Fathom @ (Old A.S. faethm, "bosom," or the outstretched arms), a span of six feet Acts:27:28). Gr. orguia (from orego, "I stretch"), the distance between the extremities of both arms fully stretched out.
Fatling @ (1.) A fatted animal for slaughter ( 2Samuel:6:13; Isaiah:11:6; Ezekiel:39:18. Comp. Matthew:22:4, where the word used in the original, sitistos, means literally "corn-fed;" i.e., installed, fat). (2.) Psalms:66:15 (Heb. meah, meaning "marrowy," "fat," a species of sheep). (3.) 1Samuel:15:9 (Heb. mishneh, meaning "the second," and hence probably "cattle of a second quality," or lambs of the second birth, i.e., autmnal lambs, and therfore of less value).
