The KJV renders 3 different Hebrew and Greek words as “vow”
What it means
a promise (to God); also (concretely) a thing promised
or נֵדֶר; from H5087 (נָדַר);
How the KJV renders it
vow
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
Questions this word decides
- Was Jesus crucified on Wednesday or Friday?
- Does Colossians 2:16 abolish the Sabbath?
- Are head coverings commanded in worship?
- Does the Bible forbid drinking alcohol?
