LET. In Anglo-Saxon lætan meant ‘to permit’ and lettan , ‘to hinder.’ In course of time both words were spelled ‘let.’ Consequently in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , besides its modern meaning of ‘permit,’ the vb. ‘let’ sometimes has the opposite meaning of ‘hinder.’ Thus 2 Thessalonians 2:7 , ‘only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.’ The other places are Exodus 5:4 , Numbers 22:16 m, Isaiah 43:13 , Wis 7:22 , Romans 1:13 .
