The KJV renders 7 different Hebrew and Greek words as “person”
What it means
ruddy i.e. a human being (an individual or the species, mankind, etc.)
from H119 (אָדַם);
How the KJV renders it
man mean, of low degree, person
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“person”
“of low degree”
also renders tapeinós (G5011)
