Re: Bible Translation Resources
strongs is a dictionary ONLY. It does not tell you how a word should be used in a sentence depending on the grammar.

For example. The number ONE...used to be in Strongs he lumped all three genders under one heading "heis"...

Heis is the masculine greek word for one. I remember my first pastor saying the greek word for One in John 10:30 is Heis and means 1 in number.

Well the fact is the greek word is HEN, not HEIS. HEN is the neuter form. And while it does mean 1 in number it's use is most often to indicate a One in unity. Strongs does not tell you that.
