Those aren't mistranslations, a mistranslation is an error in the translation,
an example of a mistranslation would be translating "seed" to meant "race", they aren't even close to the same thing.
The NIV however

You do realise that the KJV is over 80% word-for-word identical to the Geneva Bible, right?

The reason behind this is because if you read up on why and how the KJV was translated into English there was a good enough reason for it not to be translated. Because there is notable mistranslations in the KJV.

It doesn't matter what it was translated from.... it was primitive shit to begin with and no amount of tinkering was going to make it better.

One would think those primitive religions would have died off.
