kᵉthâb · Hebrew · Strong's H3792 · 12 occurrences

The KJV renders 4 different Hebrew and Greek words as “writing”

What it means

{something written, i.e. a writing, record or book}

(Aramaic) corresponding to H3791 (כָּתָב)

How the KJV renders it

prescribing, writing

Where that flattens a distinction

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

writing
also renders biblíon (G975), grámma (G1121), miktâb (H4385)
