If your computer does not have Hebrew and Greek fonts installed, this page may not display properly. Notice that the entire verse is shown in Hebrew. Every word is shown with its equivalent Strong’s index number, the Hebrew root form of the word, and, in the case of verbs, the tense. If you click on the Strong’s number, the definition of the word will be displayed. UTILIZING THE BLUE LETTER BIBLE: Slide 8 of 18
