The KJV renders 3 different Hebrew and Greek words as “acquaintance”
What it means
well-known
from G1097 (γινώσκω);
How the KJV renders it
acquaintance, known, notable
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“known”
also renders phanerós (G5318)
