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.]
- 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.
- 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
- That which Take which you will, that is, take any one of the whole.
