The KJV renders 18 different Hebrew and Greek words as “cause”
What it means
a cause (as if asked for), i.e. (logical) reason (motive, matter), (legal) crime (alleged or proved)
from the same as G154 (αἰτέω);
How the KJV renders it
accusation, case, cause, crime, fault, where
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“cause”
“fault”
“case”
also renders dâbâr (H1697)
