Digital Verbum Edition
The New Strong’s Concise Dictionary of the Words in the Greek Testament and The Hebrew Bible provides readers of the Bible a definition for each Greek or Hebrew word—the same words behind Strong’s Concordance. James Strong is best known for his Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, which introduced a numbering system—one number assigned to each word in the original language. This companion volume to Strong’s Concordance treats these words in their Greek order, numbered from first to last. The numbering system renders easy reference without the use of Greek characters. For each word in Strong’s Concise Dictionary, the translation, pronunciation, etymology, meaning, and significance of the word are given. Strong’s unique numbering system makes the meaning of the Greek words available for English-only Bible study.
