What is a Concordance?

A Bible concordance is an alphabetical list of the principal words used in a particular translation of Scripture, along with their immediate contexts (i.e. the passages in which they appear). Those using a numbering system will also include a number that coordinates with a Hebrew-to-English or Greek-to-English dictionary in the back of the concordance. The dictionaries in the back include brief definitions of Hebrew and Greek words, but there are other reference tools that will provide much more information for each term.

Use the list below to find an appropriate concordance (or more than one). All of the ones listed include either Strong's numbers or G/K numbers, and have dictionaries in the back. Once you've selected a concordance, go on to step 2.
