It is the second person singular past tense of the verb "come." In modern English translations, such as the Berean Standard Bible , this term is typically rendered as "came." The use of "camest" reflects the Early Modern English language style of the 17th century, which was prevalent during the time the KJV was translated. Biblical Context and Usage The word "camest" appears in several passages in the KJV, often in dialogues or narratives where a speaker addresses another person directly. It is used to convey the action of coming or arriving at a particular place or situation. In the context of the Bible, "camest" is often used in significant theological or narrative moments, highlighting the arrival or presence of a person in a divinely orchestrated event. Examples in Scripture While the Berean Standard Bible does not use the term "camest," understanding its usage in the KJV can provide insight into the text's meaning and the historical context of its translation. Here are a few examples where "camest" is used in the KJV, with corresponding BSB translations: 1. <a href="/genesis/24-42.htm">Genesis 24:42</a> (KJV): "And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go." <a href="/genesis/24-42.htm">Genesis 24:42</a> : "So when I came to the spring today, I prayed, ‘O LORD, God of my master Abraham, if only You will make my journey a success." In this passage, the servant of Abraham recounts his journey to find a wife for Isaac, emphasizing the providential guidance of God in his arrival at the well. 2. <a href="/judges/11-7.htm">Judges 11:7</a> (KJV): "And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?" <a href="/judges/11-7.htm">Judges 11:7</a> : "Jephthah replied to the elders of Gilead, 'Did you not hate me and expel me from my father’s house? So why then have you come to me now when you are in distress?'" Here, Jephthah confronts the elders of Gilead, questioning their motives for seeking his help after previously rejecting him. 3. <a href="/john/1-48.htm">John 1:48</a> (KJV): "Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee." <a href="/john/1-48.htm">John 1:48</a> : "How do You know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, 'Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.'" In this New Testament example, Jesus reveals His divine knowledge to Nathanael, indicating His omniscience and the fulfillment of His messianic role. Theological Significance The use of "camest" in the KJV highlights the historical and linguistic context of the Bible's translation into English. It serves as a reminder of the Bible's enduring influence across different languages and cultures. Theologically, the concept of "coming" or "arrival" often signifies divine intervention, fulfillment of prophecy, or the unfolding of God's plan in the biblical narrative. Whether it is the arrival of a servant at a well, a judge called to lead, or the Messiah revealing His knowledge, these moments underscore the active presence of God in the lives of His people. Conclusion While "camest" is not used in modern translations like the BSB, its presence in the KJV offers a glimpse into the historical language of the Bible and the timeless truths conveyed through its narratives. Understanding such terms enriches the study of Scripture and deepens appreciation for the divine orchestration evident throughout the biblical text.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><a href="/library/ephraim/hymns_and_homilies_of_ephraim_the_syrian/hymn_v_o_gift_that.htm">O Gift that Camest up Without Price with the Diver!</a> ...
