Save
Save
sav: In the sense except, the word came into English through the French (sauf) and is fairly common (38 times, in addition to saving, the King James Version Ecc 5:11; Amo 9:8; Mat 5:32; Luk 4:27; Rev 2:17). It represents no particular Hebrew or Greek terms but is employed wherever it seems useful. It is still in good (slightly archaic) use, and the Revised Version (British and American) has few modifications (Deu 15:4 the King James Version; Psa 18:31, etc.), but the English Revised Version has dropped saving in Luk 4:27 and Rev 2:17 and the American Standard Revised Version also in Ecc 5:11; Amo 9:8, retaining it only in Mat 5:32.
