Description of Strong's Classic Work
Strong's concise dictionary of Biblical Hebrew (including Aramaic as well), like his concordance, is a classic reference work for biblical studies in the English-speaking world and is accessible to the layperson. Each word in Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic is numbered, presented in Hebrew script and in transliteration and is accompanied by a pronunciation guide. Each word is defined in English, and the translation(s) of that word in the KJV are presented. Strong's work was originally published in 1890 under the title A Concise Dictionary of the Words in the Hebrew Bible; with their Renderings in the Authorized English Version. It was bound together with Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible.

Beautiful Hebrew in This E-Book

Superior Navigation Features in This E-Book
This digital edition of KJV (King James Version) Old Testament Bible with Strong's Markup and Dictionary recognizes that you do not generally read Bibles and dictionaries linearly. As a result, it makes use of all of the navigational capabilities on the various Nook devices, including the use of a two-tiered table of contents, allowing for rapid navigation to a particular book and chapter of the Bible or to an entry in Strong's dictionary by its first two letters.
You can navigate directly to a particular verse by searching for that verse using an abbreviated form of the book name and using spaces to separate the book name, chapter, and verse. For example, to navigate to Genesis 12:3, type "ge 12 3" in the Find box. Similarly, you can navigate directly to a particular entry in the dictionary by searching for that entry by Strong's number with "h" for Hebrew prepended to it. For example, to navigate to the entry for Strong's Hebrew #1234, simply type "h1234" in the Find box. Finally, you can navigate directly to a particular entry in the dictionary by searching for that entry in transliteration with "h " prepended to it. More details can be found in the preface.
