BEWRAY . To bewray (from Anglo-Saxon prefix be and wregan , to accuse) is not the same as to betray (from be and Lat. tradere to deliver). To bewray, now obsolete, means in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] to make known, reveal, as Matthew 26:73 ‘thy speech bewrayeth thee.’ Adams ( Works , ii. 328) distinguishes the two words thus: ‘he … will not bewray his disease, lest he betray his credit.’ Sometimes, however, hewray is used in an evil sense, and is scarcely distinguishable from hetray. Cf. bewrayer in Malachi 4:1 Malachi 4:1 ‘a bewrayer of the money, and of his country.’
