Webster's 1828 Dictionary
How the English word “for” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.
FOR, preposition
[Latin per.; The English, for; to forbid. for corresponds in sense with the Latin pro, as fore does with proe, but pro and proe are probably contracted from prod, proed. The Latin por, in composition, as in porrigo, is probably contracted from porro, Gr. which is the English far. The Gr. are from the same root. The radical sense of for is to go, to pass, to advance, to reach or stretch.]
- Against; in the place of; as a substitute or equivalent, noting equal value or satisfactory compensation, either in barter and sale, in contract, or in punishment. 'And Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for flocks, and for the cattle of the herds; ' that is, according to the original, he gave them bread against horses like the Gr.“Buy us and our land for bread” Genesis 47:19
- In the place of; instead of; noting substitution of persons, or agency of one in the place of another with equivalent authority.
- In exchange of; noting one thing taken or given in place of another; as, to quit the profession of law for that of a clergyman.
- In the place of; instead of; as, to translate a poem line for line.
All definitions and other forms of “for”

- Conducive to; beneficial to; in favor of.
- Leading or inducing to, as a motive.
- Noting arrival, meeting, coming or possession.
- Towards the obtaining of; in order to the arrival at or possession of.
- Against; in opposition to; with a tendency to resist and destroy; as a remedy for the headache or toothache.
- Against or on account of; in prevention of.
- Because; on account of; by reason of.
- With respect or regard to; on the part of.
- Through a certain space; during a certain time; as, to travel for three days; to sail for seven weeks; he holds his office for life; he traveled on sand for ten miles together.

- for to, denoting purpose. for was anciently placed before the infinitives of verbs, and the use is correct, but now obsolete except in vulgar language.
FOR, conjunction
- The word by which a reason is introduced of something before advanced. 'That ye may be the children of your father who is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good.' In such sentences, for has the sense of because, by reason that, as in No.14; with this difference that in No.14, the word precedes a single noun, and here it precedes a sentence or clause; but the phrase seems to be elliptical, for this cause or reason, which follows, he maketh his sun to rise, etc. Romans 13:6
- Because; on this account that; properly, for that.
