Exodus 30:18 (KJV)

Words Then and Now

laver a large basin for washing Still heard today: a lavatory, first a washbasin, from the same Latin word Webster’s 1828 · Laver
withal with it; besides Webster’s 1828 · Withal

What these words mean in the King James Bible, and where you’ll still hear them today.

Thou and Ye

thou one person

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?
