Passage in Parallel Versions, Passage in All Versions, Word Study Guide, Exegetical Guide.

EXEGETICAL GUIDE: This is an automated report that exegetes a passage from a Hebrew or Greek Bible, i.e., *from the original text*. It lists the lemma (root word) and provides KeyLink information for each word. This report does not rely on Strong's numbers.

WORD STUDY GUIDE: This is an automated report that exegetes a passage from a Bible containing Strong's numbers. It lists the Strong's number and provides Strong's number KeyLink information for each word. This is the most direct way to do a *concordance search* - click on the first KeyLink: "Generate Englishman's Concordance"
