KJV Word of the Day: Stead

This word is taken from Gen 22.13: And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. It is an archaic word for place, which is still used in the words "homestead" or "farmstead."
