KJV DISTRIBUTION

Where Rufus appears.

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

Mark 11 verses Romans 11 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.

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

No Webster 1828 entry was found for this exact KJV form or its conservative base-form candidates.
