Bewray

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

Bewray . To bewray (from Anglo-Saxon prefix be and wregan , to accuse) is not the same as to betray (from be and Lat. tradere to deliver). To bewray, now obsolete, means in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] to make known, reveal, as   Matthew 26:73 ‘thy speech bewrayeth thee.’ Adams ( Works , ii. 328) distinguishes the two words thus: ‘he … will not bewray his disease, lest he betray his credit.’ Sometimes, however, hewray is used in an evil sense, and is scarcely distinguishable from hetray. Cf. bewrayer in   Malachi 4:1  Malachi 4:1 ‘a bewrayer of the money, and of his country.’

Morrish Bible Dictionary

To accuse or betray.  Isaiah 16:3;  Proverbs 27:16;  Proverbs 29:24;  Matthew 26:73 . From the Anglo-Saxon.
