On the specific structure involved in the actual acts of forgiveness and pardon, as depicted in ancient times up to modern times and from the Bible, and Westminster Confession of Faith.

In any time of the year and even through-out the history of mankind over the past six thousand years, the word foregiveness, has been the usual name for how to fore give a person a debt that another person owed you, either it was a debt of money, or a debt of harm the other person had done directly to you or to a member of your family. And in the traditional use of the word Foregive, from olden times as the word has been translated from the Ancient Greek, and Latin and Hebrew and German languages it was spelled as to Fore give; which placed it in the form of an announcement by the person being offended or hurt, or harmed either physically or financially or in marital circumstances, or against you or your estate in any way, that you are letting go of your right to have the person prosecuted by law or by family or by the town elders or by the clergy, or by the local and high courts of the land. And in our times the word has been shortened by the removal of the letter “e” at the end of the word Forte; by which we now usually read the word as thus “forgive, and forgiveness.” The meaning also has changed in its application from the olden days to our century to mean the following as the dictionary definition from the on-line dictionary says this about the word forgiveness:

  1. To excuse for a fault or an offense; waive away your rights to restitution for harms done to mean pardon.
  2. To renounce anger or resentment against the offender voluntarily.
  3. To absolve from payment of (a debt, for example) voluntarily. v.intr. To accord forgiveness.

for·giva·ble adj. for·giva·bly adv. for·giver n. Synonyms: forgive, pardon, excuse, condone: These verbs mean to refrain from imposing punishment on an offender or demanding satisfaction for an offense. The first three can be used as conventional ways of offering apology.”

Where in previous and ancient times, including the times of Noah and Abraham, and since, of the Bible, the words “to foregive and or foregiveness” meant to allow the person the opportunity to escape the death penalty, or imprisonment, or a whip lashing, or from being exiled from out of the society in which every one lived; without giving up ones right to justice if it is required by the offended or harmed man or woman or parents of the child, or owners of the business, or cattle or land.
