The KJV renders 8 different Hebrew and Greek words as “next”
What it means
near (in place, kindred or time)
or קָרֹב; from H7126 (קָרַב);
How the KJV renders it
allied, approach, at hand, kinsfold, near, neighbour, next, nigh, more ready, short
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“next”
“neighbour”
“at hand”
also renders engýs (G1451)
“nigh”
also renders qᵉrêb (H7127)
