What Does “Fine” Mean in the Bible?
In the King James Bible, “Fine” means “pure” in modern English. It is an archaic word from the 1611 KJV that has dropped out of everyday use.
What Was Lost
The furnace behind the word. Fine gold was not merely good gold but gold that had passed through fire, had its impurities burned away, and emerged as nothing but pure metal. When Revelation describes Christ's feet as fine brass, it means brass refined in the furnace until it blazes -- not brass that is 'okay.'
