The KJV renders 39 different Hebrew and Greek words as “give”
What it means
properly, to toss violently and suddenly (the sea with waves, the skin with boils); figuratively (in a favorable manner) to settle, i.e. quiet; specifically, to wink (from the motion of the eye-lids)
a primitive root;
How the KJV renders it
break, divide, find ease, be a moment, cause, give, make to rest, make suddenly
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
