<p>When you click on a Strong's number, you receive several bits of information. We'll use the Hebrew Strong's Number 7225 from Genesis 1:1 for our example.</p>
|
|
<p>The picture below depicts the Hebrew entry for the Strong's number 7225. The numbers on the image correspond to the numbers below the image for explanation.</p>

<p><span class="rspan">1.</span> This shows what is called the lexical form. This is the Hebrew/Greek word uninflected in form.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="rspan">2.</span> Since most of our users are unable to read Greek and Hebrew, we give a simple pronunciation for each word.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="rspan">3.</span> Sometimes there are variant pronunciations to the Hebrew/Greek words.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="rspan">4.</span> Since many of our users have access to theological dictionaries in their personal library, we give the number for them to reference these tools. For the Old Testament, the number is tied to TWOT (Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament). For the New Testament, the number is tied to TDNT (Theological Dictionary of the New Testament). These are in-depth dictionaries dealing with the more important words of the Bible. Unfortunately we can not offer these tools on the Blue Letter Bible because they are both under copyright.</p>

<p><span class="rspan">5.</span> This marks the derivation of the given word. Not all words have a derivation.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="rspan">6.</span> This denotes the part of speech that the word is. It can be a noun, verb, preposition, etc.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="rspan">7.</span> The Outline of Biblical usage is the section that truly defines the word and its semantical range. Some words have a very complex definition, while others are quite short.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="rspan">8.</span> This shows how the Authorized Version, also known as the King James Version, translates the word in its various ways.</p>
