The KJV renders 8 different Hebrew and Greek words as “next”
What it means
betwixt (of place or person); (of time) as adjective, intervening, or (by implication) adjoining
from G3326 (μετά) and a form of G4862 (σύν);
How the KJV renders it
between, mean while, next
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
