kon -su -mā´shun ( כּלּיון , killāyōn from כּלה , kālāh ): The word, meaning destruction, completion, or failing (Isaiah 10:23; Isaiah 28:22; Daniel 9:27 ) is translated interchangeably in the King James Version for another Hebrew word referring to a physical disease, and best translated "consumption"; compare Leviticus 26:16; Deuteronomy 28:22 . Not used in the Revised Version (British and American). The Hebrew variously but more accurately translated "full end"; compare Daniel 9:27; Isaiah 10:23; and "destruction"; compare Isaiah 10:22; Isaiah 28:22 . There seems therefore to be an inconsistency on the part of both the Authorized and Revised translations.
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE) was edited by James Orr, John Nuelsen, Edgar Mullins, Morris Evans, and Melvin Grove Kyle and was published complete in 1939. This web site includes the complete text.
WikipediaThe ISBE is a classic Bible reference compiled from nearly 10,000 entries written by over 200 different Bible scholars and teachers. In addition to the encyclopedia articles, all of the major words of the Bible are represented and defined.
The historical, cultural, and linguistic information in the ISBE can be of great value in Bible study and research.
But as with any writings of men, the careful student of the Bible must always compare them with Scripture. As you use this helpful study resource, remember that only God's word is pure.
