Members Soj Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 The word "mansion" is related to the word "manse" which means "a large stately house, suffiecent land for a family". This was the meaning when the KJV translators used the word. The "house of Israel" was full of familes who lived in homes, not rooms. So the word "house" doesn't necessarily mean "home". Again, in 1611, the word "house" did not mean "home" (i.e. building) but rather "family" or "dynasty" as in the House of Tudor, etc. I'm sure everyone in the House of Tudor had their own mansion. That's good stuff brother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
