BOARD. This word is used to designate all the magistrates of a city or
borough, or all the managers or directors of any institution; as, the board
of aldermen; the board of directors of the Bank of North America. The
majority of the board have in general the power to perform the acts of the
whole board, but sometimes they are restrained by their charters, and it
requires a greater number to perform certain acts.

Boar : occurs only in Ps. 80:13. The same Hebrew word is elsewhere
rendered "swine" (Lev. 11:7; Deut. 14:8; Prov. 11:22; Isa. 65:4;
66:3, 17). The Hebrews abhorred swine's flesh, and accordingly
none of these animals were reared, except in the district beyond
the Sea of Galilee. In the psalm quoted above the powers that
destroyed the Jewish nation are compared to wild boars and wild
beasts of the field.
