Greek & Hebrew Word Studies

For Sleep Deprived Moms

& Other Normal People Who Never Went to Seminary

Hi there!

I’m so glad you’ve joined me for this workshop about how I study Greek and Hebrew origins,

even though I’ve never studied ancient languages!

This packet has 2 sections. The first is a worksheet that we will fill out together during the

session. Please print it out. It has been designed so that you can color it in and make it look

pretty. Feel free to do that and then please post a picture in our Conference Facebook Group or

Bible Journaling For Non Artists Facebook Group! I would love to see it!

The rest of the packet is a printable tutorial for you to add to your Bible Study Binder. It has

screen shots and serves as a quick reference in case you get can’t remember something or get

confused after the session is over. You’re always welcome to reach out to me or post in one of

the Facebook groups and I will be glad to help you!

Don’t forget! You can always find more free Bible Study worksheets in my Free Resource

Library. There are also 6 different designs of a free Printable Bible Study Binder (or War

Binder) and I’ll be adding more, so please check back!

How to Use Blue Letter Bible

For Greek & Hebrew Word Studies

BlueLetterBible.org is a super-helpful website for all things Bible-

Study related! They also have an app which is completely free!

How To Do A Word Study

STEP 1. Navigate to BlueLetterBible.org. This is what the

homepage looks like:

STEP 2. In the Box that says “Search the Bible” type in the verse

you want to look up. In the drop menu immediately below that

select the version of the Bible you wish to use and click “search”.

Today we will use John 8:12 (the theme verse for the Be The

Light Bible Journaling Conference) in the King James Version.

You will be taken to a screen with a Bible Passage starting with

the verse you selected and giving the following verses as well.

From here you can do a number of things.

Using the worksheet provided at the end of this handout, write

down the verse that you will be focusing on. This helps you

meditate on it and remember it, but it also helps with good

recordkeeping so that later you know which verse your notes are

referring to!

STRONG’S NUMBER

In the blue navigation bar at the top of the site there is an option

that says “Strongs.” Check that box. Now, the Strong’s index

number for all the words in the passage will appear.

What Is a Strong’s Index Number? Back in 1890, a theology professor named James Strong led a project where over 14,000 words in the Bible were given a number and indexed. Words that had come from Greek were given a number prefaced with “G” and words that had come from Hebrew were given a number prefeced with “H.” Today, you and I can use this index to easily find every single mention of any word we want to study!

Pick which word or phrase you want to study. For this example

we will explore the word “Light.”

Click on the number immediately after the word or phrase you

wish to study. In this case, it is Strong’s Number G5457. Go

ahead and write down the Strong’s Number on the worksheet so

you have it for future reference.

To the left of the verse is a box marked “Tools.” Hover over that

and you will see a menu pop up with several different options.

Clicking the “Bibles” option (the orange button on the left in the

picture above) will show you the verse you are studying in several

different translations. This can be helpful when you are studying

something and want to know how another translation worded a

particular verse.

CROSS REFERENCES

The purple “Cross References” tab (see the image above) will

list other important verses that use the same Greek or Hebrew

word. Seeing what the Bible says about the topic you are

studying in other places can help shed light on what a specific

verse means. (There are free worksheets at

HappyUnconventionalLife.com/Free-Resource-Library to help you

compare and examine all the chain reference verses.)

COMMENTARIES, DICTIONARIES & MISC

These tabs are self-explanatory. Here you will find extra

information pertaining to the verse. Commentaries are simply

someone’s comments about the Bible. Dictionaries will help you

understand the exact meaning of certain words.

The Misc tab often features drawings, maps, charts or other tools

that may be helpful to your study.

Don’t Miss The Most Important Part! After you’ve looked over all this information and taken notes, don’t forget to spend some time applying this to your life. What is God saying to you in particular? How will you apply it? What is your prayer for change? Record all these findings on your worksheet.

Blue Letter Bible is a FABULOUS (and free!) Bible Study tool! I

hope you are as blessed using it as I have been!
