Interesting. The text also shows (whether just Old Testament or both Old and New) the problem of proper translation. The Old Testament is translated from ancient Hebrew whereas the New Testament was written for the most part (if not totally) in a form of Greek so that several different words more often than not are translated to be the same word in English due to the fact that they have similar (but not necessarily identical) meaning. And of course some words are just anglified versions of the original since no English word quite fits as the equivalent in translation.
