Online Resources

Online Sites for Word Studies using Strong’s Numbering System

https://www.blueletterbible.org While there are several sites using Strong’s numbering system, this is one of the more straightforward. To find a definition, simply search for the verse containing the word(s) you wish to define and, once there, click on the "tools" bar beside it. The first screen to appear (“Interlinear”) identifies the Strong's number. A click on that number gives you information and definitions. (Again, as with all sites, be discerning regarding resources, advertising, etc.)
