The KJV renders 7 different Hebrew and Greek words as “age”
What it means
properly, a revolution of time, i.e. an age or generation; also a dwelling
or (shortened) דֹּר; from H1752 (דּוּר);
How the KJV renders it
age, generation, never, posterity
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“age”
“generation”
“posterity”
also renders shᵉʼêrîyth (H7611)
