The King James Version (KJV) Bible with Strong’s Numbers is a specialized study edition of the 1769 Authorized Version that embeds unique numerical codes next to English words. These codes correspond to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek root words from which the English translation was derived. This tool allows readers with no knowledge of ancient languages to access the original meanings of biblical text instantly.
The Strong’s Concordance is an exhaustive index of the King James Version (KJV) Bible, originally published in 1890 under the direction of Dr. James Strong. It assigns a unique reference number, known as a Strong’s number, to every original-language word (Hebrew or Greek) underlying the KJV text.
Key Features and Usage:
- Numbering System: There are 8,674 Hebrew root words in the Old Testament (prefixed with H) and 5,624 Greek root words in the New Testament (prefixed with G). These numbers allow readers to trace the original language word behind any English KJV word.
- Study Tool: The concordance serves as an index rather than a commentary, enabling users to compare how a single original word is translated in different contexts across Scripture.
- Accessibility: It was designed to allow English readers to access the meaning of Hebrew and Greek words without needing fluency in those languages.
While powerful for word studies, Strong’s numbers do not replace professional translation or contextual analysis, as they do not account for figures of speech, cultural idioms, or historical nuances.
