Definition: The term "alterate" in the KJV (KJV English Version) has a slightly different meaning compared to its English counterpart, which is more standard and less specific.
In the English version of the Bible, "alterate" seems to have been derived from Greek, but with the addition of an "a" prefix. This word can be translated as "to change or vary," or "to alter."
Here's a brief breakdown of what it means:
1.
Alter
- Translates to "change" or "vary."
2.
ate
- A personal verb meaning "to take, to receive, or to acquire."
In the context of altering something (like changing color or shape), this word suggests that something has changed in some way.
For example:
- The king was said to be "alterated," indicating he had been altered by certain events.
- He was considered "alterate" from his former behavior due to his political position.
In both instances, the king's transformation is attributed to someone else. This might relate to a situation where something changed because of another individual or event, such as when a king may be said to be "alterated" by events that led him to change his policies or actions.
Understanding and applying these words accurately in your context will depend on the specific language used in your scripture studies.
