ol-too-geth'-er: Representing five Hebrew and three Greek originals, which variously signify
(1) "together"; i.e. all, e.g. `all men, high and low, weighed together in God's balance are lighter than vanity' (Ps 62:9); so alsoPs 53:3;Jer 10:8.
(2) "all": so the Revised Version (British and American),Isa 10:8: "Are not my princes all of them kings?"
(3) "with one accord have broken the yoke"; so the Revised Version (British and American),Jer 5:5.
(4) "completely," "entirely," "fully": "so as not to destroy him altogether" (2Ch 12:12; compareGe 18:21;Ex 11:1;Ps 39:5;Jer 30:11the King James Version; compare the Revised Version (British and American)).
(5) "wholly": "altogether born in sins,"Joh 9:34.
(6) In1Co 5:10the Revised Version (British and American) rendered "at all";1Co 9:10"assuredly."
(7) A passage of classic difficulty to translators isAc 26:29, where "altogether" in the Revised Version (British and American) is rendered "with much," Greek en megalo (en pollo). SeeALMOST. Many of the instances where "altogether" occurs in the King James Version become "together" in the Revised Version (British and American). Used as an adjective inPs 39:5("altogether vanity").
