Words or Phrases First Introduced Into the English Language in Early English Bible Translations [1]

The first recorded use of many of the words used in ordinary English today can be found in the early translations of the Bible into English. When John Wycliffe translated the Bible into English from Jerome鈥檚 Latin Vulgate in the fourteenth century, he enlarged the English language by adapting many Latin words into his English Bible. The words treasure and mystery, glory and horror, female and sex all owe their English usage to Wycliffe鈥檚 Bible. Tyndale, translating from the Hebrew and Greek in the 16th century, did not borrow as much from the Latin as did Wycliffe. He did coin words from the Dutch and Germanic sources (after all, he did his translation work while in those two countries) as well as French. Beautiful and ungodly were such words. Many of Tyndale鈥檚 coined words were compound words, such as fisherman,castaway, and busybody. Both of Wycliffe鈥檚 and Tyndale鈥檚 translations included phrases which readily entered the language with their Bible translations 鈥� phrases like a city on a hill, my brother鈥檚 keeper, ye of little faith, salt of the earth, and thirty pieces of silver. Below is a chart of words and phrases coined by the early English translators of the Bible.

Wycliffe鈥檚 translation from the Vulgate (1382/88)
Word Bible Passage Derivation
female Genesis 1:27 Jerome鈥檚 Vulgate used Latin femina. Wycliffe鈥檚 female was based on the related Latin word, femella. The English word male had first appeared 7 years earlier.

Sodom and Gomorrah Genesis 13:10 N/A
