Identify the original Greek word
  1. The Hebrew-English Concordance is arranged according to G/K #. If you do not know the G/K # of your word, look in "The NIV English-Hebrew & Aramaic Index to the NIV Old Testament" near the back of the book, starting on page 1734. (You might need to look in the concordance to confirm that the Hebrew word you are looking at occurs in the passage you are studying.)
    • The index shows:
      1. NIV word
      2. NIV frequency
      3. G/K #
      4. transliteration
      5. frequency (total # of times this word is translated by the entry word in the NIV Old Testament)
    • Example (page 1911):
      1. LORD
      2. [315]
      3. Lord, 151
      4. adonay 
      5. [57]
  2. Look in "A Concise Hebrew-English Dictionary to the Old Testament" starting on page 2070. 
    • The dictionary shows:
      1. G/K #
      2. Hebrew/Aramaic word and transliteration
      3. concise definition (by verb stem codes)
      4. Strong's #
      5. BDB page
      6. Koehler Lexicon page
      7. Holladay Lexicon page
    • Example (page 1081):
      1. 151
      2. adonay
      3. the Lord, Sovereign
      4. S: 136

Create a list of every occurance
  • Unlike translation-based concordances (like the NIV or NASB), The Hebrew-English Concordance is arranged according to G/K # so you can see every occurrence of the Hebrew word, not the English word.

    1. G/K #
    2. Hebrew word, transliteration
    3. part of speech
    4. frequency count [BHS / NIV]
    5. list of related words (by G/K #)
    6. list of NIV translations in descending order of frequency
    7. list of references with some of the verse context for the word
  • Example (page 29):
    1. 151
    2. adonay
    3. n.[pr.]m.
    4. [442]
    5. 123
