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: Or that which was delivered 1×, Shall be for store 1×, Was delivered 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.
פִּקָּדוֹן
- preced.) thing given in charge, deposit. Gen. R. s. 93, beg. לית שמיה פקדון אלא פּוּק דּוֹן (some ed. פוקדון in one word) it ought not to be called piḳḳadon, but puḳ don (go out of this, avoid it; דון for דין). Shebu. V, 1 שבועת הפ׳ the oath concerning a deposit. Ib. 2 תן לי פִקְדּוֹנִי give me my deposit back. Ib. VI, 7 מי שהפ׳ אצלו the trustee. Num. R. s. 9 (ref. to Num. V, 12 ומעלה בו מעל, a. Lev. V, 21) לפי שהיא כופרת בפ׳ because she betrays a trust; מה ממון הקל כל הכופר בפ׳ … בפִקְדּוֹן גוף וכ׳ if in money matters which are of slighter import, he who denies a deposit is considered like denying the Lord, how much more so is one who denies the deposit of a body (purity of the family)!

Septuagint verse parallels
This word appears in 3 verses that also exist in the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), out of the 3 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
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.
