The Key Word — עֵד, 'edgenerated
The word עֵד ('ed) means 'witness' and encompasses both the act of witnessing and the person who testifies. It is derived from a root suggesting emphatic affirmation. This term is used throughout the Bible to refer to individuals who provide testimony based on their experiences, particularly in legal contexts.
In this verse, the honest witness is characterized by אֱ֭מוּנִים ('E.mu.nim), meaning 'faithful' or 'trustworthy'. The contrast with the dishonest witness highlights the moral imperative to speak truthfully and the consequences of deception.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
All translations agree that the honest witness does not deceive, while the dishonest witness pours forth lies.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The structure of the verse is straightforward, with two main clauses: the first describes the honest witness and the second the dishonest witness. The finite verbs are יְכַזֵּ֑ב (he tells lies) and יָפִ֥יחַ (and he may breathe out), establishing the actions of each type of witness.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the contrasting nature of the witnesses, highlighting the integrity of the honest witness against the backdrop of the deceitful one.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew עֵד is rendered as μάρτυς (martys), which also means 'witness'. This choice maintains the focus on the role of the witness in providing testimony.
The Greek translation reflects a similar understanding of honesty and deceit, aligning with the Hebrew text's moral teachings.

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
