The Meaning of Words in the Bible

In the course of studying the bible we came across a few websites that we found useful in searching deeper into the scriptures.  One is the online King James Bible (thekingsbible.com) which includes a searchable dictionary and concordance.  The other is simply called Bible Meanings; www.biblemeanings.info. It can be searched by book, scripture or word and employs a combination of different techniques used for studying scripture. 

​

1. The principal of First Mention (a/k/a The First Mention Principal)"

This is based on the idea that the initial discussion of any subject in the Bible has a special significance.

​

2. Exegesis (investigation of the original meaning of a text within its context):

Comprehending and analyzing both the literary and cultural context of Biblical verses and then using them to compare with similar verses found elsewhere in Scripture to determine its true meaning.

​

We have found the use of these websites helps to give us the clearest meaning of words in the bible.  Hopefully, you  will find them as useful as we do.
