Beforetime the state of having nothing is the first style. When we have abundant things, it becomes the second one.

原来没东西的状态是第一种，有东西、东西丰富了是第二种，然后呢就是吃饱了撑的，这可能就是第三种。

Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a seer.

从前以色列中，若有人去问神，就说，我们问先见去吧。现在称为先知的，从前称为先见。

And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.

耶和华赐给以色列人一位拯救者，使他们脱离亚兰人的手。于是以色列人仍旧安居在家里。
