- kwhitefoot 11y agoIt probably is the source of those particular words in Modern English in that particular arrangement. Something very close appears in Wycliffe's Bible and starts like this: Alle thingis han tyme, and alle thingis vndur sunne passen bi her spaces. See https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_%28Wycliffe%29/Ecclesiastes https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_%28Wycliffe%29/Ecclesia....
- hudibras 11y agoTo go one level deeper: It's actually an old Pete Seeger folk song. So the Byrds were covering a Pete Seeger song, who used lyrics by Ecclesiastes.
