Very interesting question ... what does Divers mean. First one must understand the Divers is an English word and biblical texts are written initially in Hebrew (Old Testament), Chaldee (during the captivity of Judah in Babylon) and Greek (New Testament). Divers is an English translation used as a adjective, to clarify nouns and pronouns. Divers and Diverse are two words which sound the same but have very different meanings, event though they emanate from the same Latin word. Both are used in biblical text however they do have different meanings. - Diverse (adjective) is from the Latin Diversus which means turning in opposite directions. Diverse means unlike in nature or qualities (indicating uniqueness). Divers (adjective) is said to come from the same Latin word however its meaning is different from Diverse. Divers is more related to quantity or variation indicating "more than one or Several" - A simple explanation would be: Diverse = Unique from others (exa. Diverse heights) Divers = A quantity (exa. Divers colors, Divers places) - The Western English speaking peoples do not use the word Divers in their day to day conversation, but use the word diverse quite often. in the current Western English, Diverse retains its historical meaning and Divers is replaced by the words various or many, which indicate quantity
