Bible | Host an entertainer (Rom. 16:23); a tavern-keeper, the keeper of a caravansary (Luke 10:35). In warfare, a troop or military force. This consisted at first only of infantry. Solomon afterwards added cavalry (1 Kings 4:26; 10:26). Every male Israelite from twenty to fifty years of age was bound by the law to bear arms when necessary (Num. 1:3; 26:2; 2 Chr. 25:5). Saul was the first to form a standing army (1 Sam. 13:2; 24:2). This example was followed by David (1 Chr. 27:1), and Solomon (1 Kings 4:26), and by the kings of Israel and Judah (2 Chr. 17:14; 26:11; 2 Kings 11:4, etc.). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |

Literature | Host A victim. The consecrated bread of the Eucharist is so called in the Latin Church because it is believed to be a real victim consisting of flesh, blood, and spirit, offered up in sacrifice. (Latin, hostia.) At the service known as the Benediction it is set up for adoration, and with it the blessing is given in a transparent vessel called a "monstrare." (Latin, monstrare, to show. Host. An army. At the breaking up of the Roman Empire the first duty of every subject was to follow his lord into the field, and the proclamation was banire in hostem (to order out against the foe), which soon came to signify "to order out for military service," and hostem facere came to mean "to perform military service." Hostis (military service) next came to mean the army that went against the foe, whence our word host. "Like the leaves of the forest, when summer is Green, That host with their banners at sunset was Seen; Like the leaves of the forest, when autumn has Blown, That host on the morrow lay withered and Strown."

Guests who calculate what their expenses at an hotel will come to always leave out certain items which the landlord adds in. "Found in few minutes, to his cost, He did but count without his host."

When this is transcribed by the infected cell, the new viral RNA and proteins are produced to form new viruses that then bud from the cell membrane, thus completing the life cycle of the virus.
