sendeth

Causes to go

Sendeth is an archaic third-person singular form of send, using the old English verb ending -eth that was standard until the seventeenth century.

It survives mainly in biblical and liturgical contexts: The Lord sendeth rain upon the just and the unjust.

Outside religious quotation, sendeth appears only in deliberately archaic or mock-formal speech.
