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).

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.
אָרַר
- 1. to dig, stab; v. אֲרָרָן.
- 2. to point out for execration, [or to set outside]; (cmp. חרם a. נקב, a. also ברך); to curse.—Part. pass. אָרוּר, f. אֲרוּרָה, pl. אֲרוּרִים &c. Shebu. 36ᵃ; a. fr.—*Y. Sot. II, 18ᵃ top מֵי יכול מראה מים ת"ל ארד (read אָרַר) you might infer from the word mé (Num. V, 18) that it must have the color of water, therefore the root arar is used in connection therewith (i.e. water in which the curse written with ink has been washed off and is recognizable in the mixture); אי ארד וכ׳ (read ארר) from arar again you might infer that the drink must have the color of ink, therefore we read mé, which means the color of water and the color of ink (a colored thin fluid); cmp. Bab. Sot. 16ᵇ (where the same argument is used with reference to blood).—Part. pass. f. אֲרוּרָה cacophem. for idol. Ab. Zar. 51ᵃ לא׳ זו מיבעיא Ms. M. (ed. לע"ז) so much the more for that cursed (idol). e.g. Numbers 5:18

- to be cursed. Num. R. s. 14 לא נֶאֶרְרוּ וכ׳ they were not cursed before seventy verses were completed (Gen. I, 1 to III, 14; Esth. III, 1 to VII, 10). Y. Sot. IX, 24ᵇ bot.; Tosef. ib. XV, 2 נִתְאָרְרוּ. e.g. Genesis 1:1

Septuagint verse parallels
This word appears in 51 verses that also exist in the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), out of the 52 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 3:14
- Exodus 22:28
- Numbers 5:18
- Deuteronomy 27:15
- Joshua 6:26
- Judges 5:23
- 1 Samuel 14:24
- 2 Kings 9:34
- Job 3:8
- Jeremiah 11:3
- Malachi 1:14
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.
