“Wycliffe Bible is Middle English”

Sense:

To unite in marriage.

c. 1382–1395, John Wycliffe [et al.], edited by Josiah Forshall and Frederic Madden, The Holy Bible, […], volume IV, Oxford: At the University Press, published 1850, →OCLC, I. Corinthians 7:38, page 351:

he that joineth his virgin in matrimony
1611, The Holy Bible, […] (King James Version), London: […] Robert Barker, […], →OCLC, Matthew 19:6:

What, therefore, God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

I moved the Wycliffe Bible quotation to a new entry Middle English joinen and removed {{rfc-sense}}. Do we really need the RFV? Vox Sciurorum (talk) 16:38, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some more cites; there probably should be enough now. Hazarasp (parlement · werkis) 11:31, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@J3133, Vox Sciurorum: The cleanup might be sufficient, for me it is (especially in this case as there is also an English cite and the sense's exitence is plausible and likely). --Schläsinger X (talk) 09:58, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
