The KJV renders 3 different Hebrew and Greek words as “rushing”
What it means
vibration, bounding, uproar
from H7493 (רָעַשׁ);
How the KJV renders it
commotion, confused noise, earthquake, fierceness, quaking, rattling, rushing, shaking
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“commotion”
also renders akatastasía (G181)
“earthquake”
also renders seismós (G4578)
“fierceness”
also renders thymós (G2372)
“quaking”
also renders chărâdâh (H2731)
