KJB GLOSSARY

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, adapted from W. A. Wright’s Bible Word-Book.

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.
