The Language of the King James Bible
Part VI
 The Importance of Prepositions; 'human' vs 'man;'
and the Comfort of Pleasant Word & Letter Sounds.
Nothing comforts like the sound of the King James Bible!

Prepositions
Remember that list of prepositions we were 'suppose' to remember in our school days?  There was value to knowing those!

A preposition is a word that relates a noun or pronoun to another word in a sentence.
Prepositions are ALWAYS followed by a noun called objects of the prepostion.

A list of common prepositions:
aboard, about, above, across, after, against, along, among, around, as, at, before, behind, below, beneath, beside, besides, between, beyond, by, down, during, except, for, from, in, inside, into, like, near, of, off, on, out, outside, over, past, since, through, throughout ,till, to, toward, under, underneath, unlike, until, up, upon, with, within, without, according to, because of, by way of, in addition to, in front of, in place of, in regard to, in spite of, instead of, on account of, out of, next to

Human
Gender inclusive
The gender inclusive term 'human' is now used in the NKJV, NIV, and most new veresions to replace 'man.'

Hu Min
The word 'human' can be traced back to Hu and Min, the man-faced deity of the Egyptians.

New Age Book Cover
One of the most popular New Age books which promotes the divinity of man, When Humanity Comes of Age blantantly depicts Hu on the cover.  Along with Horus, Hu and Min were among the false-Christ figures (god-men) of Egypt's several false-trinities.

Hu
Hu and all of his followers throughout history are called 'hu' and are even noted in Isaiah 9:15 (...the prophet that teacheth lies, "he" is the tail.)  'he' is 'hu' in Hebrew.

'Human' is usually pronounced hu-min, not hu-man.  It does NOT come from the word 'man.'

Min
The Hebrew term for heretic is 'min.'  Hu and Min were no doubt derived from the vowel-less Hebrew 'hm' for Ham. Hu is a heretic - that makes sense.  It can be seen in the earlier Old French as hu-main and in Latin as ho-min.

Modern human design figure
New Age clothing - space articles, etc. that has anything to do with a human figure depicts a divinized person who is sexless, raceless, and ageless.

Number of the beast
Could this help explain why Revelation 2:18 says it is a 'human number' in many modern bible versions? The New Living Translation's footnote also says it is the 'number of 'humanity.'

The KJV NEVER uses the New Age gender inclusive term 'human.'


Sounds
Alliteration
There are many verses that use phonological elements that create balance, contrast, emphasis, unity and assocations in a verse.  These then compliment the meaning and beauty of the passage and make them easier to memorize / remember - as well as give comfort to those who read their Scriptures!  Romans 15:4 - For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

See Revelation 3:18 -  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

The KJV takes full advantage of the stress-timed rhythms - (isochronous) of the English Language.
Rhythm
I coun' sel thee'
to buy' of me'
thou may' est be'
thou may' est see'

may' est be'
na' ked ness'


Alliteration and rhyme are used theologically to tie words and concepts together.
tr ied in the f ire
sh ame of they n akedness
eye salve, that thou mayest see.

When the NKJV, NIV and NASV substitute words such as refined, garments, you, be revealed, from, clothes to wear, put and advise, all such rhythm, rhyme and alliteration are destroyed!


Bonus:
Ensample / Example
I Corinthians 10:6, 11
vs 6 - Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
vs 11 - Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
example becomes our 'sample' with ensample.
