The KJV renders 13 different Hebrew and Greek words as “deceive”

from G4106 (πλάνη);
How the KJV renders it
go astray, deceive, err, seduce, wander, be out of the way
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“deceive”
“be out of the way”
also renders tâʻâh (H8582)
Questions this word decides
