Bible Word-Book

William Swinton

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. During the two and a half centuries since the first publication of the English version of the Scriptures in 1611 many words have gone nearly or quite out of use, and others have come to be used in a different sense from that intended by the translators. Both classes of words require explanation and, in most cases, their meaning is best illustrated and most clearly apprehended by quotations from old English writers, where they are used in the same sense as in our version of the Scriptures.
