entereth
Comes through door
Entereth is an archaic third-person singular form of enter, using the -eth ending that was standard in Early Modern English.
It appears almost exclusively in biblical and liturgical contexts: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
The form survives in quotations from the King James Bible and deliberate archaism.
