Ya.

Yes; a word that expresses affirmation or assent. Will you go? Yea. It sometimes introduces a subject, with the sense of indeed, verily, truly, itis so. Yea, hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree in the garden? Genesis 3:1. Let your communication be yea, yea; nayMatthew 5:37.

It sometimes enforces the sense of something preceding; not only so, but more. Therein I do rejoice; yea, and will rejoice. Philippians 1:18.

In Scripture, it is used to denote certainty, consistency, harmony, and stability. All the promises of God in him are yea, and in him are amen. Corinthians 1:20. Yea is used only in the sacred and solemn style.
