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.

- 1. with foll. gen. (as usually) the whole of, to be rendered, however, often in our idiom, to avoid stiffiness, all or every:
- a. Gn 2:1 כָּל־צְבָאָם the whole of their host, v 13 כָּל־אֶרֶץ כּוּשׁ the whole of the land of Kush; כָּל־הַלַּיְלָה the whole of the night; כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל the whole of Israel = all Israel; Dt 4:29 בְּכָל־לְבָֽבְךָ with the whole of thy heart = with all thy heart; + very often With a plural noun, usually determined by the art. or a genitive: Gn 5:5 כל־ימי אדם the whole of (= all) the days of Adam, 37:35 כל־בניו the whole of (= all) his sons, Is 2:2 כל־הגוים all the nations; Gn 43:9 + often כל הימים = continually. In poetry, however, the noun may remain undetermined, כָּל־יָדַיִם the whole of hands = every hand, Is 13:7; Jer 48:37; Ez 21:12; כל־פנים i.e. every face Is 25:8; Joel 2:6; כל שׁלחנות Is 28:8; כל חוצות 51:20 La 2:19 al. Before an inf. †Gn 30:41; Dt 4:7; 1 K 8:52; 1 Ch 23:31. Freq. with sfs., as כֻּלּוֹ (כֻּלֹּה) the whole of him Gn 25:25; Jb 21:23; Ct 5:16, the whole of it Lv 13:13; Je 2:21; Na 2:1; Pr 24:31; כֻּלָּהּ the whole of it Gn 13:10; Ex 19:18; 25:36 Am 8:8; כֻּלָּךְ all of thee Ct 4:7 + (v. ad init.); כֻּלָּנוּ the whole of us Gn 42:11; Dt 5:3; Is 53:6, 6; כֻּלְּכֶם Dt 1:22; 4:4; 1 S 22:7, 7; כֻּלָּם Gn 11:6; 43:34; Jos 8:24; ויפלו כֻּלָּם, Ju 11:6; בְּיַד כֻּלָּם, Is 7:19; 31:3 + often—Twice, strangely, with hyperb. intensive force, ψ 39:6 כָּל־הֶבֶל the whole of vanity are all men (? om. כל, as v 12), 45:14 כָּל־כְּבוּדָּה the whole of gloriousness is the king’s daughter. e.g. Genesis 2:2
- b. followed often by a singular, to be understood collectively, whether with or without the art.: Gn 1:21 את כל נפשׁ החיה the whole of living souls = every living soul, 2:9 כל עץ נחמד למראה the whole of trees (every kind of tree) pleasant to view, 6:12 + כָּל־בָּשָׂר, 7:14 כל צפור כל כנף all birds of every kind of wing (so Ez 17:23), v 21 כל האדם the whole of mankind (so Nu 12:3; 16:29 Ju 16:17 al.); poet. כל־אדם ψ 39:6; 64:10 +; 1 S 14:52 כל אישׁ גבור וכל־בן־חיל, 17:19, 24 כל אישׁ ישׂראל, 22:2; Is 9:16 כל פה the whole of mouths = every mouth, 15:2; 24:10 כָּל־בַּיִת + often (in 2:12–16 the sg. and pl. interchange); ψ 7:12 + בכל־יום, 10:5 + בכל־עת = at all seasons. So כל־העץ Gn 1:29, כל־הבן Ex 1:22 = all the sons, כל־המקום 20:24 Dt 11:24 = all the places, כל־המרכב Lv 15:9, v 26 Dt 4:3 כל־האישׁ אשׁר = all the men who …, 15:19 כל־הבכור, Je 4:29 כל־העיר עזובה all the cities (notice the foll. בָּהֶן); כל־היום = all the days (v. יוֹם 7 f), etc. In late Heb. extended to such phrases as בְּכָל־דּוֹר וָדוֹר †ψ 45:18; 145:13 Est 9:28; בכל־עיר ועיר †2 Ch 11:12; 28:25; 31:19 Est 8:11, 17; 9:28; †2 Ch 32:28 Est 2:11; 3:14; 4:3; 8:13, 17; 9:21, 27, 28(×3), (cf. וְ 1 i b). e.g. Genesis 1:21
- c. the gen. after כל is often a rel. sentence, introduced by אשׁר: Gn 1:31 את כל אשׁר עשׂה the whole of what he had made, 7:22; 13:1 + very often Sometimes, with a prep., כל אשׁר has the force of wheresoever, whithersoever, as Jos 1:9 בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר תֵּלֵךְ wheresoever thou goest, v 16 אֶל־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר whithersoever (see אֲשֶׁר 4 b γ). Very rarely in such cases is there ellipse of the rel., as Gn 39:4 וְכָל־יֶשׁ־לוֹ נָתַן בְּיָדִי (contrast v 5, 8), Ex 9:4 מכל־לבני ישׂראל, Is 38:16 וּלְכָל־בָּהֶן חַיֵּי רוּחִי, ψ 71:18 לְכָל־יָבוֹא (74:3, v. 2 a), 2 Ch 32:31; peculiarly also in Chr (DrIntr. 505), 1 Ch 29:3 מִכָּל־הֲכִינוֹתִי, 2 Ch 30:18 f. Ezr 1:6; cf. with כֹּל (2 a) 1 Ch 29:11 a 2 Ch 30:17; Ezr 1:5. e.g. Genesis 1:31
- d. with a suffix two idiomatic uses of כל have to be noticed: (a) כל is often made more independent and emphatic by being placed with a suffix after the word which it qualifies, to which it then stands in apposition (cf. in Syriac, Arabic, Ethiopic), as 2 S 2:9 יִשְׂרָאֵל כֻּלֹּה, Jer 13:19; 48:31; Is 9:8; 14:29, 31 פלשׁת כלך Philistia, all of thee! Mi 2:12 Hb 2:6 Jb 34:13 ψ 67:4, 6; especially in Ezek., as 14:5; 29:2 מצדים כֻּלָּהּ 32:12, 30; with change of person (cf. the idiom in Is 22:16; 48:1; 54:1 etc.), 1 K 22:28 = Mi 1:2 שׁמעו עמים כלם Hear, nations, all of them! Mal 3:9 הַגּוֹי כֻּלּוֹ. So even with כל preceding: Nu 16:3 כָּל־הָעֵדָה כֻּלָּם, Is 14:18; Jer 30:16; Ez 11:15 כל בית ישׂראל כֻּלֹּה the whole of the house of Israel, the whole of it (so 20:40; 36:10), 35:15; 36:5 ψ 8:8 (cf. Sab. DHMl.c.); (b) with the sf. of 3 ms., understood as referring to the mass of things or persons meant, כֻּלֹּה or כֻּלּוֹ, lit. the whole of it, is equivalent to all of them, every one, †Ex 14:7 and captains עַל־כֻּלּוֹ upon the whole of it (the רֶכֶב collectively) = all of them, Is 1:23 the whole of it (the people) loveth bribes, 9:16; 15:3; Jer 6:13(×2); 8:6, 10(×2); 20:7; Hab 1:9, 15; ψ 29:9 and in his temple כֻּלּוֹ אֹמֵר כָּבוֹד the whole of it (= every one there) says, Glory! 53:4 (‖ 14:3 הַכֹּל); perhaps Is 16:7; Je 48:38; + Pr 19:6 Ew Hi (וְכֻלֹּה רֵעַ): Je 15:10 read כֻּלְּהֶם קִלֲלוּנִי. e.g. 2 Samuel 2:9
- e. Heb. idiom in certain cases affirms, or denies, of an entire class, where Engl. idiom affirms, or denies, of an individual of the class; thus in a compar. or hypoth. sentence כל is = any, and with a neg. = none; (a) Gn 3:1 the serpent was more subtil מכל חית השׂדה than all beasts of the field (in our idiom: than any beast of the field), Dt 7:7; 1 S 9:2; (b) Lv 4:2 a soul when it sins through ignorance מכל מצות י״י in all the commandments of Jehovah (= in any of the commandments, etc.), 19:23 when ye … plant כל־עץ מאכל = any tree for food, Nu 35:22 or if he have cast upon him כָּל־כְּלִי = any weapon, 1 K 8:37 b; joined with a ptcp. in a hypoth. sense (Dr§ 121 n. Ges§ 116, 5 R. 5), Gn 4:14 כל מצאי all my finders (= if any one find me), he will slay me, v 15 a Nu 21:8; כָּל־הַנָּשׁוּךְ = whosoever (= if any one) is bitten, 1 S 2:13; (c) with a neg., Gn 2:5 all plants of the field טֶרֶם יִהְיֶה were not as yet = no plant of the field as yet was, 4:15 b לבלתי הכות־אתו כל־מצאו for the not-smiting him of all finding him = that none finding him should smite him, Ex 10:15 ולא־נותר כל ירק = and no green things were left, 12:16 כל־מלאכה לא יעשׂה all work shall not be done = no work shall be done, Dt 28:14; Ju 13:4 אַל־תֹּאכְלִי כָּל־טָמֵא eat not of all that is unclean, 19:19 אֵין מַחְסוֹר כָּל־דָּבָר there is no lack of all things i.e. of any thing, ψ 143:2 כי לא־יצדק לפניך כל־חי, + very often (so οὐ πᾶς, as a Hebraism, in the N.T., e.g. Mk 13:20 οὐκ ἂν ἐσώθη πᾶσα σάρξ, Lk 1:37 οὐκ ἀδυνατήσει … πᾶν ῥῆμα, as Jer 32:17 לֹא־יִפָּלֵא מִמְּךָ כָּל־דָּבָר, Gal 2:16 οὐ δικαιωθήσεται … πᾶσα σάρξ, etc.) Usually, in such cases, כל (or its gen.) is without the art., being left purposely indef.: in ψ 49:18 (2 b a) הַכֹּל is emph. (In Nu 23:13 וְכֻלּוֹ לֹא תִרְאֶה the context shews that כֹּל is opp. to a part). e.g. Genesis 3:1
- f. very anomalously, severed from its gen., †2 S 1:9 כִּי־כָל־עוֹד נַפְשִׁי בִי, Jb 27:3 כִּי־כָל־עוֹד נִשְׁמָתִי בִי, Ho 14:3 (si vera l.) כָּל־תִּשָּׂא עָוֹן. On Ec 5:15 כָּל־עֻמַּת־שֶׁ׳ v. עֻמָּה. e.g. 2 Samuel 1:9
- — When the gen. after כל is a noun fem. or pl., the pred. usually agrees with this (as being the really important idea), e.g. Gn 5:5 ויהיו כל ימי אדם, Nu 14:1 וַתִּשָּׂא כָל־הָעֵדָה, Nah 3:1 ψ 150:6 כֹּל הַנְּשָׁמָה תְּהַלֵּל; exceptions being very rare, Is 64:10 b Pr 16:2 (Ges§ 141. 1 R. 2). e.g. Genesis 5:5
- 2. Absolutely:
- a. without the art., all things, all (mostly neuter, but sometimes m.), the sense in which ‘all’ is to be taken being gathered from the context, Gn 9:3 נתתי לכם את כֹּל, 16:12 וְיַד כֹּל בּוֹ, 20:16 ואת כֹּל ונוכחת, 33:11 וכי ישׁ לי כֹל, Nu 8:16 בכור כֹּל מבני ישׂראל, 11:6 אֵין כֹּל nought of all things! = there is nothing (so †2 S 12:3; Pr 13:7, cf. 2 K 4:2), 13:2 כֹּל נשׂיא בהם (cf. 2 S 23:39; 1 Ch 3:9: usually so הַכֹּל), Dt 28:47 מֵרֹב כֹּל, v 48, 37 בְּחֹסֶר כֹּל (cf. Je 44:18), Is 30:5 כֹּל הֹבִאישׁ all exhibit shame, 44:24 י׳ עֹשֶׂה־כֹּל, Je 44:12 וְתַמּוּ כֹל (unusual), Zp 1:2 ψ 8:7; 74:3 (read כֹּל הֵרַע), 145:15 עיני כֹל, Pr 16:4; 26:10; 28:5; Jb 13:1 הן כֹּל ראתה עיני, 42:2; 1 Ch 29:11 b 2 Ch 32:22 (m.), Dn 11:37 (v. also 1 c end); מִכֹּל Gn 6:19, 20 b שְׁנַיִם מִכֹּל, 14:20; 27:33; Je 17:9 עקוב הלב מִכֹּל, Dn 11:2 (m.) After a neg. = anything, Dt 4:25 תְּמוּנַת כֹּל the likeness of anything, 8:9; 28:55; Pr 30:30. In the gen. also, very rarely, to express the idea of all as comprehensively as possible: Ez 44:30 כָּל־בִּכּוּרֵי כֹל וְכָל־תְּרוּמַת כֹּל; ψ 119:128 (si vera l.) כָּל־פִּקּוּדֵי כֹל all the statutes about everything. e.g. Genesis 9:3
- b. with art. הַכֹּל: (a) where the sense is limited by the context to things (or persons) just mentioned, Ex 29:24 ושׂמת הַכֹּל ביד אהרן, Lv 1:9 והקטיר הכהן את הַכֹּל, v 13; 8:27 Dt 2:36 את הַכֹּל נתן י׳ לפנינו, Jos 11:19 (cf. 2 S 19:31 1 K 14:26 = 2 Ch 12:9), 21:43 הַכֹּל בָּא (cf. 23:14), 1 S 30:19 הַכֹּל השׁיב דוד, 2 S 17:3 (corrupt: v. 𝔊 Dr), 24:23 (1 Ch 21:23), 1 K 6:18 הַכֹּל ארז (cf. 7:33; 2 K 25:17 = Je 52:22), 2 K 24:16 הַכֹּל גבורים, Is 65:8 לבלתי השׁחית הַכֹּל, ψ 14:3; or implied, Gn 16:12 יָדוֹ בַכֹּל, 24:1 ברך את אברהם בַּכֹּל, 2 S 23:5 (poet.) עֲרֻכָה בַכֹּל, is 29:11 (peculiarly) חָזוּת הַכֹּל the vision of the whole, Je 13:7, 10 לא יצלח לַכֹּל, Ez 7:14 וְהָכִין הַכֹּל (but Co וְהָכִינוּ הָכֵן), ψ 49:18 לא במותו יקח הַכֹּל: more freq. later, viz. 1 Ch 7:5 (as regards all), 28:19; 29:19 2 Ch 28:6; 29:28; 31:5; 35:7; 36:17, 18; Ezr 1:11; 2:42; 8:34, 35; 10:17 (וַיְכַלּוּ בַכֹּל: v. BeRy), Ec 5:8 (בַּכֹּל, appar. = in all respects), 10:19; 12:13. (b) in a wider sense, all, whether of all mankind or of all living things, the universe (τὸ πᾶν), or of all the circumstances of life (chiefly late), Je 10:16 = 51:19 כי יוצר הַכֹּל הוא, ψ 103:19 (cf. 1 Ch 29:12), 119:91 הַכֹּל עֲבָדֶיךָ, 145:9 טוֹב י׳ לַכֹּל, 1 Ch 29:12, 14, 16 Dn 11:2, and especially in Ec., as 1:2, 14; 2:11, 17; 3:19; 12:8 הַכֹּל הֶבֶל, 2:16 הכל נשׁכח, 3:1 לַכֹּל זְמָן, v 11, 19, 20; 6:6; 7:15; 9:1, 2, 2, 3; 10:3, 19; 11:5. כַּכֹּל, †Jb 24:24 (si vera l.) כַּכֹּל יִקָּֽפְצוּן like all men (i.e. like men in general). e.g. Exodus 29:24

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.
כֹּל
- , constr. כָּל (b. h.; כָּלַל) all, every one. Sot. 5ᵃ הקב"ה הניח כל הרים וכ׳ the Lord passed over all mountains and hills and caused his Presence to rest on Sinai. Ib. (ref. to ככל Job XXIV, 24) כאברהם … בַּכֹּל מִכֹּל כֹּל like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob of whom is written ‘with everything’ &c. (Gen. XXIV, 1; XXVII, 33; XXXIII, 11).—Ḥull.

Ib. 2 ובַכֹּל שוחטין וכ׳ and you may slaughter with any cutting tool except &c. Tem. I, 1; a. v. fr.—דברי הכל the words of all, (it is) the unanimous opinion, all agree. Bets. 9ᵃ ד׳ ה׳ מותר all agree that it is permitted; a. fr.—אין … כל עיקר not at all. Y. Dem. I, 21ᵈ אינו מפריש כל עיקר he does not set aside at all; a. fr.—Y. Shebi.

Gitt. 11ᵇ כל האומר תנו וכ׳ whoever says, ‘Give you’ (a letter of emancipation &c.), is considered as having said, Take possession (in behalf of the person concerned). Kidd. 43ᵇ כל שאין יכולה וכ׳ whatever woman is incapable of guarding her letter of divorce, is incapable of being divorced. Ḥag. 4ᵇ, v. יֵשׁ; a. v. fr.—כָּל שֶׁהוּא whatever it be, i.e. the smallest quantity.

Forms in the corpus
The 259 distinct written forms H3605 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; 199 rarer forms follow in the full concordance.
Same root — word family
Other BDB entries built from the same root as H3605, 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
Most of the 4,242 Hebrew verses this word occurs in also exist in the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), so the same passages can be read in Greek by switching the Old Testament edition to the Septuagint.
Read these verses in the Septuagint
- Genesis 1:21
- Exodus 1:5
- Leviticus 1:9
- Numbers 1:2
- Deuteronomy 1:1
- Joshua 1:2
- Judges 1:25
- Ruth 1:19
- 1 Samuel 1:4
- 2 Samuel 1:9
- 1 Kings 1:3
- 2 Kings 3:6
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.
