EACH, EACH MAN, EACH ONE
1.
(
M
, 1538), “each” or “every,” is used of any number separately,
either (a) as an adjective qualifying a noun, e.g., Luke 6:44; John 19:23; Heb. 3:13, where
“day by day,” is, lit., “according to each day”; or, more emphatically with
, “one,” in
Matt. 26:22; Luke 4:40; 16:5; Acts 2:3, 6, 20:31; 1 Cor. 12:18; Eph. 4:7, 16,
RV
, “each
(several),” for
KJV
, “every”; Col. 4:6; 1 Thess. 2:11; 2 Thess. 1:3; (b) as a distributive
pronoun, e.g., Acts 4:35; Rom. 2:6; Gal. 6:4; in Phil. 2:4, it is used in the plural; some
mss. have it thus in Rev. 6:11. The repetition in Heb. 8:11 is noticeable “every man” (i.e.,
everyone). Prefixed by the preposition
, “apiece” (a colloquialism), it is used, with
stress on the individuality, in Rev. 21:21, of the gates of the heavenly city, “each one of
the several,”
RV
; in Eph. 5:33, preceded by
, “by one,” it signifies “each (one)
his own.”
2. The phrase
, lit., “one by one,” is used in Rev. 4:8, “each one of
them.”

“with,” signifies “with each other,” Luke 23:12,

, for
KJV
, “together.” Similarly in

EAGLE
(
, 105), “an eagle” (also a vulture), is perhaps connected with
, “to
blow,” as of the wind, on account of its windlike flight. In Matt. 24:28 and Luke 17:37
the vultures are probably intended. The meaning seems to be that, as these birds of prey
gather where the carcass is, so the judgments of God will descend upon the corrupt state
of humanity. The figure of the “eagle” is used in Ezek. 17 to represent the great powers
of Egypt and Babylon, as being employed to punish corrupt and faithless Israel. Cf. Job
39:30; Prov. 30:17. The “eagle” is mentioned elsewhere in the NT in Rev. 4:7; 8:13 (
RV
);
12:14. There are eight species in Palestine.¶
