Webster's 1828 Dictionary

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

WHICH, pronoun

relative or substitute. [I have not found this word in any other language. I think it may be from the root of quick. See What and Wight.]

  1. A word called a relative or pronoun relative, because it relates to another word or thing, usually to some word that precedes it in the sentence.
  2. which is much used in asking questions, for the purpose of obtaining the designation of a particular person or thing by the answer, and in this use, it is of the masculine as well as of the neuter gender.“WHICH of you convinceth me of sin?” John 8:46“For which of those works do ye stone me?” John 10:32
  3. That which Take which you will, that is, take any one of the whole.
