Genesis 33:8 KJV

And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.

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?

Matthew Henry

  • The friendly meeting of Jacob and EsauJacob, having by prayer committed his case to God, went on his way. Come what will, nothing can come amiss to him whose heart is fixed, trusting in God....
