Carriage In the Authorized Version this word is found as the rendering of many different words. In Judg. 18:21 it means valuables, wealth, or booty. In Isa. 46:1 (R.V., "the things that ye carried about") the word means a load for a beast of burden. In 1 Sam. 17:22 and Isa. 10:28 it is the rendering of a word ("stuff" in 1 Sam. 10:22) meaning implements, equipments, baggage. The phrase in Acts 21:15, "We took up our carriages," means properly, "We packed up our baggage," as in the Revised Version. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.

Specialty Definition: Carriage

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The classic definition of a carriage is a four-wheeled horse-drawn private passenger vehicle, especially one that is large and comfortable; see also stagecoach. The word was shortened to 'car' sometime after the advent of the automobile and applied to multiple wheeled vehicles with one or more internal-combustion engines. In British English a railway carriage (also called a coach) is a railroad car designed and equipped for conveying passengers.

The first patients were seen in other converted residential quarters starting in March, 1944. 3) the permanent home for University of Texas M.D. Anderson hospital began taking shape in the early 1950s in the newly designated Texas Medical Center, which only a few years earlier had been "way out in the woods". 4) M.D. Anderson's first seven-story structure was opened for patient care on March 19, 1954. This initial building contained 310 beds, which were phased into use over a five-year period, along with facilities for cancer research and educational activities.

Historic Usage: Carriage

AuthorDateQuotation

John Locke

1690

But since gold and silver, being little useful to the life of man in proportion to food, raiment, and carriage, has its value only from the consent of men, whereof labour yet makes, in great part, the measure, it is plain, that men have agreed to a disproportionate and unequal possession of the earth, they having, by a tacit and voluntary consent, found out, a way how a man may fairly possess more land than he himself can use the product of, by receiving in exchange for the overplus gold and silver, which may be hoarded up without injury to any one; these metals not spoiling or decaying in the hands of the possessor. (Second Treatise of Government)

Treaty of Versailles

1919
