Leviathan, lē-vī′-ă-thăn. Psa. 74:14¹⁴Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. (Psalm 74:14); Job 41:1¹Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? (Job 41:1). Heb. Livyâthân; Gk. δράκων; Zool. S. Crocodilus vulgaris. R.V. marg. “crocodile.” The word occurs five times, and every case but one (Psa. 104:26²⁶There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. (Psalm 104:26)) denotes the crocodile; there it denotes the whale. In Job 3:8⁸Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. (Job 3:8), “their mourning” in A.V., but “leviathan” in R.V. and A.V. marg. probably refers to the “dragon.”

Levites, lē′-vītes; descendants of Levi. Ex. 6:25; 32:26²⁵And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families. (Exodus 6:25)
²⁶Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. (Exodus 32:26).

redivided by Ezra, Ezra 6:18¹⁸And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses. (Ezra 6:18).

their sin censured. Mal. 1:2²I have loved you, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob, (Malachi 1:2); Ezek. 22:26²⁶Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. (Ezekiel 22:26).

Levitical, lē-vĭt′-ĭ-căl; belonging to Levi. Heb. 7:11¹¹If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? (Hebrews 7:11).

Leviticus, lē-vĭt′-ĭ-cŭs; the third book of the Pentateuch, which treats of the regulations of the Levitical law.

Lewd. (1) ignorant, vile, worthless. Acts 17:5⁵But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. (Acts 17:5).

Lewdness, wickedness. Acts 18:14¹⁴And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you: (Acts 18:14).

Liars. Psa. 116:11¹¹I said in my haste, All men are liars. (Psalm 116:11); John 8:44⁴⁴Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44); Rev. 2:2²I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: (Revelation 2:2).

their doom. Rev. 21:8,27; 22:15⁸But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8)
²⁷And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. (Revelation 21:27)

Joseph’s brethren, Gen. 37:31-32³¹And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; ³²And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no. (Genesis 37:31‑32).

Gibeonites, Josh. 9:9⁹And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the Lord thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt, (Joshua 9:9).

David, 1 Sam. 21:2²And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place. (1 Samuel 21:2).

Prophet of Beth-el, 1 Kings 13:18¹⁸He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. (1 Kings 13:18).

Gehazi, 2 Kings 5:22²²And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments. (2 Kings 5:22).

(Deuteronomy 15:14); Prov. 11:25²⁵The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. (Proverbs 11:25); Isa. 32:8⁸But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand. (Isaiah 32:8); 2 Cor. 9:13¹³Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; (2 Corinthians 9:13).

of the Israelites. Ex. 35:21²¹And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lord's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments. (Exodus 35:21); Num. 7:21²¹One young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering: (Numbers 7:21).

of the early Christians. Acts 2:45; 4:34⁴⁵And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. (Acts 2:45)

(Acts 6:9)) may have been founded by some of the 30,000 Jews whom Pompey took as slaves to Rome in B.C. 63; but perhaps the right reading there is Libyatines, in which case they would, like the Cyrenians in the same verse, be Jews of N. Africa.

Liberty. Lev. 25:10¹⁰And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

not to be misused. 1 Cor. 8:9⁹But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. (1 Corinthians 8:9); Gal. 5:13¹³For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. (Galatians 5:13); 1 Peter 2:16¹⁶As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

R.V. marg. “sand-flies or fleas.” Parasitic insects abound in the East, and through the summer the Mohammedan men keep their heads shorn to avoid them.

Lien; = lain (p.p. of “lie”). Gen. 26:10¹⁰And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. (Genesis 26:10).
