bē̇ -sı̄d ´: Near to, or close to ( Psalm 23:2 ). It is often used to refer to the mental state, to the derangement of the mind ( ἐξίστημι , exı́stēmi , Mark 3:21; Acts 26:24 the King James Version). Or it may refer to the condition of being out of the ordinary course of the life. A life consecrated to God and spent in the interest of humanity is so designated ( 2 Corinthians 5:13 ). It has the sense also of a state of being out of one's usual mind, but not of mental derangement, occasioned by something that causes amazement or ast onishment ( Mark 5:42 ). Or it may refer to a state in which one is not conscious of present conditions, but is rapt in vision ( Acts 10:10 ).

Besides is used in the sense of in addition to or that which is over and above what has been said or is possessed ( Luke 16:26; see the American Revised Version, margin "in"; Philippians 1:19 ).
