KJV DISTRIBUTION

Where ferry appears.

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

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.

No direct Strong's links were found for this exact KJV form.

That can legitimately happen with supplied/helper words or source-alignment cases. No original-language relationship is manufactured.

Strong's data is a concordance/lexical reference layer. Scripture context controls interpretation. Lexical source data is shown separately from future TWBC editorial teaching.

EVERY OCCURRENCE

Read the word in context.

1 occurrence match the current filters. Each row keeps its exact KJV token position so Original Word and TSK remain occurrence-specific.

3. The right of transporting passengers over a lake or stream. adjective B. owns the ferry at Windsor. [In New England, this word is used in the two latter senses.]
