Noah Webster
Websters Dictionary 1828
This online edition has been carefully prepared in a special format. All words, definitions, and examples have been preserved, but the explanations of word origins have been left out to make the data easier to use in a digital format. We have also removed Webster's long technical introduction for the same reason.
Scripture references have been converted to a modern format, and many abbreviations have been expanded to make them easier to understand.
Purim
PU'RIM, noun Among the Jews, the feast of lots, instituted to commemorate their deliverance from the machinations of Haman. Esther 9:26.
