    David Adrian on Isaiah 18 - 4 years ago
    In the KJV as a rule, the possessive pronouns mine and thine are used instead of my and thy when the words they modify begin with vowels. However, there are many exceptions, in the Book of Psalms, at least. I was particularly struck by Psalm 20, Verses 3 and 4:

    3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice.
    4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

    In Verse 3, "thy offerings" is followed in Verse 4 by "thine own". What explains such an inconsistency?

    Thine = (web dictionary) pertaing to self ownership, belonging to, also 'yours'
    Thy = (web dictionary) the possessive case of thou, also meaning 'your'

    Those definitions are correct, of course, but they don't explain the inconsistencies I cited.
