Begat: the King James Bible and the English language

In the beginning

Let there be light

Be fruitful and multiply

My brother's keeper

Two by two

A coat of many colours

Fire and brimstone

Begat

Thou shall not

Manna, milk, and honey

Eyes, teeth, and loins

What hath been wrought

Bread alone

How are the mighty fallen!

The skin of one's teeth

Out of the mouths of babes

Pride goes before a fall

Nothing new under the sun

Fly in the ointment

No peace for the wicked

Be horribly afraid

Seeing the light

Eyes, ears, cheeks

Speaking, shouting, wailing, writing

Shaking, turning, moving

Many and few, first and last

Fights, foes, fools, friends

Praising famous men

Sheep, goats, swine

Money, wages, pearls, mites

Blessed are the servants

Heal thyself

Times and seasons

Birth, life, and death

Countries, kingdoms, Armageddon

Building houses, mansions, sepulchres

Millstones, crosses, yokes, pricks

Sowing seeds

Salt and wine

The law, judges, thieves, swords

Love and charity

Peace, patience, wrath, whore
