גְּלָה

gᵉlâh · Hebrew · Strong's H1541 · 9 occurrences

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.

also renders metoikízō (G3351), apágō (G520), ṭûwl (H2904), massâʼ (H4853), nᵉsâʼ (H5376)
reveal
