"Cool biz" actually refers to a dress code of not wearing ties and jackets during the summer. |

Perhaps the meaning of a prophet being entrusted with the word of God and, as in the above, a book of the Bible by one of the prophets. Your data base has reference to books of the Bible.

The clue is the "RH". It's in the file of untranslated kanji/reading pairs
