Meaning

Or or: The word is used once for either (1Sa 26:10), and is still in poetic use in this sense; as in, "Without or wave or wind" (Coleridge); "Or the bakke or some bone he breketh in his dzouthe" (Piers Plowman (B), VII, 93; compare Merchant of Venice, III, ii, 65). It is also used with "ever" for before (Ps 90:2, Eccl 18:19), which the American Standard Revised Version substitutes in Ec 12:6 (compare 12:1,2); Son 6:12, Dan 6:24.
