The KJV renders 4 different Hebrew and Greek words as “exact”
What it means
to lend or (by reciprocity) borrow on security or interest
a primitive root (rather identical with H5382 (נָשָׁה), in the sense of H5378 (נָשָׁא));
How the KJV renders it
creditor, exact, extortioner, lend, usurer, lend on usury
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“lend”
“creditor”
also renders daneistḗs (G1157)
