Webster's 1828 Dictionary

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

BE, verb intransitive

substantive, participle present tense being; participle passive been.[The sense is to stand, remain or be fixed; hence to continue. This verb is defective, and its defects are supplied by verbs from other roots, as, is, was, were, which have no radical connection with be The case is the same with the substantive verb in most languages.]

  1. To be fixed; to exist; to have a real state or existence, for a longer or shorter time.“Let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus” Philippians 2:5
  2. To be made to be; to become.
  3. To remain.
  4. To be present in a place.
All definitions
  1. To have a particular manner of being or happening; as, how is this affair? how was it? what were the circumstances?
