Eerat. 'take courage,* 'fear not,* etc. Thus, Sir 101° ' If tluiu ost heard a won!, let it die u-ith thee ; and he bold (().>p<ri,), It will not burst thee' ; Mt \i'^ ' He of (food cheer' ifittpffurt). 'The only compound of these verbs in NT is tLvortktAMm, Ho lOw only, ' Isaiab is very bold,' lit. ' is bold by himself.'
But there is a nobler boldness in the NT than these. In the Gr. it is expressed by irapp-qirla (lit. ' fulness ' or ' freedom of speech,' irai> !>fiijit) and irappTjffidfo^uu ; and although these words are used by cla.ssical authors and the LXX, this b. reacliea a higher manifestation under the Gospel, which is its very foundation.

Jesus our Lord, in whom we have b. and access ' ; He 10" ' Having therefore, brethren, b. to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus ' ; 1 Jn 4" ' that we may have b. in the day of judgment' ; He 4" ' Let us therefore come boldly (KV ' draw near with b.') unto the throne of grace.' For the most part it is boldness of speech, out its founda- tion IS the same : Jn 7* 'He speaketh boldly ' (RV ' openly') ; Ac 4" ' they were all tilled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with b. ; IS'" ' Paul and Barnabas waxed bold (RV 'spake out boldly") and said'; 1 Th 2^ 'we were bold (RV ' waxed bold ') in our God to speak onto you the Gospel of God.' See Courage.
J. Hastings. BOLLED.— Ex 9" 'the barley was in the ear, and the flax was boiled ' (RVm ' was in bloom ' ; Heb. Si'33 gibh'61, lit. ' was bud,' i.e. was in bud). The Eng. word boll (originally something swollen) is a seed vessel, a pod ; hence ' was boUed ' ( = ' was in seed ') expresses a farther stage of growth than the Heb. warrants. J. Hastings.
BOLSTER (aomething ' swollen,' cf. ' boUed ') is new used of the longer and firmer cushion under the pillows, but was formerly often syn. with pUlow. It occurs in AV of 1 S 19>»- '• 26'- "• "■ ", where RV always ' head ' ; thus 1 S 19" ' Michal . . . put a pillow of goats' hair for his b.' (RV ' at the head thereof '). The same Heb. (nrf<-iD) is tr"* ' pUlows • Gn 28"- ", and in 1 K 19" [aU] ' head,' marg. 'bolster'; RV always 'head.' (For the peciuiar reading Sik^* 'oy^^s 1 S 26"^, Budde gives vjiirx"!;? in agreement witn other passages and the LXiX here.) J. HASTINGS.
BOND.— See Band. 1. Ln the foil, passages the Gr. word tr"* ' bond ' is SouXot, ' slave,' 1 Co 12", Gal S=», Eph 6\ Col 3" (RV 'bondman'). Rev 13" 19>«. a. There is a fig. use of b. in Ac 8^, Eph 4», Col 3" where the Gr. is avvSiJuos, a surgical word (though not confined to surgery) meaning 'a ligament'; hence Col 3'* ' love, which is the b. of perfectness ' means that love unites aU the virtues and graces into one perfect man in Christ Jesus, just as the ligaments bind the body ; in Eph 4* ' the b. of peace,' peace is itself the ligament or uniting power ; Ac 8^ ' thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the b. of iniquity ' is not so clear, and it has sometimes been said that Simon is described as ' a bunrlle of iniquity,' but that meaning of a. lacks support (see Thayer, a.v.); rather, "thou art bound by the ligatures or fettirs of iniquity.' The Gr. word a. is also found Col 2" (where see Light- foot), RV ' all the body, bein" supplied and knit to- gether tlirough the jomts and bands.'
Bondmaid, a female slave, Lv 19" (nijE?-) ; 25**-" (nrx, tr"* ' maid ' in v.') ; Gal 4" (vaiSlaK-n, tr. ' bondwoman ' i'^- »• •»• ", all of Hagar, RV ' hand- maid ' ; T. is used also of the maid who recognised Peter, Mt 26«», Mk 14««- «», Lk 22«, Jn IS" [see Damskl], of Rhoda, Ac 12", and of the PhUippian fortune-teller, 16"). Bondman and Bondwoman = sla'2, are frequent. Bondservant occurs in AV only once, Lv 25" ; but where tlie Gr. is SoCXos, slave, R\ often turns ' servant ' of AV into ' bondservant' (in favour of 'slave' see Horwill, Contemp. Rev. May 1S96, p. 707). Bondservice, 1 K 9=' 'upon those did Solomon le\'y a tribute of b. (131', RV ' raise a levy of bondservants'). Bondslave, 1 Mac 2" (5o6\ti, not in NT, but freq. in LXX, RV ' bond- woman '). See Slavery. J. Hastings.
BONNET is the rendering in AV of two Heb. words, nv;:5 (Ex 28« 29*, Lv 8") and 1x5 (Is 3*, Ezk 44"). In Ex 39** tlie two are conjoined, 'is? n\v;;:'i. RV uniformly {rives, instead of bonnets, head-tires, except Ezk 44" ' tires.'
Both terms apparently refer to the same part of the head-dress of the ordinary priests. Its distinctive importance, with regard to the priestly office and rank, is implied in Is 61'° in? jos; iroj, ' as a bridejjroom makes his head-ornament like a priest's,' which Dillm. and Del. understand of winding it up into a conical point (cf. Nowack, Heb. Arch. ii. 117).
