Add a related word

Related by a shared root or a shared gloss word — not necessarily by meaning.

Note: you chose to compare these words. Lemma shows each word’s own meaning and usage; it does not claim they mean the same thing or that one translates the other.

Verses that use both words

Add a second word above to see the verses that use more than one of your words.

Each word in context

A sample of each word — one verse from each of the first books it appears in. The original-language form is the matched word; the English is not keyword-highlighted (the data carries no word-level English alignment). Follow “full concordance” for every verse.
