Webster's 1828 Dictionary

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

THUS, adverb

In this or that manner; on this wise; as, thus saith the Lord; the Pharisee prayed thus

  1. “THUS did Noah, according to all that God commanded him” Genesis 6:22
  2. To this degree or extent; as thus wise; thus peaceable.
  3. In the phrase, thus much, it seems to be an adjective, equivalent to this much.
