DEEP KJV WORD STUDY

Where fishers appears.

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

Isaiah 11 verses Jeremiah 11 verses Ezekiel 11 verses Matthew 22 verses Mark 22 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.

WEBSTER’S 1828

English meaning and historical usage.

Dictionary data is kept visibly separate from Scripture and from lexical Strong's data.

fisher

FISH'ER, n

1. One who is employed in catching fish.

2. A species of weasel.

Noah Webster, An American Dictionary of the English Language (1828). A conservative base-form lookup may be used when the exact inflected KJV form is not a Webster headword.
