Deuteronomy 14:4 KJV

These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

Thou and Ye

  • ye more than one

In the King James Bible, thee, thou, thy, and thine always mean one person, and ye, you, and your more than one: a difference modern English lost. Why keep these words?
