James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Ensample


Subjects in this Topic:

ENSAMPLE.—‘Ensample’ and ‘example’ (both from Lat. exemplum) are both used in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] . Tindale has ‘ensample’ only, and so all the Eng. versions until the Rhemish appeared. That version used ‘example’ probably as being nearer the Vulg. [Note: Vulgate.] word exemplum. The AV [Note: Authorized Version.] frequently reveals the influence of the Rhemish version.
