Meaning
Record rek'-ord, rek'-ord:
(1) The English word, where it occurs in the Old Testament and the New Testament in the sense of testimony, is translated in the Revised Version (British and American) "witness" (Deu 30:19, Deu 31:28, Joh 1:19, Joh 1:32, Joh 8:13, Joh 8:14, Rom 10:2, etc.). See WITNESS. but in Job 16:19 for the King James Version "my record," the Revised Version (British and American) has "he that voucheth for me."
