King James Bible Glossary

http://www.bibleprotector.com/blog/?page_id=1167

King James Bible words should be defined, not based on the Hebrew, Syriack and Greek they are translated from, but by English itself. Many KJB word lists already exist, and each differs to the other in what words they define and what detail they go to. This glossary is designed to augment normal word lists and good dictionaries, so definitions here are designed to improve upon other sources. The authority of such definitions are a right understanding of the Scripture itself, with some content adapted from W. A. Wright’s Bible Word-Book.

This is a work in process, a working document, dealing with word definitions and doctrinal implications.

A, An. 1. The usage of “a” or “an” before words beginning with “h” is not uniform, varied perhaps to other sounds or syllables. 2. Used as a prefix, present tense action or state, “a dying”, (Luke 8:42), “a fishing” (John 21:3), “an hungred” (Matt. 4:2), “in a readiness” (2 Cor. 10:6). 3. Used with numbers (Luke 9:28).
