4 . {O 'Reilly and Associates }.Book This word has a comprehensive meaning in Scripture .
In the Old Testament it is the rendering of the Hebrew word _sepher_ ,
which properly means a "
writing ,"
and then a "
volume " (
Ex .
17 :
14 ;
Deut .
28 :
58 ;
29 :
20 ;
Job 19 :
23 )
or "
roll of a book " (
Jer .
36 :
2 ,
4 ).
Books were originally written on skins ,
on linen or cotton cloth ,
and on Egyptian papyrus ,
whence our word "
paper ."
The leaves of the book were generally written in columns ,
designated by a Hebrew word properly meaning "
doors "
and "
valves " (
Jer .
36 :
23 ,
R .
V .,
marg . "
columns ").
Among the Hebrews books were generally rolled up like our maps ,
or if very long they were rolled from both ends ,
forming two rolls (
Luke 4 :
17 -
20 ).
Thus they were arranged when the writing was on flexible materials ;
but if the writing was on tablets of wood or brass or lead ,
then the several tablets were bound together by rings through which a rod was passed .
A sealed book is one whose contents are secret (
Isa .
29 :
11 ;
Rev .
5 :
1 -
3 ).
To "
eat "
a book (
Jer .
15 :
16 ;
Ezek .
2 :
8 -
10 ;
3 :
1 -
3 ;
Rev .
10 :
9 )
is to study its contents carefully .
The book of judgment (
Dan .
7 :
10 )
refers to the method of human courts of justice as illustrating the proceedings which will take place at the day of God '
s final judgment .
The book of the wars of the Lord (
Num .
21 :
14 ),
the book of Jasher (
Josh .
10 :
13 ),
and the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah and Israel (
2 Chr .
25 :
26 ),
were probably ancient documents known to the Hebrews ,
but not forming a part of the canon .
The book of life (
Ps .
69 :
28 )
suggests the idea that as the redeemed form a community or citizenship (
Phil .
3 :
20 ;
4 :
3 ),
a catalogue of the citizens '
names is preserved (
Luke 10 :
20 ;
Rev .
20 :
15 ).
Their names are registered in heaven (
Luke 10 :
20 ;
Rev .
3 :
5 ).
The book of the covenant (
Ex .
24 :
7 ),
containing Ex .
20 :
22 -
23 :
33 ,
is the first book actually mentioned as a part of the written word .
It contains a series of laws ,
civil ,
social ,
and religious ,
given to Moses at Sinai immediately after the delivery of the decalogue .
These were written in this "
book ."
BOOK .
A general name given to every literary composition which is printed ;
but appropriately to a printed composition bound in a volume .

The copyright , (
q .
v .)
or exclusive right to print and publish a book ,
may be secured to the author and his assigns for the term of twenty -
eight years ;
and ,
if the author be living ,
and a citizen of the United States ,
or resident therein ,
the same right shall be continued to him for the further term of fourteen years ,
by complying with the conditions of the act of Congress ;
one of which is ,
that he shall ,
within three months after publication ,
deliver ,
or cause to be delivered ,
a copy of the same to the clerk of the said district .
