CD Bible

[Janina Sajka]

You might want to know that the dict command typically includes Easton's
searches. So, for example, you can do the following at a bash prompt:

dict ephesus

and get the Easton's entry, along with some other entries.

As for having a Bible on your computer, if you're on Debian, try:

apt-cache search bible

I think you'll have fun with the results, many of which you can easily
install and use. To install any one you would, of course, do:

apt-get install [package name]
