The KJV renders 8 different Hebrew and Greek words as “strange”
What it means
another's, i.e. not one's own; by extension foreign, not akin, hostile
from G243 (ἄλλος);
How the KJV renders it
alien, another man's, men's, strange
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“strange”
“men's”
also renders anthrṓpinos (G442)
