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.

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.
כָּבוֹד
- 1. importance. Arakh. 18ᵃ ולידון בכְבוֹדוֹ (Ar. בכבידו) and that the value of a limb be judged according to its importance (vitality); ib. 4ᵇ; B. Mets. 114ᵃ
- 2. honor, respect; dignity. Ber. 19ᵇ, a. e., v. חָלַק. Ib. משום כְּבוֹד מלכים on account of the respect due to royalty. Ib.; Men. 37ᵇ גדול כְּ׳ הבריות וכ׳ human dignity (in proper appearance) is very important, for it may even suspend a Biblical law. Ber. l. c. ואינו לפי כְבוֹרוֹ and it is not becoming his dignity (to drive an ass). Sot. 13ᵃ הניחו לו כְּבוֹדוֹ במלכים יותר וכ׳ let him alone, the honor shown to him (Jacob) by princes is higher than that by private men. Ib. נהגו בהן כ׳ they treated them with respect. Ned. 39ᵇ בכְבוֹדִי לא מחיתם בכְ׳ וכ׳ as long as My honor was concerned, you did not interfere, and when the honor of a human being is at stake &c. Ab. IV, 12 יהי כְ׳ תלמידך וכ׳ let the honor of thy pupil be as dear to thee as thine own, and thy fellow student’s honor as that of thy teacher; a. v. fr.—כסא הכ׳, v. כִּסֵּא. מחל על כבודו to forego due honors, v. מָחַל.
כִּבּוּד
- , v. sub. כִּיבּ׳.

Forms in the corpus
The 108 distinct written forms H3519 takes in the Hebrew Bible, most frequent first — each parse links to that state’s occurrences in the concordance. Hebrew forms include their vowel points and cantillation, so a single lemma takes many written forms.
The 60 most common forms are shown; 48 rarer forms follow in the full concordance.
Same root — word family
Other BDB entries built from the same root as H3519, grouped by Strong’s listed origin. These share a root / origin per the lexicon — not necessarily a shared meaning. Each links to that word’s own entry.

Septuagint verse parallels
This word appears in 183 verses that also exist in the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), out of the 189 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 31:1
- Exodus 16:7
- Leviticus 9:6
- Numbers 14:10
- Deuteronomy 5:24
- Joshua 7:19
- 1 Samuel 2:8
- 1 Kings 3:13
- 1 Chronicles 16:28
- 2 Chronicles 1:11
- Esther 1:4
- Job 19:9
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.
