Place

PLACE plas:

Normally for maqom, Old Testament, and topos, New Testament, but in the King James Version "place" represents a great number of Hebrew and Greek words, often used with no difference in force (e.g. 2 Chronicles 35:10,15). the Revised Version (British and American) has made few changes, but occasionally has attempted to specialize the meaning (Genesis 40:13; Job 37:8; Acts 8:32; James 3:11, etc.).
