Frequently Asked Questions

What is Strong's Concordance?
Strong's Concordance is a reference system created by James Strong in 1890 that assigns a unique number to every Hebrew and Greek word used in the Bible. It allows you to study the original-language meaning of any word without knowing Hebrew or Greek.
How do the Strong's numbers work?
Each number maps to one original-language word. Numbers starting with H (e.g., H1) refer to Hebrew words from the Old Testament. Numbers starting with G (e.g., G3056) refer to Greek words from the New Testament.
What information does each entry contain?
Each entry shows the Strong's number, the original Hebrew or Greek word (lemma), its transliteration, pronunciation, derivation from related words, a definition, and how the King James Version translates it.
How can I look up a word?
You can search by Strong's number (e.g., H1, G3056), by the original Hebrew/Greek word, or by an English keyword. The search checks numbers, lemmas, and definitions.
What is the difference between Strong's definition and KJV usage?
The Strong's definition explains the fundamental meaning of the word in its original language. The KJV usage shows all the different English words the King James Version uses to translate that single Hebrew or Greek word.
How does this tool relate to the Concordance?
The Biblical Concordance shows where English words appear in the Bible. Strong's Lexicon goes deeper by revealing the original Hebrew or Greek word behind each English word, often uncovering nuances lost in translation.
Can I see related words?
Yes. The derivation field shows which other Strong's numbers are related, and the tool displays clickable links to those entries. This helps you trace word families and understand how related concepts connect in the original languages.
Is Strong's Concordance still relevant today?
Absolutely. Despite being over 130 years old, Strong's numbering system remains the standard reference for original-language Bible study. Modern scholars, pastors, and students worldwide continue to use it as a bridge between English translations and the Hebrew/Greek texts.
