned ( kjv@2Samuel:22:35; kjv@Psalms:18:34). The arrows were carried in a quiver kjv@Genesis:27:3; kjv@Isaiah:22:6 kjv@Isaiah:49:2; kjv@Psalms:127:5). They were apparently sometimes shot with some burning material attached to them kjv@Psalms:120:4). The bow is a symbol of victory kjv@Psalms:7:12). It denotes also falsehood, deceit kjv@Psalms:64:3-4; kjv@Hosea:7:16; kjv@Jeremiah:9:3). "The use of the bow" in kjv@2Samuel:1:18 (A.V.) ought to be "the song of the bow," as in the Revised Version.

Bowels @ kjv@Philippians:1:8 kjv@Philippians:2:1; kjv@Colossians:3:12), compassionate feelings; R.V., "tender mercies."

Bowing @ a mode of showing respect. Abraham "bowed himself to the people of the land" kjv@Genesis:23:7); so Jacob to Esau kjv@Genesis:33:3); and the brethren of Joseph before him as the governor of the land kjv@Genesis:43:28). Bowing is also frequently mentioned as an act of adoration to idols kjv@Joshua:23:7; kjv@2Kings:5:18; kjv@Judges:2:19; kjv@Isaiah:44:15), and to God kjv@Joshua:5:14; kjv@Psalms:22:29 kjv@Psalms:72:9; kjv@Micah:6:6; kjv@Psalms:95:6; kjv@Ephesians:3:14).

Bowl @ The sockets of the lamps of the golden candlestick of the tabernacle are called bowls kjv@Exodus:25:31-33, 34; 37:17-19, 20); the same word so rendered being elsewhere rendered "cup" kjv@Genesis:44:2 kjv@Genesis:44:12, 16), and wine "pot" kjv@Jeremiah:35:5). The reservoir for oil, from which pipes led to each lamp in Zechariah's vision of the candlestick, is called also by this name kjv@Zechariah:4:2-3); so also are the vessels used for libations kjv@Exodus:25:29 kjv@Exodus:37:16).
