Oh...that was an eye opener, I read a couple of other translations and the King James is the only one to say linen yarn. Mmm, I wonder how on earth those 17th century geniuses arrived at that then? Thankyou Michael.

Chris,
They look alike but I think what you are looking at are actually three words.
1 Kings 10:28 has the conjunction ו , the preposition מן , and the name of a cityְ קוה ְ translated variously as Keveh or Kue. I don't know where they got linen from.
Jeremiah 3:17 is obviously a verb form of the word for gather. And Genesis 1:10, מקוה , is a word meaning a gathering place or a pool.
Sincerely,
Michael Abernathy
