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).
BDB lists this Strong’s number as 2 distinct words (homographs). Each count above pools all of them and is not split by sense — see the Senses section below. A low-frequency rendering may belong to a different one of those words, not the primary meaning.

- 3. introducing a climax, yea, especially in a rhetorical style, Gn 27:33 Dt 23:3, 4 Ju 5:4(×2) Is 13:3; 14:8; 43:13 yea, from to-day I am the same, 44:12 גַּם רָעֵב yea, he is hungry, and has no strength, 47:3; 48:8(×3); 57:7 Je 46:16; 48:2; 51:44 Ho 7:9 ψ 41:10; 84:7; 139:12; Is 66:8 כִּי־חָ֫לָה גַּם־יָֽלְדָה, צִיּוֹן אֶת־בָּנֶיהָ, Je 5:28; 12:2 Ez 24:5 Jb 21:7 Ct 8:1: emphasizing an extreme, or aggravated, case, yea, even, Is 49:15 yea, these may forget, Je 8:17 yea, the stork knoweth, etc., Is 23:12 גַּם שָׁם even there no rest shall be for thee (so ψ 139:10), 49:25; 57:6 Je 23:11 b Mal 3:15 ψ 84:4. e.g. Genesis 27:33
- 4. expressing correspondence, especially in the matter of retribution (the גַּם correlativum), so frequently גַּם אֲנִי, גַּם אָנֹכִי I also (on my part):—Gn 20:6 I also [as well as thyself] know that thou hast done this innocently, Jos 24:18 Ju 2:21 1 S 1:28 (cf. Dr) 28:22 גַּם אַתָּה thou also (as I have done v 21), 2 S 12:13 י׳ also [responding to thy confession] hath removed thy sin, 2 K 2:3, 5 Is 31:2; 66:3–4 (גם … גם, emphasizing the action of both parties), Je 2:36; 4:12 now will I also [in correspondence with their deeds] speak judgments with them, 7:11; 51:49 (גם … גם), Ez 5:8, 11; 16:43 (וְגַם = therefore also), 23:35 Ho 4:6 because thou hast forgotten the direction of thy God, I also (on my part) will forget thy children, ψ 52:7 (thou lovest evil, etc.) גַּם אֵל יִתָּצְךָ God also (on his part) will pluck thee up, 71:22; 133:1 Pr 1:26 Jb 7:11; 12:3; 16:4; so וְגַם Ju 2:3 Am 4:6, 7 Mi 6:13 Mal 2:9. In the apodosis (uncommon): Gn 13:16 if a man could number the dust of the earth, גַּם זַרְעֲךָ יִמָּנֶה thy seed also should be numbered, Je 31:36, 37; 33:21, 26 Zc 8:6. The correspondence is sometimes of the nature of a climax: Gn 27:33; 30:8 I have wrestled, גַּם יָכֹלְתִּי (cf. 1 K 22:22 וְגַם תּוּכָ֔ל, Je 50:24), Is 66:8. e.g. Genesis 20:6
- 5. connecting two ideas which express (or imply) a contradiction, גַּם acquires sometimes an adversative force (cf. אַף 1 end), yet, but, though: ψ 95:9 they tried me, but also (Che) saw my work (viz. of judgment), 129:2 Je 6:15 = 8:12 Ez 20:23 Ec 4:8, 16; 5:18 Ne 6:1.

Jastrow Dictionary
A second Hebrew/Aramaic lexicon for comparison, covering Aramaic and post-biblical (Talmudic, Targumic, Midrashic) usage that the biblical-Hebrew BDB does not. Matched by lemma rather than by Strong’s number, so a lemma may carry more than one Jastrow headword (shown separately below), and the entries cover usage well beyond the Bible.
גַּם I
- [junction,]
- 1. too, also. Snh. 108ᵇ; Taan. 21ᵃ ג׳ זו לטובה this, too, is for the best. איש גם זו, v. גִּמְזוֹ.
- 2. the particle gam in the Bible text. B. Kam. 94ᵃ ג׳ לב"ה קשיא the gam (Deut. XXIII, 19) is unaccounted for according to Beth Hillel’s opinion; Tem. 30ᵇ. Esth. R. to I, 9 (ref. to גם ib.) אין ג׳ אלא ריבוי gam intimates an amplification, a. e.—Pl. גַּמִּים, גַּמִּין Gen. R. s. 1; Y. Ber. IX, 14ᵇ bot. אתין וג׳ ריבויין the eths and the gams intimate an extended qualification (by implication), v. אֵת. e.g. Deuteronomy 23:19
גַּם II
- (preced.) joint, angle, esp. two sides of a rectangle. Erub. 55ᵃ כמין גם Ar. (ed. גאם) in the shape of a right angle. Zeb. 53ᵇ גמא (Yalk. Lev. 441 גאם). Pes. 8ᵇ שורה אחת כמין ג׳ one row of wine vessels, in the shape of &c., i.e. the front and the whole upper layer. Y. ib. I, 27ᵇ bot. קולפו כמין גם.—Kel. XIV, 8 (מפתח) של גם שנשבר מתוך גומו a key whose bit is joined (opp. to של ארכובה of one piece) broken at its junction. [Sabb. 105ᵃ על הגם Ar., ed. על הגַּס, q. v.]—Pl. גַּמִּים, גַּמִּין. Y. Pes. l. c. קולפו כמין שני ג׳ he takes off for examination two front and two upper layers, v. supra. Ib. if the vessels are arranged like steps קולפו ג׳ ג׳ he must examine by front and upper layers on each landing. B. Mets. 28ᵃ מדת גַּמָּיו the combined measure of both dimensions of a piece of goods, square measure, opp. מדת ארכו ומדת רחבו the measure of each dimension specified.—Sabb. 103ᵇ גַּמִּין, v. גי"מל.—[Commentators explain our w. = Greek Gamma, Γ, whence the Var. גַּמָּא.]

Septuagint verse parallels
This word appears in 615 verses that also exist in the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), out of the 661 Hebrew verses it occurs in. You can read those verses in Greek by switching the Old Testament edition to the Septuagint.
Read these verses in the Septuagint
- Genesis 3:6
- Exodus 1:10
- Leviticus 25:45
- Numbers 4:22
- Deuteronomy 1:28
- Joshua 1:15
- Judges 1:3
- Ruth 1:5
- 1 Samuel 1:6
- 2 Samuel 1:4
- 1 Kings 1:6
- 2 Kings 2:3
This is a verse-level parallel only — the same verses exist in both the Hebrew and Greek Old Testaments. No word-level Hebrew↔Greek correspondence is claimed: the data carries no such alignment, so no Greek word is shown as this Hebrew word’s translation. Coverage is not total — the Septuagint omits the deuterocanon and renumbers the Psalms, so some Hebrew verses have no direct Greek parallel.
