Easton's Bible Dictionary

That act of grace whereby Christ took our human nature into union with his Divine Person, became man. Christ is both God and man. Human attributes and actions are predicated of him, and he of whom they are predicated is God. A Divine Person was united to a human nature (Acts 20:28; Romans 8:32; 1 Corinthians 2:8; Hebrews 2:11-14; 1 Timothy 3:16; Galatians 4:4, etc.). The union is hypostatical, i.e., is personal; the two natures are not mixed or confounded, and it is perpetual.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

1. (n.) The act of clothing with flesh, or the state of being so clothed; the act of taking, or being manifested in, a human body and nature.

2. (n.) The union of the second person of the Godhead with manhood in Christ.

3. (n.) An incarnate form; a personification; a manifestation; a reduction to apparent from; a striking exemplification in person or act.

4. (n.) A rosy or red color; flesh color; carnation.

5. (n.) The process of healing wounds and filling the part with new flesh; granulation.
