BLB Lexicon Page

The BLB Lexicon page is inclusive of several different language resources that aid the study of each Strong's word referenced in the Old and New Testaments.

1. Greek/Hebrew word - In this area the selected word referenced by the given Strong's number will be displayed in its lexical form and in the characters of its original language.

2. Transliteration/Pronunciation - The English transliteration of the Greek or Hebrew word is provided here followed by a phonetical pronunciation guide and audio pronunciation.

3. Part of Speech - The Part of Speech indicates a word's grammatical status.
4. Root Word (Etymology) - If there is a root word associated with Strong's entry it will be provided in this section.

5. Greek Inflections - Each inflected form of the Strong's word in the Greek New Testament is located here.

6. Dictionary Aids - This section gives reference citations relevant to the TDNT or TWOT depending on whether the word is Greek or Hebrew, respectively.
   • TDNT stands for Theological Dictionary of the New Testament.
   • TWOT stands for Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament.

   Each of these two resources are relatively recent works whose copyrights are still in force and therefore, cannot be found on BLB. We provide these citations for those of our users who do make use of the two reference works in their personal libraries.

   We also list Vine's entries and Trench's Synonyms in this area.
