James Strong (1822–1894) was an American Methodist biblical scholar and educator, and the creator of Strong's Concordance. "Strong's numbering" of Greek and Hebrew words, have dominated the enumeration of such words in Bible study helps to the present day.

For the concordance, Strong numbered every Hebrew or Greek root word which was found, for ease of reference. This numbering system (8674 Hebrew roots and 5523 Greek roots) is now widely used and can be used with many translations, often in conjunction with other Bible study tools. Unlike other Biblical reference books, the purpose of Strong's Concordance is not to provide content or commentary about the Bible, but to provide an index to the Bible. It lets the reader directly compare how the same word may be used elsewhere in the Bible. In this way Strong provides an independent check against translations, and offers an opportunity for greater, and more technically accurate understanding of text.

The genius of using Strongs work with Words R Us is that since the meanings of all the Greek and Hebrew words are numbered and identified, we can partner his work with any language and Bible translation to see the true meaning of the underlying concepts.

Strong's work was originally published in 1890 under the title A Concise Dictionary of the Words in the Greek New Testament; with their Renderings in the Authorized English Version. It was bound together with Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible.

Strong's dictionary of Biblical Greek, like his concordance and dictionary of Biblical Hebrew, is a classic reference work for biblical studies. Each word in Biblical Greek is presented in Greek and in transliteration and is accompanied by a pronunciation guide. Each word is numbered and defined, and the translation(s) of that word in the King James Version are presented.

Greek Words with Transliteration

This digital edition of Strong's classic work is distinctive in presenting the Greek in Greek script and transliteration as well as giving a pronunciation guide.

Superior Navigation Features when used with Words R Us

This digital edition of Strong's Greek Dictionary recognizes that you do not generally read dictionaries linearly. As a result, there are four options provided for powerful and rapid navigation.

First, there is a fully interactive Table of Contents accessible. Links for Greek words beginning with each letter of the alphabet are provided, along with the Strong's numbers for that Greek letter. Clicking on a link provides you with another hyperlinked list of two-letter combinations beginning the word along with the Strong's numbers for those two-letter combinations.

Second, when you are reading, clicking the left and righ hand pointers will navigate to the next and previous words.

Third, you can navigate directly to a particular glossary entry by clicking on Index in the menu and typing in the letter "g" for "Greek" followed by the Strong's number for that entry. For example, to navigate to the entry for Strong's #1234, simply type "g1234" into the text box.

Fourth, you can navigate directly to a particular glossary entry by clicking on Index in the menu and typing in the Greek word using the SBL transliteration scheme used for the transliterations in this book, leaving off any diacritics and using all lower-case. For example, to navigate to the entry for Strong's #124, Αἴγυπτος Aígyptos, simply type "aigyptos" in the text box.
