I am looking for a Greek dictionary that is more than the standard lexicon form of the word. I want to see it all:

For example, if I click on the strong's number for ἡμᾶς in my software it will give me the definition for εγο. If I click on the Greek word itself to pull up the morphology, I still only get the strong's lexicon word and definition.

 

Are there any recommendations for a better dictionary? Thanks!

nμaς is g2248.

It doesn't show up as ego for me in strongs

I'm wondering if either the wrong word was selected or a coding error in the module

There are many good additional dictionaries here.
But I'm not seeing this particular problem.

Some Bible modules will associate  ἡμᾶς with Strong's number G1473 -- the standard lexeme form εγο of the word.  Other Bible modules will associate  ἡμᾶς  with Strong's number G2248 -- the word ἡμᾶς , but indicate that  ἡμᾶς  is the accusative plural of  εγο  and include a reference to Strong's G1473.  Which Bible module causes you to see this issue, and which Strong's number is it associating with  ἡμᾶς  ?

 

Clicking on the Greek word itself can be very hit-or-miss because some lexicons include the special marks above some of the Greek letters and some lexicons don't.  Some Bible modules include the special marks above some of the Greek letters and some Bible modules don't.  e-Sword will typically fail to find a hit if there is a mismatch caused by a difference in the special marks.

 

I recommend adding the Thayer's Unabridged lexicon, if you don't already have it:

Ahh.

Ahh, thank you. I was using the BGB and BIB++ modules for Greek learning. BGB being just the Greek text. BIB++ (Berean Modules) being the transliteration and strong's number. BIB++ uses your first example G1473. However when I switched to the Greek NT INT+ that has both Transliteration and strong's number G2248 (downloaded from within the esword software) it used your second example.

 

This is a big help. I appreciate it very much. I just want the correct definition of every word in the Greek NT! Unfortunately this is not the first time I have found the Greek NT INT+ module to be superior to the BIB++, but the BIB++ is easier to read. Sigh. One day, I will be able to read and understand the Greek without an interlinear hopefully

HINT TO BIBLE RESEARCHERS:
Please remember that Wilbur Pickering has provided updates of his documentation regarding the evidence of the original wording of the text of the New Testament. Please do not disregard his details. There are sections of his website in Portuguese (Brazil),  https://www.prunch.com.br/     English,  https://www.prunch.com.br/en/      and Spanish. https://www.prunch.com.br/es/

 

 His code name for his website is PROJECT UNDERGROUND CHURCH. (PRUNCH).   You will find Books, Articles, Studies, and Videos.  Please given these some time. 

 

Some of the English links are in the Spanish part of his website. Some of the links go direct to the Amazon page where the books in hard copy can be purchased. 

As to the spelling of the Greek and Hebrew, the research by Ivan Panin, who noticed that all Greek letters are numbered, and all Hebrew letters are numbered, with the words also having numbering, and written in different ways in order to preserve a specific numbering total for that word, so that it will fit into the jigsaw puzzle of Biblical Numerics, may also be of importance. I do not know if his Hebrew concordance, and his Greek Concordance, has been made available in PDF format yet. 
With this, he proved that the same numerical patterns that are found in the first chapter of Mark, are also contained in the disputed ending of Mark, thus proving that the traditional text of the ending of Mark is totally correct, and is not to be discarded just because it is missing in Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. 

Remember that both Nestle and Aland only looked at what their eye could see, and they did not believe the text was divinely provided and inspired, word for word, by God. They also had a strong tendency to delete words where the words were missing from the Vaticanus Greek version of the LXX and missing from the Vaticanus version of the Greek New Testament - a manuscript which Wilbur Pickering classifies as corrupt. Sinaiticus Greek LXX and NT is also classified as corrupt as it was still a work in progress, possibly written from documents collected by his uncle, from old Alexandrian manuscripts, and compiled by Simonides, who was a good forger (copier) of earlier manuscripts onto excellent high quality white vellum pages which he had available for his use.

Hi Todd,

My recommendation would have to be the The Complete Greek and Hebrew WordStudy Dictionary.

 

This dictionary/lexicon goes a lot further than the Greek Lexicons, such as the Liddell, Scott, and Jones A Greek-English Lexicon or the BDAG. The reason for this has to do with a small thingy called scriptural context. In other words, the CWSD (The Complete Greek and Hebrew WordStudy Dictionary) gives the definition/meaning of a word in context to where it is used in a particular verse of Scripture. Not only that, but also it gives both synonyms and antonyms, and etc as well; as where the BDAG and LSJD fails at it.

 

Trust you find this information helpful.

 

Blessings,
