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.

2. The soul of a deceased person; the soul or spirit separate from the body; an apparition.

To give up the ghost is to die; to yield up the breath or spirit; to expire.

The Holy ghost is the third person in the adorable Trinity.

GHOST, verb intransitive To die; to expire.

GHOST, verb transitive To haunt with an apparition.
