Ensample

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

ENSAMPLE . ‘Ensample’ and ‘example’ (both from Lat. exemplum ) are both used in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] . Tindale has ‘ensample’ only, and so all the Eng. versions until the Rhemish appeared. That version used ‘example’ probably as being nearer the Vulg. [Note: Vulgate.] word exemplum . The AV [Note: Authorized Version.] frequently reveals the influence of the Rhemish version.
