giveth

Grants, King James-style

Giveth is an archaic or biblical form of the verb give, used with third-person singular subjects in Early Modern English.

It appears frequently in the King James Bible and similar texts: The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

Today it surfaces mainly in quotations, deliberate archaism, or humorous imitation of old-fashioned speech.
