  Corner
     The angle of a house (Job 1:19) or a street (Prov. 7:8).
     "Corners" in Neh. 9:22 denotes the various districts of the
     promised land allotted to the Israelites. In Num. 24:17, the
     "corners of Moab" denotes the whole land of Moab. The "corner of
     a field" (Lev. 19:9; 23:22) is its extreme part, which was not
     to be reaped. The Jews were prohibited from cutting the
     "corners," i.e., the extremities, of the hair and whiskers
     running round the ears (Lev. 19:27; 21:5). The "four corners of
     the earth" in Isa. 11:12 and Ezek. 7:2 denotes the whole land.
     The "corners of the streets" mentioned in Matt. 6:5 means the
     angles where streets meet so as to form a square or place of
     public resort.
     
       The corner gate of Jerusalem (2 Kings 14:13; 2 Chr. 26:9) was
     on the north-west side of the city.
     
       Corner-stone (Job 38:6; Isa. 28:16), a block of great
     importance in binding together the sides of a building. The
     "head of the corner" (Ps. 118:22, 23) denotes the coping, the
     "coign of vantage", i.e., the topstone of a building. But the
     word "corner stone" is sometimes used to denote some person of
     rank and importance (Isa. 28:16). It is applied to our Lord, who
     was set in highest honour (Matt. 21:42). He is also styled "the
     chief corner stone" (Eph. 2:20; 1 Pet. 2:6-8). When Zechariah
     (10:4), speaking of Judah, says, "Out of him came forth the
     corner," he is probably to be understood as ultimately referring
     to the Messiah as the "corner stone." (See TEMPLE, SOLOMON'S
     �T0003612.)
