Dynamic Equivalence In KJV

God forbid! There is dynamic equivalence in KJV!

Easter for Passover
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. (Acts 12:4 KJV)

Diana for Artemis
And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. (Acts 19:28 KJV)

God forbid
By the way, "God forbid" is not found in the original languages of the Bible. Is it found in KJV? May it never be!
