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.
מָקוֹם
- 1. place. Ab. Zar. 8ᵇ; Snh. 14ᵇ המ׳ גורם, v. גָּרַם. Yoma 38ᵃ bot. בשמך יקראוך ובמְקוֹמְךָ וכ׳ thou shalt be called by what name thou deservest, and given the place due to thee &c., i.e. be not afraid of human envy. Shebu. VII, 4 חזרה השבועה למְקוֹמָהּ the oath goes back to its home, expl. ib. 47ᵃ חזרה שבועה לסיני the oath goes back to Sinai, i.e. no oath is demanded and no decision rendered, the case being surrendered to him who proclaimed on Sinai, ‘thou shalt not rob’; oth. opin. חזרה שבועה למחוייב לה the oath goes back to him who by right should have been asked to make oath but could not be permitted to swear on account of disqualification, i.e. he must pay; a. v. fr.—כל מ׳, בכל מ׳ (abbr. כ"מ, בכ"מ) everywhere. Sabb. 40ᵇ; a. fr.—כל מ׳ ש־, בכ"מ wherever. Erub. 81ᵇ. Meg. 29ᵃ; a. fr.—אותו מ׳, v. אוֹת III.
- 2. existence, substance; הַמָּ׳ the Existence, the Lord (cmp. מָעוֹן). Gen. R. s. 68 מפני מה מכנין שמו של הקב"ה וקוראין אותו מ׳ in circumscribing the name of the Lord, why do we call him Maḳom? שהוא מְקוֹמוֹ של עולם ואין עולמו מקומו because He is the existence (the preserver) of the world, but His world is not His existence; Pesik. R. s. 21; a. e.—Ab. Zar. 40ᵇ ברוך המ׳ שמסר עולמו לשומרים blessed be the Lord who has given his world over to preservers (who has created remedies). Nidd. 49ᵇ המ׳ יהיה בעזרו the Lord be with him. Ber. 16ᵇ; Lev. R. s. 5, v. חֶסְרוֹן; a. v. fr.

Forms in the corpus
The 152 distinct written forms H4725 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; 92 rarer forms follow in the full concordance.
Same root — word family
Other BDB entries built from the same root as H4725, 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 358 verses that also exist in the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), out of the 379 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 1:9
- Exodus 3:5
- Leviticus 1:16
- Numbers 9:17
- Deuteronomy 1:31
- Joshua 1:3
- Judges 2:5
- Ruth 1:7
- 1 Samuel 2:20
- 2 Samuel 2:16
- 1 Kings 5:9
- 2 Kings 5:11
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.
