DEEP KJV WORD STUDY

Thieves

Begin with the exact English word as it appears in the King James Bible. Follow its whole-Bible usage, book distribution, related indexed forms, Webster 1828, every occurrence, and the occurrence-specific Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek mappings behind it.

KJV DISTRIBUTION

Where thieves appears.

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

Isaiah 11 verses Jeremiah 22 verses Obadiah 11 verses Matthew 55 verses Mark 22 verses Luke 33 verses John 11 verses 1 Corinthians 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

Read the word in context.

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

Jeremiah 48:27
H1590

For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.

Jeremiah 49:9
H1590

If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.

English meaning and historical usage.

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

thief

THIEF, noun plural thieves.

1. One who secretly, unlawfully and feloniously takes the goods or personal property of another. The thief takes the property of another privately; the robber by open force.

2. One who takes the property of another wrongfully, either secretly or by violence. Job 30:5.

3. One who seduces by false doctrine. John 10:1.

4. One who makes it his business to cheat and defraud; as a den of thieves. Matthew 21:1.

5. An excrescence in the snuff of a candle.
