If you ever get an opportunity to serve on a jury, it is a humbling and interesting experience. Don't be offended if you get excused during the Vior dire, it's just part of the process for an impartial jury. I had a rare opportunity to be on a jury, but even more rare was being selected as an alternate. One of my co-workers asked me if I was going to blog about it after the verdict was said and done, and I thought about it, and now I feel it is the right time to talk about it.
bal. 1  first-person singular present indicative of ballen. 2  imperative of ballen.
RE: What does &quot;balm in Gilead&quot; mean? I know that it has some sort of Christian meaning taken from Genesis chapter 37 referring to a balm (or balsam) carried from Gilead by the caravan of merchants to whom Joseph was sold to by his brothers.My real question is how does Edgar Allan Poe use it in his poem The Raven.. The following passage... know that it has some sort of Christian meaning taken from Genesis chapter 37 referring to a balm (or balsam) carried from Gilead by the caravan of merchants to whom Joseph was sold to by his brothers.
