    How the English word “where” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.

    WHERE, adverb

    1. At which place or places.“In all places where I record my name, I will come to thee and I will bless thee” Exodus 20:24
    2. At or in what place.“Adam, where art thou?” Genesis 3:9
    3. At the place in which.
    4. Whither; to what place, or from what place. where are you going? where are you from? [These uses of where are common, and the first cannot be condemned as vulgar.]
