- I wot:
- "Wot," though used for the present, is the past tense of the almost obsolete word "to wit," from the Saxon witan, to know. "And there was¹ a strifeª between¹ the herdmenª° of Abram'sª cattleª and the herdmenª° of Lot'sª cattle:ª and the Canaaniteª and the Perizziteª dwelledª° then¹ in the land.ª" {Gen 13:7} + "But Gehazi,ª the servantª of Elishaª the manª of God,ª said,ª° Behold,¹ my masterª hath sparedª°¹ Naamanª this¹ Syrian,ª in not receivingª°¹ at his handsª¹¹ that which¹ he brought:ª° but,¹¹ [as] the LORDª liveth,ª I will runª° afterª him, and takeª° somewhatª of¹¹ him. ... And when he cameª° to¹ the tower,ª he tookª° [them] from their hand,ª¹ and bestowedª° [them] in the house:ª and he let¹ the men²¹ go,ª° and they departed.²°¹" {2Kg 5:20-24}
