The KJV renders 36 different Hebrew and Greek words as “take”
What it means
to admit (to intercourse, hospitality, credence, or (figuratively) endurance); by implication, to await (with confidence or patience)
from G4314 (πρός) and G1209 (δέχομαι);
How the KJV renders it
accept, allow, look for, take
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
