Only he and his descendants were to serve as priests and offer sacrifices for the people of Israel (see Exodus 4.14-16; 28.1; Numbers 16.1—18.7). Abel—The second son of Adam and Eve and the younger brother of Cain. Abel was killed by Cain after God accepted Abel’s offering and refused to accept Cain’s (see Genesis 4.1-11). Abraham or Abram—The first of the three great ancestors of the people of Israel. Abraham was the husband of Sarah and the father of Isaac. At first Abraham’s name was Abram, meaning “Great Father.” Then, when Abram was ninetynine years old, God changed Abram’s name to Abraham, which means “Father of a Many People.” Abraham trusted God, and so God promised that Abraham and his wife Sarah would have a son and more descendants than could be counted. God also promised that Abraham would be a blessing to everyone on earth (see Genesis 12.1-7; 17.1— 18.15). A.D.—Anno Domini. Latin for “In the year of the Lord.” Used to date events that happened after Christ’s birth. “a.d.” is often used before the number of the year. The numbering system now in use was developed about a.d. 525. The plan was that the year of Christ’s birth would be a.d. 1, and then the years would be numbered before and after. But an error was made in assigning a.d. 1, and by the time the error was discovered, the numbering system could not be changed. And so, the correct year of Christ’s birth according to the numbering system is probably 6 b.c. See also “b.c.” Adam—The first man and the husband of Eve (see Genesis 1.26—3.21). aloes—A sweet-smelling spice that was mixed with myrrh and used as a perfume.
Resources for the Reader altar—A raised structure where sacrifices and offerings were presented to God or to pagan gods. Altars could be made of rocks, packed earth, metal, or pottery. See Genesis 8.20; 13.18; 33.20. Amen—A Hebrew word used after a prayer or a blessing and meaning that what had been said was right and true. Andrew—One of Jesus’ twelve closest disciples (called “apostles”) and the brother of Simon Peter. See “apostle.” angel—A supernatural being who tells God’s messages to people or protects those who belong to God. See Genesis 16.7-12; Numbers 22.22-35; Luke 1.11-28. See the article on p. 7. Antipas—(1) Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great (see “Herod”). (2) An otherwise unknown Christian at Pergamum, who was killed because he was a follower of Christ (see Revelation 2.13). apostle—A person chosen and sent by Christ to take his message to others. Lists of the names of Christ’s twelve apostles can be found in Matthew 10.2-4; Mark 3.16-19; Luke 6.14-16; Acts 1.12,13. Later, others such as Paul and James the brother of Jesus also became known as apostles. Aramaic—A language closely related to Hebrew. In New Testament times Aramaic was spoken by many Jews including Jesus. Parts of Ezra and Daniel were written in Aramaic (see Ezra 4.8—6.18; 7.12-26; Daniel 2.4b—7.28). Asher—(1) Jacob’s eighth son, and his second by Leah’s servant Zilpah. (2) One of the twelve tribes of Israel. When the Israelites left Egypt, the tribe of Asher occupied land along the Mediterranean coast from Mount Carmel to the border with the city of Tyre (see Joshua 19.24-31). Asia—A Roman province in what is today the nation of Turkey. Assyria—An empire of Old Testament times, whose capital city Nineveh was located in what is today northern Iraq. In 722 b.c. Assyria conquered the kingdom of Israel and took many Israelites as captives. The Assyrians then forced people from other parts of its empire to settle on Israel’s land (see 2 Kings 18.9-12). 128 129 Word List Augustus—A title meaning “honored,” which was given to Octavian by the Romans when he began ruling the Roman world in 27 b.c. He was the Roman Emperor when Jesus was born (Luke 2.1). Babylonia—A large empire of Old Testament times, whose capital city Babylon was located in what is today Iraq. The Babylonians defeated the southern kingdom of Judah in 586 b.c. and forced many of its people to live in Babylonia (see 2 Kings 25.1-12). baptize—A word that means “to dip in water.” Baptizing people with water symbolized the old way of life being washed away. John the Baptist preached about baptism as a sign of turning back to God and having one’s sins forgiven (see Luke 3.3). See the article on p. 17. Bartholomew—One of Jesus’ twelve closest disciples (called “apostles”). He is mentioned in all New Testament lists of the apostles, but nowhere else. See “apostle.” B.C.—Before Christ. Used to date events that happened before Christ’s birth. “b.c.” is used after the number of the year. For more about dates, see “a.d.” Cain—The first son of Adam and Eve; Cain killed his brother Abel after God accepted Abel’s offering and refused to accept Cain’s (see Genesis 4.1-17). Canaan—The area now covered by Israel plus Gaza, the West Bank of Jordan, Lebanon, and southern Syria (see Numbers 34.1-12). Many passages use the term to refer only to the area south of Lebanon. Canaanites—The nations who lived in Canaan before the Israelites. Many Canaanites continued to live there even after the Israelites occupied the land. cedar—A tall tree once common in the Lebanon mountains and used for many of the royal building projects in Jerusalem. Cephas—See “Peter.” chariot—A two-wheeled cart that was open at the back and was pulled by horses. It was the ancient equivalent of an armored vehicle and was often the symbol of royalty or riches (see Exodus 14.7; 2 Kings 2.11).
