nokrîy · Hebrew · Strong's H5237 · 45 occurrences
The KJV renders 7 different Hebrew and Greek words as “woman”
What it means
strange, in a variety of degrees and applications (foreign, non-relative, adulterous, different, wonderful)
from H5235 (נֶכֶר) (second form);
How the KJV renders it
alien, foreigner, outlandish, stranger, woman
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“woman”
“stranger”
“foreigner”
also renders pároikos (G3941)
Where it appears
45 occurrences in the Hebrew text.
