Small revisions. Added a picture of a page of the printed Concordance.
(2) Look up that Strong's Number. There will be a definition of the Greek or Hebrew word. Also, there will be a list of all Bible verses which include that Strong's Number - and 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.
==How to use Strong's Numbers—an example==
Googling "Strong's Greek 2186 Biblestudytools" gives the information that, in the King James Version, 2186 is translated "to stand" 6 times but "to come", instead, 10 times (excluding miscellaneous items). Likewise, in the New American Standard version, "to stand" is used only 6 times out of 21.
Googling "Strong 2186 Greek" gives a page of the BibleHub website, which shows that 2186 is a composite verb "epiHistemiepHistemi", that is, "to uponStand". Compare the English verb "to underStand", which, in modern usage, does not relate to standing.
Googling "Strong 2186 Greek" also gives a page of the BibleTools website, which shows that 2186 is used only 21 times, almost always in Luke or Acts, and its first instance is Luke 2:9, "the angel of the Lord came upon them". The last instance in the Gospel of Luke is the current verse.
So it now looks as though the verb 2186 cannot be the ordinary verb "to stand", that 2186 may imply angels and that it certainly does not usually mean "to stand".

A similar free app for mobile phones is "MySword Bible" from Galaxy Store. That gives the Strong's Number look-up and also a Thayer and a Strong's definition for each Strong's Number. ==The printed book—Strong's Concordance==[[Image:Strong_1899_p425.jpg|thumb|A page of Strong's 1899 Concordance, which also contains a list of definitions of each of the Strong's Numbers.]]The printed book is available from booksellers. It is arranged as a Concordance, that is, an alphabetical list of the words in the English Bible. For each English word, each occurrence is listed in order of its Bible reference and is labelled with the Strong's Number of the original Greek or Hebrew word. At the end of the book is the list of Strong's definitions of the Greek and Hebrew Strong's Number word-stems.
