Numbers 22:9 KJV

And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?

Thou and Ye

  • thee 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
