do any of the KJB English "would to God""wouuld God" or "God forbid" have the word God in the source Greek or Hebrew texts

No, the KJV phrases "would to God," "would God," and "God forbid" generally do not contain the word "God" in the original Hebrew or Greek texts. They are English idiomatic translations added by translators to express a strong emotional, wishful, or negative sentiment.
  • "God forbid" (e.g., Romans 3:4): In the Greek text, this is me genoito (literally, "let it not be" or "by no means"). It contains neither "God" nor "forbid."
  • "Would to God" / "Would God" (e.g., Exodus 16:3): In the Hebrew text, this often corresponds to the phrase lu or mi yitten (meaning "O that" or "if only").
  • Reason for Inclusion: These phrases were included by translators to add emphasis and to render the phrase in a more natural English idiom of that time, often substituting for more literal, but less expressive, expressions.
