There are actually vast differences
between different versions, and they often are around relatively common words.
for example...
Leviticus 25:44 from the Revised Standard
44: As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are round about you.
but in the King James Version...
44: Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
There can be vastly different means given to the terms Bondsman and Slave.
This is particularly important because at the time the King James Version was written, slavery was quite common and certainly well known.
