The meaning of Or in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

or: The word is used once for either (I Samuel 26:10), and is still in poetic use in this sense; as in, "Without or wave or wind" (Coleridge); "Or the bakke or some bone he breketh in his dzouthe" (Piers Plowman (B), VII, 93; compare Merchant of Venice, III, ii, 65). It is also used with "ever" for before (Psalms 90:2; Ecclesiasticus 18:19), which the American Standard Revised Version substitutes in Ecclesiastes 12:6 (compare Ecclesiastes 12:1-2); Song of Solomon 6:12; Daniel 6:24.
