The KJV renders 13 different Hebrew and Greek words as “deceive”
What it means
to open, i.e. be (causatively, make) roomy; usually figuratively (in a mental or moral sense) to be (causatively, make) simple or (in a sinister way) delude
a primitive root;
How the KJV renders it
allure, deceive, enlarge, entice, flatter, persuade, silly
Where that flattens a distinction
