"You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.", Deuteronomy 4:2
"...if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.", Galatians 1:9-10
The apostle Paul could not give the Galatians the New enacted Testament gospel, and the still active laws of God from the Old Testament, using the Hebrew language, he had to speak to them in their native tongue.
Due to language differences, no translation can be "word for word" as it would not make sense to those of other languages.
Changes in language over the centuries within the English language alone and rules of grammar dictate certain differences for the purpose of the smooth flow in thought while seeking to preserve the intent.
You have the scripture which states, God's word is unchanging. "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle [a tiny mark in the original spelling of a word] will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.", Matthew 5:18
God's word will stand forever. "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.", Isaiah 40:8
So, on what basis do you think that the Word has changed? If you think that "anyone" purposely changed the Divine Intent within the inspired holy Bible, then provide your textual proof.
As the saying goes, "put up, or shut up".

@grnlow- you must of been in a hurry, the text you mention about the stones used for the Ephod is not Exodus 22:28, it's Exodus 28:19.
There are other errors in your post. Apparently your information is faulty, or, you have no regard for accuracy.
Blue Letter Bible.org uses the KJV-
Exodus 28:19, And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
On that website, The Strong's and Hebrew Root Form indicates that "ligure" is H3958 לֶשֶׁם leshem.
QBible.com shows that KJV1769, AVOKJB1611, and Brenton Greek Septuagint, all have "ligure".
Also on that website, Hebrew Bible/OT Massoretic Text, Hebrew Bible Transliteration have לֶשֶׁם leshem.
Net.Bible.org Parallel shows that NIV, NASB, ESV, NLT, BBE, NKJV, NRSV, KJV all have the same verse. Some use "ligure", the others use (orange) "Jacinth".
Biblehub.com Parallel shows that HCSB, ISV, GWT, KJ2000, AKJV, DBT, ERV, WBT, WEB all have the same verse.
JB2000 has "And the third order, a topaz, a turquoise, and an amethyst."
YLT has "and the third row is opal, agate, and amethyst."
