Liar! That’s a page from a random guy’s blog, not the Bible. At
least this time you’ve managed to find a blog page that agrees
with you. Well done. But that still doesn’t make any of it
true. Why does this guy think he knows more about the origins
of English words than the people who literally wrote the dictionary?

And anyway, you claimed this was in the Bible, so you need post
a reference to the Bible. (Hint: the Bible isn’t the Old Testament, the
New Testament and the Random Guy’s Blog. I don’t think that’s
even part of the apocrypha.)
