Bewray

== Easton's Bible Dictionary == Proverbs 27:1629:24Isaiah 16:3Matthew 26:73 == 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.’

== King James Dictionary ==

BEWRA'Y, beray. To disclose perfidiously to betray to show or make visible.

Thy speech bewrayeth thee. Matthew 23

This word is nearly antiquated.

== Morrish Bible Dictionary ==

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