people, while the latter refers to the apostles named in Matthew 10:2-4,

sexual pleasure and children, but not being honored as a full partner in
marriage; a second-class wife. In Old Testament times (and in some places
now), it was the custom of middle-eastern kings, chiefs, and wealthy men
to mary multiple wives and concubines, but God commanded the Kings of
Israel not to do so (Deuteronomy 17:17) and Jesus encouraged people to
either remain single or marry as God originally intended: one man married

</p>
<h2>
<a name="crucify" id="crucify">crucify</a>
</h2>
<p>
Crucify means to execute someone by nailing them to a cross with metal
spikes. Their hands are stretched out on the crossbeam with spikes driven
through their wrists or hands. Their feet or ankles are attached to a
cross with a metal spike. The weight of the victim's body tends to force
the air out of his lungs. To raise up to breathe, the victim has to put
weight on the wounds, and use a lot of strength. The victim is nailed to
the cross while the cross is on the ground, then the cross is raised up
and dropped into a hole, thus jarring the wounds. Before crucifiction, the
victim was usually whipped with a Roman cat of nine tails, which had bits
of glass and metal tied to its ends. This caused chunks of flesh to be
removed and open wounds to be placed against the raw wood of the cross.
The victim was made to carry the heavy crossbeam of his cross from the
place of judgment to the place of crucifixion, but often was physically
unable after the scourging, so another person would be pressed into
involuntary service to carry the cross for him. Roman crucifixion was
generally done totally naked to maximize both shame and discomfort.
Eventually, the pain, weakness, dehydration, and exhaustion of the muscles
needed to breathe make breathing impossible, and the victim suffocates.
</p>
<h2>
<a name="cubit" id="cubit">cubit</a>
</h2>
<p>
A cubit is a unit of linear measure, from the elbow to the tip of the
longest finger of a man. This unit is commonly converted to 0.46 meters or
18 inches, although that varies with height of the man doing the
measurement. There is also a "long" cubit that is longer than a regular
cubit by a handbreadth. (Ezekiel 43:13)
</p>
<h2>
<a name="cummin" id="cummin">cummin</a>
</h2>
<p>
Cummin is an aromatic seed from Cuminum cyminum, resembling caraway in

<h2>

</h2>
<p>
Darnel is a weed grass (probably bearded darnel or Lolium temulentum) that
looks very much like wheat until it is mature, when the seeds reveal a
great difference. Darnel seeds aren't good for much except as chicken feed
or to burn to prevent the spread of this weed.
</p>
<h2>
<a name="denarii" id="denarii">denarii</a>
</h2>
<p>
denarii: plural form of denarius, a silver Roman coin worth about a days
wages for a laborer.
</p>
<h2>

agricultural laborer. A denarius was worth 1/25th of a Roman aureus.
</p>
<h2>
<a name="devil" id="devil">devil</a>
</h2>

to slander; a liar." "Devil" is used to refer to a fallen angel, also
called "Satan," who works to steal, kill, destroy, and do evil. The
devil's doom is certain, and it is only a matter of time before he is
thrown into the Lake of Fire, never to escape.

<h2>
<a name="Gehenna" id="Gehenna">Gehenna</a>
</h2>
<p>
Gehenna is one word used for Hell. It comes from the Hebrew Gey-Hinnom,
literally "valley of Hinnom." This word originated as the name for a place
south of the old city of Jerusalem where the city's rubbish was burned. At
one time, live babies were thrown crying into the fire under the arms of
the idol, Moloch, to die there. This place was so despised by the people
after the righteous King Josiah abolished this hideous practice that it
was made into a garbage heap. Bodies of diseased animals and executed
criminals were thrown there and burned.

</h2>
<p>
"Yah" is a shortened form of "Yahweh," which is God's proper name. This
form is used occasionally in the Old Testament, mostly in the Psalms. See
"Yahweh."
</p>
<h2>
<a name="Yahweh" id="Yahweh">Yahweh</a>
</h2>
<p>
"Yahweh" is God's proper name. In Hebrew, the four consonants roughly
equivalent to YHWH were considered too holy to pronounce, so the Hebrew
word for "Lord" (Adonai) was substituted when reading it aloud. When vowel
points were added to the Hebrew Old Testament, the vowel points for
"Adonai" were mixed with the consonants for "Yahweh," which if you
pronounced it literally as written, would be pronounced "Yehovah" or
"Jehovah." When the Old Testament was translated to Greek, the tradition
of substituting "Lord" for God's proper name continued in the translation
of God's name to "Lord" (Kurios). Some English Bibles translate God's
proper name to "LORD" or "GOD" (usually with small capital letters), based
on that same tradition. This can get really confusing, since two other
words ("Adonai" and "Elohim") translate to "Lord" and "God," and they are
sometimes used together. The ASV of 1901 (and some other translations)
render YHWH as "Jehovah." The most probable pronunciation of God's proper
name is "Yahweh." In Hebrew, the name "Yahweh" is related to the active
declaration "I AM." See Exodus 3:13-14. Since Hebrew has no tenses, the
declaration "I AM" also implies "I WAS" and "I WILL BE." Compare
Revelation 1:8.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.
Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.
Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or
http://promo.net/pg
These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.
http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext03 or
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03
Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90
Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
as it appears in our Newsletters.
Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated):
