These are occurrences of the same Greek lexeme (G2729) in the Septuagint — not a translation of any one Hebrew word.

Counts come from the recovered LXX Strong's tagging — high-frequency vocabulary is well covered, while rare or late forms may be untagged — so they reflect tagged occurrences and may slightly undercount.
