Wow! The answer to my prayers for many years! It's not a "bible Dictionary" per say, but at least I will be able to look up and understand what the translators of the KJV are saying -- using that older English language. All languages 'change' and take on different meaning through the years. Take the examples of words like: 'Gay', Cool, tough, fierce, etc, etc. Thank you, Lord!
Ah yes! I Just went through the same thing. I just bought an 1828 Noah Dictionary and it has definitions of the old, archaic 1610-11, Shakespearean English used in the KJV Bible. It really is helping me as I read the KJV as I also am needing to get up to speed!
Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828 Edition
ISBN: 091249803X
ISBN-13: 9780912498034

I know it is a little expensive, but it is worth every penny and seems very well made also!
Your friend,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I just ordered 3 more KJV bibles from: christianbooks.com last night, and |I have to wait for payday to think about more books...
.
I need your help and advice, please. I sometimes need help in understanding archaic KJV words... and remember that this beautiful, poetic Bible was written in Shakespear's time, about 1610-11. Is there ANY book that can help me glean the proper meaning of the old words to bring me up to speed?? Example: the term 'shambles' in old English meant 'meat market.' I have learned bits and pieces through the years with use, but just think about all the new and younger people who want to study the bible but are handicapped by their ignorance of the old English terms.
I have snagged some great deals at the web site: christianbooks.com
And you pay for what you get.
