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

What it means

to enter; causatively, to introduce

(Aramaic) corresponding to H5953 (עָלַל) (in the sense of thrusting oneself in),

How the KJV renders it

bring in, come in, go in

Where that flattens a distinction

come in
also renders epérchomai (G1904), ephístēmi (G2186), eisporeúomai (G1531), eisérchomai (G1525)
bring in
also renders eiságō (G1521)
go in
also renders eisérchomai (G1525)
