ol-too-geth’-er: Representing five Hebrew and three Greek originals, which variously signify<br /><br />

(1) "together"; i.e. all, e.g. `all men, high and low, weighed together in God’s balance are lighter than vanity’ (<bibleref ref="Ps.62.9">Ps 62:9</bibleref>); so also <bibleref ref="Ps.53.3">Ps 53:3</bibleref>; <bibleref ref="Jer.10.8">Jer 10:8</bibleref>.

(2) "all": so the <span class="auto-link">[[Revised Version]]</span> (British and American), <bibleref ref="Isa.10.8">Isa 10:8</bibleref>: "Are not my princes all of them kings?"<br /><br />

(3) "with one accord have broken the yoke"; so the Revised Version (British and American), <bibleref ref="Jer.5.5">Jer 5:5</bibleref>.

(4) "completely," "entirely," "fully": "so as not to destroy him altogether" (<bibleref ref="2Chr.12.12">2Ch 12:12</bibleref>; compare <bibleref ref="Gen.18.21">Ge 18:21</bibleref>; <bibleref ref="Exod.11.1">Ex 11:1</bibleref>; <bibleref ref="Ps.39.5">Ps 39:5</bibleref>; <bibleref ref="Jer.30.11">Jer 30:11</bibleref> the <span class="auto-link">[[King James Version]]</span>; compare the Revised Version (British and American)).

(5) "wholly": "altogether born in sins," <bibleref ref="John.9.34">Joh 9:34</bibleref>.

(6) In <bibleref ref="1Cor.5.10">1Co 5:10</bibleref> the Revised Version (British and American) rendered "at all"; <bibleref ref="1Cor.9.10">1Co 9:10</bibleref> "assuredly."

(7) A passage of classic difficulty to translators is <bibleref ref="Acts.26.29">Ac 26:29</bibleref>, where "altogether" in the Revised Version (British and American) is rendered "with much," Greek en megalo (en pollo). See [[Almost]]. 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 in <bibleref ref="Ps.39.5">Ps 39:5</bibleref> ("altogether vanity").
