The ever-increasing interest in biblical research and inquiry has also increased the demand for Bible dictionaries and encyclopedias, especially for those that deal with the etymol ogy of proper names in the Scriptures. It may be affirmed and easily proven, that scrip tural names were not arbitrarily chosen but selected with the idea of defining the relation of the bearer to God and for the purpose of expressing some important general truth.

This feature was por trayed in the actions, conditions, and f unctions of men pos sessing names indicating natures either allied to or separated from the Divine.
