Biblical preposition
Answer:
UNTO
Hint:
Think of the word often used in old scriptures when someone is speaking directly to another, like a command or promise.
Explanation:
Biblical preposition" points to "UNTO" because it’s an old-fashioned word often found in translations like the King James Bible, meaning "to" (e.g., "the angel said unto them"). The clue plays on its archaic usage—modern English rarely uses "unto," but it’s a classic biblical term. Think of phrases like "give unto Caesar" to spot the connection.
