KJV DISTRIBUTION

Where Bela appears.

This is exact English-word usage from the canonical KJV token index, not a Strong's estimate.

Genesis 44 verses Numbers 22 verses 1 Chronicles 77 verses
ORIGINAL-LANGUAGE MAP

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.
