Browse those occurrences →This is exact English-word usage from the canonical KJV token index, not a Strong's estimate.
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.
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.
1 occurrence match the current filters. Each row keeps its exact KJV token position so Original Word and TSK remain occurrence-specific.
