==Introduction==
Strong's Numbers enable people who do not know Greek or Hebrew to understand the meaning of words in the Bible.
The American Professor James Strong, 1822-1894, allocated a unique number to each word stem in the Greek New Testament and the Hebrew Old Testament. For example, if Strong's system had been applied to English, then "go" and "went" would have the same Strong's Number, because they are parts of the same verb - but "came" would have a separate number. Just to confirm, Strong's Numbers apply to Greek and Hebrew, not to English.
To find the meaning of a Bible word, there are two stages:-
#Look up the verse in a version of the English Bible which has every word labelled with the Strong's Number of its original Greek or Hebrew word. That gives the relevant Strong's Number.
#Look up that Strong's Number:-
@@Strong provides a definition of the Greek or Hebrew word, that is, of that Strong's Number.
@@Somewhere on the web, there will be a list of all Bible verses which include that Strong's Number.
@@Somewhere on the web, there will be a table of usual English translations, with the number of times each occurs.
It may be easiest to work on the world wide Web. For offline use, the Xiphos program can be used. The printed book, Strong's Concordance, is on sale.
Xiphos has the following statement, "Warning: If you live in a persecuted country and do not wish to risk detection you should NOT use the remote installation feature!" That probably applies to any work on the web.
