By traditional corpus
Conventional, traditional groupings — biblical authorship is debated, so this is a traditional corpus grouping, not an authorship claim. Some books belong to more than one corpus (Luke is in both the Gospels and the Lukan corpus, and so on), so these shares overlap and need not total 100%. Each figure is a share of the word’s 1,338 distinct verses.
- Gospels 566 verses · 42%
- Pauline corpus 525 verses · 39%
- Lukan (Luke–Acts) 256 verses · 19%
- Johannine 194 verses · 14%
- General (Catholic) Epistles 121 verses · 9%
- Hebrews 28 verses · 2%

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).
- King James Version: Ye 229×, Do ye 3×, Thither ye 2×
- American Standard Version: Ye 220×, Do ye 4×

Septuagint occurrences (same lexeme)
Every verse where the same Strong’s number (G5210) appears in the Greek Septuagint. Verse text shown in the World English Bible for context; the Greek form is the matched word — the English is not keyword-highlighted.
- Jeremiah 41:17 ὑμεῖς and they departed, and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
- Jeremiah 51:2 ὑμεῖς I will send to Babylon strangers, who shall winnow her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
- Jeremiah 51:25 ὑμεῖς Behold, I am against you, destroying mountain, says Yahweh, which destroy all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand on you, and roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain.
These are occurrences of the same Greek lexeme (G5210) 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.
