Quarries.The word pesilim is commonly translated 'graven images,' or 'carved images'; therefore in Judges 3:19, 26 the word is better rendered as in margin of A.V. 'graven images.' It is not supposed to refer to a place where stone was excavated, but to some images or blocks of stone so called which stood there. Under Jerusalem there is a quarry from whence in early days much stone was taken. See JERUSALEM.

Quicken, to:
Quicken, to:chayah. This term is used in the O.T. with the force of 'to revive, or give new life' in a moral sense: hence we read "quicken me again." In Ps. 119 the psalmist asked nine times to be quickened — according to God's word, or His righteousness, or His judgements, etc. See also Ps. 71:20; Ps. 80:18; Ps. 143:11. In the N.T. the word is ζωοποιέω, and is invariably employed in the sense of making alive those who are in the state, or under the power of death. It is therefore sometimes used as the equivalent of resurrection, but the word is never applied to the wicked dead. It is God's work: the term is employed in connection with the Father (John 5:21), with the Son (John 5:21), and with the Spirit. John 6:63. It is characteristic of the last Adam that He is a quickening Spirit. 1 Cor. 15:45. In Christ all will be quickened. Evidently the principle of divine sovereignty is involved in the term. God makes alive according to His will. The believer is said to have been quickened together (συζωοποιέω) with Christ, and is thus brought spiritually into association with Christ. A word may be added on the distinction between 'new birth' and 'quickening.' It lies in the latter implying a making alive in view of an order of things and a state different from that in which the one quickened had lived previously. This is not necessarily the result of new birth; for instance, Israel will have to be born again in view of earthly blessing (John 3:12; Ezek. 36:25-26); but believers now are not only born again, but, as quickened with Christ, they are made to live spiritually in that sphere of holy love into which Christ has entered by resurrection, in order that He might introduce them into it; they thus have passed from death to life.
Quicksand
Quicksand,ἡ Σύρτισ. The Syrtis is a quicksand on the north African coast between long. 10 and 20 E. Acts 27:17. There are properly two, called the major and the minor; it would have been the major one on the east of the bay that they were in danger of. It is now called the Gulf of Sidra.
