What does the 'eth' at the end of a word mean?
I want to see how any of you would argue against this...I have heard it preached and proven that the 'eth' on the end of the word in the Bible mean a continual perpetuation of something or a current event. Example, believ'eth' means to continually believe or currently believe and speak'eth' is to continually say or currently say. If that is to be true in all cases in the Bible where we see 'eth' then wouldn't it be that 'pertaineth to a man' would actually mean in a continual state of pertaining to man or currently pertaining to a man? What do you think?

I thought it just had something to do with Elizabethean English (or whatever you call King James English) and would have no relevance in the original texts...

I have no real clue to that, but for ages this is how I have heard it preached. May be the preachers on here could shed some light on it.

I understand that to be the intent of the writers when translating the Greek, but I am not sure that carries over into the Hebrew??????
