Thank you for your assistance.

Hi,

But you don't give me the reason why to use [to] and [unto].

If I try to give it and ask you to right me.

[ye come to the waters]----the waters as an intended aim towards which your coming is directed;

-----to the waters, unto your coming

[come unto me]-----

With your willing, come unto me.-----to your willing of coming, unto being in me;

I have already told you that your way of analysis is misguided, bepleased.

In Biblical (and other archaic) English, unto = to = in the direction of. That is all.
