The KJV renders 5 different Hebrew and Greek words as “flock”

What it means

an arrangement, i.e. muster (of animals)

from H5737 (עֲדַר);

How the KJV renders it

drove, flock, herd

Where that flattens a distinction

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

flock
also renders poímnē (G4167), poímnion (G4168), miqneh (H4735), mirʻîyth (H4830)
herd
also renders agélē (G34), bâqâr (H1241), miqneh (H4735)
