GENERAL . This adj. means in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘universal,’ as Latimer, Sermons , 182, ‘The promises of God our Saviour are general; they pertain to all mankind.’ So in Hebrews 12:23 , ‘the general assembly’ means the gathering of all without exception. Generally in like manner means ‘universally,’ 2 Samuel 17:11 ‘I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee.’ The subst. ‘general’ is once ( 1 Chronicles 27:34 ) used for Heb. sar , of which the more usual rendering is ‘captain’ (wh. see; cf. Army, § 2 ).
