Bul @ rainy, the eighth ecclesiastical month of the year (kjvKings:6:38), and the second month of the civil year; later called Marchesvan (q.v.). (
See MONTH.)

Bullock @

(1.) The translation of a word which is a generic name for horned cattle kjv@Isaiah:65:25). It is also rendered "cow" kjv@Ezekiel:4:15), "ox" kjv@Genesis:12:16).

(2.) The translation of a word always meaning an animal of the ox kind, without distinction of age or sex kjv@Hosea:12:11). It is rendered "cow" kjv@Numbers:18:17) and "ox" kjv@Leviticus:17:3).

(3.) Another word is rendered in the same way kjv@Jeremiah:31:18). It is also translated "calf" kjv@Leviticus:9:3; kjv@Micah:6:6). It is the same word used of the "molten calf" kjv@Exodus:32:4 kjv@Exodus:32:8) and "the golden calf" (kjvKings:12:28).

(4.) In kjv@Judges:6:25; kjv@Isaiah:34:7, the Hebrew word is different. It is the customary word for bulls offered in sacrifice. In kjv@Hosea:14:2, the Authorized Version has "calves," the Revised Version "bullocks."

Bulrush @

(1.) In kjv@Isaiah:58:5 the rendering of a word which denotes "belonging to a marsh," from the nature of the soil in which it grows kjv@Isaiah:18:2). It was sometimes platted into ropes kjv@Job:41:2; A.V., "hook," R.V., "rope," lit. "cord of rushes").

(2.) In kjv@Exodus:2:3, kjv@Isaiah:18:2 (R.V., "papyrus") this word is the translation of the Hebrew gome, which designates the plant as absorbing moisture. In kjv@Isaiah:35:7 and kjv@Job:8:11 it is rendered "rush." This was the Egyptian papyrus (papyrus Nilotica). It was anciently very abundant in Egypt. The Egyptians made garments and shoes and various utensils of it. It was used for the construction of the ark of Moses kjv@Exodus:2:3-5). The root portions of the stem were used for food. The inside bark was cut into strips, which were sewed together and dried in the sun, forming the papyrus used for writing. It is no longer found in Egypt, but grows luxuriantly in Palestine, in the marshes of the Huleh, and in the swamps at the north end of the Lake of Gennesaret. (

Bulwarks @ mural towers, bastions, were introduced by king Uzziah ( kjv@2Chronicals:26:15; kjv@Zephaniah:1:16; kjv@Psalms:48:13; kjv@Isaiah:26:1). There are five Hebrew words so rendered in the Authorized Version, but the same word is also variously rendered.
