Bible Dictionary Example

An excerpt from a one-volume Bible dictionary, The New Unger’s Bible Dictionary (page 210):

CAPITAL. In modern architecture, the upper, ornamental part of a column. Once (2 Chron. 3:15) the Heb. sepet, “to encircle,” is so rendered; elesewhere (1 Kings 7:16-20; Jer. 52:22) the term is the rendering of the Heb. koteret, and referes to the capitals of the Temple pillars.

CAPPADO’CIA (kap-a-do’shi-a). A province in the eastern part of Asia Minor whose boundaries were changed several times by the Roman emperors. In NT history it comprised Lesser Armenia. On the Day of Pentecost it was represented at Jerusalem (Acts 2:9), and Peter refers to it (1 Pet. 1:1), hence its interest for the Bible reader.

CAPSTONE. See Cornerstone.
