some have

(

, 568) denotes (a) transitively, “to have in full, to have received”;
so the
RV
in Matt. 6:2, 5, 16 (for
KJV
, “they have”); Luke 6:24,
KJV
, and
RV
; in all these
instances the present tense (to which the
KJV
incorrectly adheres in the Matt. 6 verses) has
a perfective force, consequent upon the combination with the prefix
(“from”), not
that it stands for the perfect tense, but that it views the action in its accomplished result;
so in Phil. 4:18, where the
KJV
and
RV
translate it “I have”; in Philem. 15, “(that) thou
shouldest have (him for ever),”
KJV
, “shouldest receive”; see
HAVE
, No. 2, and the
reference to illustrations from the papyri of the use of the verb in receipts; (b)
intransitively, “to be away, distant,” used with
, “far,” Matt. 15:8; Mark 7:6; with
, “far off, afar,” Luke 7:6; 15:20; without an accompanying adverb, Luke 24:13,
“which was from.” See
