Ecclesiastes

(ek-kle-ze-as'leez.) [Gr., the Preacher; Heb. Koheleth.] (Script.) A canonical book of the Old Testament, the design of which is to show the vanity of all sublunary things. The majority of commentators believe this book to be the fruit of Solomon's repentance, after having experienced all the follies and pleasures of life. [s. 314]
