Notice that there are now numbers appearing
between the words in the passage. These are the
Strong's numbers, named for an Exhaustive
Concordance developed by James Strong in 1890.
James Strong indexed all of the words of the Bible,
and included a lexicon with his concordance, so that
Bible students would be able to look up the meaning
of the original Hebrew or Greek word used in any
given passage.

and pronunciation of
that word. There is
also a link to the root
word, and a link to
another dictionary that
will give an expanded
definition of the word.

In the case of Hebrew words, this link (TWOT) is to the Theological
Wordbook of the Old Testament, by Harris, Archer and Waltke, published
in 1980 by Moody Press. It utilizes its own index, but the window in the
Online Bible contains the TWOT index number, to make it easier for the
student to find. (NOTE: This resource is currently available online as an
add-on module for some Bible software programs.)

In the case of Greek words, the window would contain a link (TDNT) to
the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, by Geoffrey
Bromiley, published by Eerdmans in 1985. It utilizes the Strong's
index number, but the volume and page number is provided in the
Online Bible window for those with access to the multi-volume version,
and the page number for those using the abridged version. (NOTE:
