American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

Revealing the true meaning of supernatural dreams, Genesis 41:1-57 Daniel 2:4 , unknown tongues, etc., 1 Corinthians 12:12,30 14:5,13 .

For the right interpretation of the word of God, the chief requisites are, a renewed heart, supremely desirous to learn and do the will of God; the aid of the Holy Spirit, sought and gained; a firm conviction that the word of God should rule the erring season and heart of man; a diligent comparison of its different parts, for the light they throw upon each other; all reliable information as to the history and geography, the customs, laws, and languages, the public, domestic, and inner life of Bible times. Thus to study the Bible for one's self is the privilege and duty of every one.
