Definition: In the King James Version (KJV), "amendatory" is used to describe an act or process by which a text is revised, adjusted, or edited to better conform with the context in which it was written. The KJV defines "amendatory" as follows: 1. "To amend." For instance: "He amended his letters." 2. "To revise or adjust." For example: "That he might be well-aided by it." 3. "For correction of a wrong." For instance: "Let him amends the wrongs of the Lord." The concept is that when we are using the KJV, this word refers to the act of changing or updating a text in order to correct errors and clarify the original intent of its author. In English, the phrase "to amend" means to change something, especially by making it better. For example, if someone changes a letter in their letter, they are amending it; if they fix a hole or remove something that is wrong, they are correcting it. Amendatory often conveys a sense of improvement and correction within a text. It's like saying "to correct the error in your work" or "to make things better."
