The KJV renders 8 different Hebrew and Greek words as “ground”
What it means
dust (as powdered or gray); hence, clay, earth, mud
from H6080 (עָפַר);
How the KJV renders it
ashes, dust, earth, ground, morter, powder, rubbish
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“ground”
“earth”
“powder”
also renders ʼăbâqâh (H81)
Questions this word decides
