'Hast' is the old English form or biblical form of 'have'. It is used with 'thou' which we no longer use in English, except in certain regional dialects, especially Yorkshire or Lancashire.

'Thou hast' means 'you have' but used on its own without 'thou', 'hast' is meaningless.

In French, it would be 'tu

as' and in German 'du

hast' but these are still used as a modern familiar form of 'you'. It is used when speaking to children or animals, or a very good friend. However, in English, apart from dialects, it is not used today in educated

speech.
