There are phrases in Greek and Hebrew that don't directly translate into English, most versions of the Bible try to take what the translators beleiuve those phrases mean and give them their best English equivalent. Those versions are not strictly literal translations. If you take each word, and regardless of its context, give its translation, it may be a bit wonky to read, but it takes less liberties on the implied meaning.

A great example is the Greek word "Logos" which in is famously quoted in English, "In the Beginning was the Word"

In Greek that word they use instead of "Word" is Logos, which doesn't quite mean "Word"
In French, the word they use instead of word is "Verb"
>In the Beginning was the Verb.

However, all the words in the original Greek and Hebrew, have numerical values since Arabic Numerals were not in use at the time. And thus there is a number code with in the text it self.

The combination of Greek, Hebrew, and English is great.
The English is KJV and it's in the margins
Then it's just a word for word translation of the Hebrew or Greek
