How translations render this word
Counts come from each version’s own published word-to-Strong’s tagging or interlinear alignment — an approximate guide to how each version renders this word, not a word-level alignment the data otherwise carries. Because each total is that version’s own tagged count, the per-version totals vary from one another and need not match the appearance or distinct-verse counts above. These counts may also differ from a printed concordance because Lemma counts each distinctly tagged rendering and does not collapse phrase taggings into a single head-word total. This is a fixed set of word-tagged versions (KJV, ASV, BSB, ULT) and does not change with the reading translation you choose elsewhere. Each version’s license is shown beside its name below (and on Sources).

Word origin
Derived from προ (pró) (G4253) — before.
A strengthened form of G4253 ; a preposition of direction; forward to that is toward (with the genitive case the side of that is pertaining to ; with the dative case by the side of that is near to ; usually with the accusative case the place time occasion or respect which is the destination of the relation that is whither or for which it is predicated): - about according to against among at because of before between ([where-]) by for X at thy house in for intent nigh unto of which pertain to that to (the end that) + together to ([you]) -ward unto with (-in). In compounds it denotes essentially the same applications namely motion towards accession to or nearness at.

These are occurrences of the same Greek lexeme (G4314) in the Septuagint — not a translation of any one Hebrew word. The store carries no word-level Hebrew↔Greek alignment, so no Hebrew original is asserted here. 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.
