Foretell

Thrice ' foretell ' occurs in AV, each time for a dilierent Gr.

verb, and twice in the sense of 'tell beforehand,' not specially pro- phesy or prognosticate : Mk 13^ ' Beliold, I have toretold you all things' (ivpoelpniKa, RV 'I have told you all things beforehand ') ; 2 Co IS* ' I told FOREWABD FORGETFULNESS 55 you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time ' (wpoeipTjKa /cai irp6\{fu>, RV ' I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand,' KVm ' plainlj' ' for beforehand). For this mean- ing see Sliaks. Tempest, IV. i.

149 — ' These our actors. As I foretold you, were all spirits * ; and /// Henry VI. IV. viL 12— • For many men that stumble at the threshold Are well foretold that danger lurka within.' In the third instance the meaning is prophesy, predict, Ac 3" ' aU the prophets . . have like- wise foretold of these days' (TR TrpoKa.TippiiCKa.v, but edd. Kar)J77EAai', whence RV 'they also told of these days '). [7rpoKaTa77AX(<) is accepted by edd.

in Ac 3'8 ( AV ' God before had shewed,' RV 'God foreshewed '), and 7" (EV 'shewed be- fore ')]. J. Hastings.
