The word "vegetables" had not been coined yet in 1611, so it will not find it in the King James translation. Instead the older words "green herbs" are used. You will find vegetables in newer translation made after the word was created.

Severe mental retardation was not an adopted phrase in psychology until 1584 years after the Bible was compiled.
Vegetable is a relatively modern slang term for imbecile or permanantly comatose patient, and was unknown by the writers of sacred writ.

No..it is an English word and the Bible was not written in English.. and.. the word was probably not coined until after the Bible was translated.

Look, Dinosaurs were not on the earth, what, 6,000 years ago. They were not killed by the flood, nor were they on the ark. They did not roam with "Adam & Eve". They lived millions of years ago. K?

Nope.
I wonder why God created Man in His own image, but neglected to mention that He'd previously done the same for Chimpanzee.

You see, centuries ago, when the Earth was flat, it really wasn't deep enough to firmly plant any vegetables, they would just fall off through the bottom into Hell (or whatever was down there - I can't remember the details)

Noah lived to be how old without eating his vegetable? How about Methuselah?

The bible was not written in English. So, technically, none of our words are there.

Do you mean that vegetables did not exist in biblical times?
