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

THESE, pronoun

plural of this. pronounced theez, and used as an adjective or substitute. these is opposed to those, as this is to that, and when two persons or things or collections of things are named, these refers to the things or persons which are nearest in place or order, or which are last mentioned.
