The KJV renders 22 different Hebrew and Greek words as “bear”
What it means
to produce (from seed, as a mother, a plant, the earth, etc.), literally or figuratively
a strengthened form of a primary (which is used only as alternate in certain tenses);
How the KJV renders it
bear, be born, bring forth, be delivered, be in travail
Where that flattens a distinction
