The KJV renders 33 different Hebrew and Greek words as “come”
What it means
to come near or aside, i.e. to approach (arrive), go by (or away), (figuratively) perish or neglect, (causative) avert
from G3844 (παρά) and G2064 (ἔρχομαι);
How the KJV renders it
come, pass away, over, past, transgress
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
