This is old english :-

"thou" is an objective form of "thee" and was used to mean (singular) "you".

"wast" is the second person singular past of the verb "be".

So "thou wast" means "you were".

Where does the Bible say that lucifer is the angel of music?

"Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Ezek 28:13-15


What does Shakespeare mean by the word wast?

It is the past tense of the verb to be, second person singular. It always goes with the pronoun "thou". At one time, "thou" was the only way that you could talk about the person you were addressing, and it took its own set of verb forms. In Shakespeare's day, the thou forms were being replaced with the you forms which existed already for when you were addressing a whole bunch of people. Since then the you forms have taken over almost completely. The equivalent expression for "thou wast" is "you were", so that "Thou wast the prettiest babe that ever I nursed" means the same as "You were the prettiest babe that ever I nursed".

When did Lucifer turn bad?

The Bible does not specifically state when the 'anointed cherub that covereth' happened, but it was before the renewal of the Earth and creation of man occurs in Genesis 1. Here is a Scripture commonly associated with the event:Ezekiel 28:12-15King James Version (KJV)12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.


What was most responsible for Satan's fall?

Ezek:28:15: Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Ezek:28:17: Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Pride was the downfall of Lucifer and was the iniquity that proved to be his failing.

Who was the covering cherub in the Garden of Eden?

A:Dr David Goldstein (Jewish Mythology) says that Cherubs were sphinx-like creatures with human heads, the bodies of lions, and wings. He says the great guardians of the Assyrian Ninevah were probably quite like the Israelite cherubs in form. In fact, the cherub form was common throughout much of the ancient Near East. We should avoid taking the concept too literlly and seeking names and personalities for each biblical cherub. AnswerThe 'covering cherub' was: -a created being,- had been in-the garden of Eden, had been perfect,Ezek 28:13-15 (KJV)Ezek 28 (v.13) Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. (v.14) Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. (v.15) Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee..

What verse speaks of Peter's death?

The death of Peter is not mentioned in the Bible and is known only from writings of early Church fathers and tradition. However, John 21:18 does seem to indicate the future death of Saint Peter:"Amen, amen I say to thee, when thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself, and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldst not."

Mt:22:37: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mt:22:39: And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Ezekiel:28:13-19: 13: Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14: Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15: Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16: By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17: Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18: Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19: All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. 20: Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
