ôr : The word is used once for either ( 1 Samuel 26:10 ), and is still in poetic use in this sense; as in, "Without or wave or wind" (Coleridge); "Or the bakke or some bone he breketh in his dzouthe" (Piers Plowman ( B ), VII, 93; compare Merchant of Venice , III, ii, 65). It is also used with "ever" for before ( Psalm 90:2; Ecclesiasticus 18:19), which the American Standard Revised Version substitutes in Ecclesiastes 12:6 (compare Ecclesiastes 12:1 , Ecclesiastes 12:2 ); Song of Solomon 6:12; Daniel 6:24 .
