(2.) A near relation, a cousin (Gen. 13:8; 14:16; Matt. 12:46; John 7:3; Acts 1:14; Gal. 1:19).
(3.) Simply a fellow-countryman (Matt. 5:47; Acts 3:22; Heb. 7:5).
(4.) A disciple or follower (Matt. 25:40; Heb. 2:11, 12).
(5.) One of the same faith (Amos 1:9; Acts 9:30; 11:29; 1 Cor. 5:11); whence the early disciples of our Lord were known to each other as brethren.
(6.) A colleague in office (|Ezra 3:2; 1 Cor. 1:1; 2 Cor. 1:1).
(7.) A fellow-man (Gen. 9:5; 19:7; Matt. 5:22, 23, 24; 7:5; Heb. 2:17).
(8.) One beloved or closely united with another in affection (2 Sam. 1:26; Acts 6:3; 1 Thess. 5:1). Brethren of Jesus (Matt. 1:25; 12:46, 50: Mark 3:31, 32; Gal. 1:19; 1 Cor. 9:5, etc.) were probably the younger children of Joseph and Mary. Some have supposed that they may have been the children of Joseph by a former marriage, and others that they were the children of Mary, the Virgin's sister, and wife of Cleophas. The first interpretation, however, is the most natural.

Building : Among the Jews was suited to the climate and conditions of the country. They probably adopted the kind of architecture for their dwellings which they found already existing when they entered Canaan (Deut. 6:10; Num. 13:19). Phoenician artists (2 Sam. 5:11; 1 Kings 5:6, 18) assisted at the erection of the royal palace and the temple at Jerusalem. Foreigners also assisted at the restoration of the temple after the Exile (|Ezra 3:7).
In Gen. 11:3, 9, we have the first recorded instance of the erection of buildings. The cities of the plain of Shinar were founded by the descendants of Shem (10:11, 12, 22).
The Israelites were by occupation shepherds and dwellers in tents (Gen. 47:3); but from the time of their entering Canaan they became dwellers in towns, and in houses built of the native limestone of Palestine. Much building was carried on in Solomon's time. Besides the buildings he completed at Jerusalem, he also built Baalath and Tadmor (1 Kings 9:15, 24). Many of the kings of Israel and Judah were engaged in erecting various buildings.
Herod and his sons and successors restored the temple, and built fortifications and other structures of great magnificence in Jerusalem (Luke 21:5).
The instruments used in building are mentioned as the plumb-line (Amos 7:7), the measuring-reed (Ezek. 40:3), and the saw (1 Kings 7:9).
Believers are "God's building" (1 Cor. 3:9); and heaven is called "a building of God" (2 Cor. 5:1). Christ is the only foundation of his church (1 Cor. 3:10-12), of which he also is the builder (Matt. 16:18).

(2.) Ezek. 28:24, sallon', properly a "prickle," such as is found on the shoots of the palm tree.
(3.) Isa. 55:13, probably simply a thorny bush. Some, following the Vulgate Version, regard it as the "nettle."
(4.) Isa. 5:6; 7:23-25, etc., frequently used to denote thorny shrubs in general. In 10:17; 27:4, it means troublesome men.
(5.) In Heb. 6:8 the Greek word (tribolos) so rendered means "three-pronged," and denotes the land caltrop, a low throny shrub resembling in its spikes the military "crow-foot." Comp. Matt. 7:16, "thistle."

​LI Ch'ing 李清 (T. 心水, H. 映碧 and 天一居士), 1602–1683, historian, fifth generation descendant of Li Ch'un-fang 李春芳 (b. 1510, chin-shih of 1547), was a native of Hsing-hua, Kiangsu, and a chin-shih of 1631. Living in the Ming-Ch'ing transitional period, he remained to the last a loyal subject of the former dynasty. He served as a censor first in Peking (1638–40, 1642), and then in Nanking under the Prince of Fu (1644–45, see under Chu Yu-lang). After Nanking fell in 1645 he retired to his home, and for 38 years devoted himself to writing. In this period he was twice recommended to posts in the new régime, but each time declined on the pretext of ill health. One of his historical works 諸史同異錄 Chu-shih t'ung-i lu, also known under the title 二十一史同異 Êr-shih-i-shih t'ung-i, in 68 chüan, was a study of similarities and differences in the Twenty-one Dynastic Histories. It was singled out of the Ssŭ-k'u ch'üan-shu by Emperor Kao-tsung for complete destruction, in a special edict of 1787, on the ground that it made invidious comparisons between the reigns of the last Ming emperor and the first emperor of the Ch'ing. His longest work, 南北史合注 Nan-pei shih ho-chu, comprising comments on the official histories of the period 386–589 A.D., although banned in the eighteenth century is preserved in the Library of the Palace Museum. Among his shorter works may be mentioned the 三垣筆記 San-yüan pi-chi, consisting of historical notes covering the years 1637 to 1645 during which he served as censor in three Boards. It was reprinted in 1927 and also appears in the collective work 古學彙刊 Ku-hsüeh hui-k'an which was published in 1912–13.

​LI Ch'êng-tung 李成棟 (T. 廷貞), d. Apr. 7, 1649, Ming-Ch'ing general with an unenviable reputation for cruelty, was a native of Liaotung (some accounts say of Shensi). Formerly an officer under Shih K'o-fa [q. v.], when the Manchu general Bolo [q. v.] undertook the subjugation of the south, Li Chêng-tung was brigade general at Hsü-chou, Kiangsu. He surrendered with his command and collaborated in capturing the region around Shanghai for the Manchus, oppressing the populace which was loyal to the Ming and slaughtering the defenders of Chia-ting (see Huang Ch'un-yüeh). Later he campaigned in Fukien, and in 1646 became general-in-chief of Kwangtung. Feeling that his services were not adequately rewarded and, if the stories can be credited, encouraged by a favorite concubine, on May 2, 1648 he changed his allegiance again and was made Duke of Hui-kuo (惠國公) by the southern Ming. He induced the Ming emperor, Chu Yu-lang [q. v.], to move his court to Chao-ch'ing, Kwangtung, was promoted to generalissimo, and soon dominated the government. Later in the same year he led an army of 200,000 into Kiangsi, and on December 9–10 he was ingloriously defeated by Ch'ing troops at Kan-chou-fu. In a second encounter at Hsin-fêng on April 7, 1649 his strategy failed and he was drowned in the course of the rout that followed. He was canonized as Chung-wu 忠武 and was given the posthumous title, Prince of Ning-hsia 寧夏王. His adopted son, Li Yüan-yin (see under Chin Pao), a Honanese whose original surname was Chia 賈, was made an earl.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Fat

Edition of 1802.
​FAT, an unctuous, solid substance, deposited in little membranous cells, in various parts of animal bodies: it serves to defend the muscles and bones against cold, to temper the acids of aliments, and probably to the support of the whole frame.
The fat of several animals was formerly kept in the druggist's shops, as hog's-lard, the fat of deer, geese, and also human fat.—With respect to their real virtues, much depends on the manner in which they have been purified and preserved.
The method of preparing fat for medicinal purposes is, to remove all veins, skins, fibres, &c.; when it is to be washed, till the water ​comes from it perfectly insipid and colourless. After this preparation, the fat is to be melted by a gentle heat, with a small quantity of water, till the latter be evaporated; it is then to be strained off into an earthen vessel where it will settle, and be preserved from the air. When thus purified, fat is almost totally divested of taste, and smell.
With regard to the properties of fat, and marrow, when used as food, they produce a solid and nourishing juice, increase the blood and fluids in general; but are difficult to be dissolved, and apt to become rancid on the stomach of many persons, whose digestive powers are weak, and who are not accustomed to take much exercise. Hence, if fat be not duly assimilated to the fluids, it impairs the stomach and bowels, occasions diarrhœas, heart-burns, head-achs, and spasms, especially in those whose habits are easily irritated.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Fattening of Colours

Edition of 1802.
​FATTENING of Colours, is a term employed by painters, and signifies a coagulation of the oil, which is occasioned by mixing it with several kinds of pigments: hence, when it has been kept for a considerable time, it becomes so viscid and glutinous, as to be wholly incapable of being worked, either with the brush or pencil. In this state, a due proportion of fresh oil should be added.
Colours will also fatten, after they have been laid on the proper ground; so that one part of the oil will run off in small streams or drops, while the other adheres to the canvas with the colours, but without drying.—This defect, we conceive, may be remedied by evaporating the watery parts of the oil, and grinding the colours more carefully, so as to prevent their precipitation.
Oils will likewise fatten, when they have been too long kept, or exposed to the sun and air.

# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Feather

Edition of 1802.
​FEATHER, a general name, expressing the covering and wings of birds, by which they are enabled to fly.
The feathers chiefly used in this country, are those of geese, from which animals they are plucked three, four, and even five times in the course of one year: thus, in cold seasons, many of these birds fall victims to that barbarous custom.—The feathers obtained from the county of Somerset are esteemed to be the best, as those brought from Ireland are reputed to be the worst.
Great quantities of goose and other feathers are annually imported from the North of Europe; which, however, are insufficient for the demand: hence poulterers dispose of vast numbers of the feathers of cocks and hens, and also of ducks and turkies; all of which are much inferior to those of geese.
The best method of curing feathers is, to expose them to the sun in a room; and as soon as they are thoroughly dry, to put them loosely in bags, in which they should be well beaten, in order to cleanse them from all dust and filth.
Feathers are chiefly used for the stuffing of beds, which are certainly less wholesome than wool or horse-hair mattresses, and tend greatly to relax and enervate the human body. Within the last two or three years, they have been manufactured into hats; a mode of ​employing them, far preferable to that we have just mentioned.—See Plume.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Fasts, or Fasting

Edition of 1802.
​FASTS, or Fasting, denotes abstinence from food, particularly for religious reasons.
Fasting has been transmitted to us from the earliest ages, as a duty necessary to be performed at certain periods, in order to deprecate those calamities, with which the innate depravity of man is said to be justly punished.
Having already considered the effects of fasting, under the head of Abstinence, we shall only add, that it is particularly injurious to tender and debilitated habits, in the early part of the day; because the fluids of the human body, after circulating for several hours without any alimentary refreshment, at length acquire a putrid tendency, which is obvious from the strong alkaline breath of the most healthy person, after rising from his nocturnal couch. There are, however, instances of fanatics, who have subsisted for many days, and even weeks, without any sustenance; but, though such persons may occasionally survive these unnatural attempts, yet their health is, in consequence, miserably impaired.—Similar effects often arise from a total abstinence from animal food, whether on account of religious or other motives.—Thus, a late Professor in the University of Glasgow, shortened his life, by abandoning the use of flesh meat at an age exceeding 60 years; and, after living upon vegetable aliment about six months, he was reluctantly obliged to resort to his former mode of diet; but these changes had so unfavourably affected his constitution, that he died in a very short time after making the experiment.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Felt

Edition of 1802.
​FELT, a kind of stuff, which derives its consistence merely from being fulled or wrought with lees and size, without being either spun or woven. The mechanism of felting is equally simple and curious; though its theory is little understood, even by professional hatters.—As the surface of hair and wool is by no means smooth, but formed either of plates resembling the scales of fish, or of zones placed over each other, as we find in the structure of horns, it follows that hair or wool, when promiscuously entangled, cannot be easily disengaged, on account of its rough sides, which may be readily perceived, by drawing a hair between the fingers against the root-end. Thus, each inequality of surface accommodates itself to that of another hair, and forms at length a natural texture.
Felt is made either of wool alone, or of a mixture of that article with camel's or other hair, and is used principally in the manufacturing of Hats, to which we refer.
# Domestic Encyclopædia (1802)/Fen

Edition of 1802.
​FEN, a place overflowed with water, or abounding with bogs.—See Bog and Draining.
The most extensive fens in this island, are those of Lincolnshire, which afford considerable advantages to the inhabitants, who take large quantities of fish, and wild fowl; the latter are even sent to the London markets.
Fens generally abound with saline plants, which are very nourishing to cattle, and exceedingly fattening to sheep and horses. Oats will also thrive well in several fen districts; and, in prosperous seasons, yield abundant crops.
Coleseed is likewise cultivated to a very considerable extent on the fens, which indeed might be made more fertile, if the practice of paring and burning them, to the depth of an inch and a half, were more generally adopted.
Several acts of parliament have been passed for draining the fens, chiefly in the counties of Kent, Cambridge, and Lincoln; and by 2 Geo. II. c. 34 and 39, commissioners are appointed, for the effectually draining and preserving of fens in the isle of Ely; who are empowered to construct drains, dams, and other works; they are likewise authorized to make an assessment on the land-holders, whose lands, in default of payment, are liable to be sold.
Fen, the name of a very pernicious disorder, to which hops are subject. It consists of a kind of moss, or mould, which grows rapidly, and does considerable injury to the hop-grounds, unless it be eradicated immediately on its first appearance.

Dowry : (mohar; i.e., price paid for a wife, Gen. 34:12; Ex. 22:17; 1 Sam. 18:25), a nuptial present; some gift, as a sum of money, which the bridegroom offers to the father of his bride as a satisfaction before he can receive her. Jacob had no dowry to give for his wife, but he gave his services (Gen. 29:18; 30:20; 34:12).

Dragon:
(1.) Heb.@tannim, plural of tan. The name of some unknown creature inhabiting desert places and ruins (Job 30:29; Ps. 44:19; Isa. 13:22; 34:13; 43:20; Jer. 10:22; Micah 1:8; Mal. 1:3); probably, as translated in the Revised Version, the jackal (q.v.).
(2.) Heb.@tannin. Some great sea monster (Jer. 51:34). In Isa. 51:9 it may denote the crocodile. In Gen. 1:21 (Heb.@plural tanninim) the Authorized Version renders "whales," and the Revised Version "sea monsters." It is rendered "serpent" in Ex. 7:9. It is used figuratively in Ps. 74:13; Ezek. 29:3.
In the New Testament the word "dragon" is found only in Rev. 12:3, 4, 7, 9, 16, 17, etc., and is there used metaphorically of "Satan." (See WHALE.)
