Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, first published in 1890 by Dr. James Strong, assigns a unique number to every original Greek or Hebrew word behind the King James Version — "G" for Greek (New Testament) and "H" for Hebrew (Old Testament). Looking up a word's number lets you see its literal meaning, how else it gets translated elsewhere in the KJV, and how it's actually used — without needing to learn Greek or Hebrew yourself. This page covers the full dictionary: 5,523 Greek words and 8,674 Hebrew words.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Strong's number?
A reference number (like G26 or H2388) assigned to every distinct original-language word in the Bible, so the same Greek or Hebrew word can be traced across every place it's translated in the KJV.
Is this the same as reading Greek or Hebrew?
No — it's a study aid that surfaces the original word's definition and usage in plain English, without requiring you to learn either language.
Do you have every word in the Bible?
Yes — the full Strong's dictionary is here, all 14,197 Greek and Hebrew entries. Search above by number, transliteration, or an English word from the definition.
