The KJV renders 15 different Hebrew and Greek words as “substance”

What it means

there is or are (or any other form of the verb to be, as may suit the connection)

perhaps from an unused root meaning to stand out, or exist; entity; used adverbially or as a copula for the substantive verb (H1961 (הָיָה));

How the KJV renders it

are, shall, there, there may, there shall, there should be, thou do, had, hast, hath, shalt, that have, there is, substance, it was, were, ye will, thou wilt, wouldest

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
