The KJV renders 6 different Hebrew and Greek words as “carry away”
What it means
{to denude (especially in a disgraceful sense); by implication, to exile (captives being usually stripped); figuratively, to reveal}
(Aramaic) or גְּלָא; (Aramaic), corresponding to H1540 (גָּלָה)
How the KJV renders it
bring over, carry away, reveal
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“carry away”
“reveal”
“bring over”
also renders ʻâbar (H5674)
