An older expression for a plural form of you, similar to "you all". Ye appears throughout the King James Bible, such as in Matthew 6:33;
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
Ye rhymes with "bee", "see", and "three".
Outside of the bible, Ye was also used in place of The, as in "Ye Olde Tavern", believed to derive from a character (the letter thorn) no longer in use, that meant the same thing as "th".
