Which Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek words stand behind this KJV word?
These relationships come from exact verse + token-position mappings. We do not assume that one English spelling always equals one Strong's number. A single English token can also carry more than one source tag, so the Strong's-link total can exceed the number of English occurrences.

Behold the lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29.
2. In a less intensive sense, to look upon; to see.
When he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. Numbers 21:1.
BEHO'LD, verb intransitive To look; to direct the eyes to an object.
And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne, a lamb, as it had been slain. Revelation 5:5.
1. To fix the attention upon an object; to attend; to direct or fix the mind.
