Have or has...?

Hello,

Please tell me why we say: ...the salt have lost his savour.... (and not: ...the salt has lost his savour...)

in this verse in the Bible (Matthew 5:13 - KJV):

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have (?) lost his (?) savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Thank you for your help!
