@Pressing-On: Thats a GOOD question. When this occurs in scripture we must look at the relationship of the two reference words. Keep in mind that the Hebrew does not translate to English "precisely" Bare in mind that we are talking about two different languages with MANY words that are NOT equivalent. Some words CAN NOT be translated ...PERIOD. So in such a case we must revert to the "spirit" or "direction" of the scripture.
Example. I heard a young man say to another young man one day. "gnarly Dude". The other one replied, "I'm stoked".
Now lets think about this. These are "western world phrases and words". Slang or figurative. Usually found in coastal areas among surfers or in the suburbs of middle America with skateboarder and the like.
If a Hebrew asked me to translate the word "gnarly" or "stoked"......Well I couldn't. There is NO equivalent. I would have to "CHANGE" the word entirely. Then translate it to a similar word in Hebrew.
Now Websters states that "gnarly" is: difficult or hairy. Well thats not what he's saying. What he meant was "cool, awesome, appealing or good." We know what was meant BUT not the Hebrew man. LOL
Same with "stoked".
Do you see how quick we get lost in the 'word phrase' game? It takes time to build or capture INTENT and MEANING.
In short: to answer your question, wear meant re: (logical) according to; upon; the occurring of events. These are the "common word" (ground) commonality for drawing a conclusion to the meaning of the word WEAR. Which was interpreted to English almost PERFECTLY.
Lastly; THE BIBLE WAS INTERPRETED ALMOST PERFECTLY INTO ENGLISH. ORDAINED OF GOD HIMSELF. NO NEED TO FRET. WHAT YOU HAVE IS WHAT YOU GET!
People get into trouble when they try to "REVERSE" translate the BIBLE. ITS NOT POSSIBLE. Many words were added and deleted to arrive at the most precise meaning and intent of the writer.
GOD is NO fool. He knew that everyone would not be a Bible Scholar. Thats why we read, for the most part, the Bible literally. Not in every verse, but across the board. GOD does NOT desire for us to be confused. Who's that author? Thats right......the devil.
(I have to confess that in conjunction with all of the 'drop your pants at the dry cleaners' posts, this made me giggle )
That was pretty funny. Will frustrates me, though. I was thinking I was pretty smart until I saw that he has 12 years of education. Makes me jealous. He's just too smart for me.

I see we have another AFF member posting under a pseudo name. Timmy is that you? No, Timmy would just post under his own name.
See how you came to mind first? Actually, I've never considered you a troublemaker. You do have some thought provoking questions, that's for sure! We cannot deny that fact. LOL!

You people are too suspicious. Can't you just leave a guy alone and let him make fun of Aristotle and his education? Plus, I love my avatar!! It's the best on AFF!! Actually, Dr. McLeod inspired me to take another look at my Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. I haven't looked at that thing in years!
