Exodus 32:11 KJV

And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?

Words Then and Now

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

Thou and Ye

  • thy, 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?
