Strong's Concordance is James Strong's exhaustive concordance of the Bible, originally published in 1890. It assigns a unique number to every original Greek and Hebrew word in the Bible, making it the standard reference tool for studying the Bible in its original languages. Strong's numbers allow you to trace every occurrence of a specific word throughout scripture.

Question 2

How do I use Strong's numbers to study the Bible?

Accepted Answer

To use Strong's Concordance, find the English word you want to study in your Bible. Look up its Strong's number in the concordance, then use that number to find the original Greek or Hebrew word and its definition. This reveals the true meaning of the word and shows you every place it appears in the Bible, helping you understand how ancient writers used language and what nuances are lost in translation.

Question 3

What is the difference between Strong's Concordance and an interlinear Bible?

Accepted Answer

Strong's Concordance is a reference index organized by word and Strong's number, used to look up terms and their occurrences. An interlinear Bible displays the original Hebrew or Greek text alongside a word-by-word English translation, showing how each original word was translated. Gospel Daily's interlinear reader integrates Strong's numbers with the text, giving you both tools in one seamless interface.
