KJV DISTRIBUTION

Where custom appears.

This is exact English-word usage from the canonical KJV token index, not a Strong's estimate.

ORIGINAL-LANGUAGE MAP

Which Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek words stand behind this KJV word?

These relationships come from exact verse + token-position mappings. We do not assume that one English spelling always equals one Strong's number. A single English token can also carry more than one source tag, so the Strong's-link total can exceed the number of English occurrences.

Let him have your custom but not your votes.

3. In law, long established practice, or usage, which constitutes the unwritten law, and long consent to which gives it authority. Customs are general, which extend over a state or kingdom, and particular, which are limited to a city or district.

CUSTOM, verb intransitive

1. To make familiar. [See Accustom, which is the word used.]

2. To give custom to.

CUSTOM, noun Tribute, toll or tax; that is, cost or charge paid to the public.

Render custom to whom custom is due. Romans 13:7.

CUSTOMs, in the plural, the duties imposed by law on merchandize imported or exported. IN Great Britain and the United States, this word is limited to these species of duties.
