How the meanings are found

Hebrew names are ordinary Hebrew words: Ab-raham is av (father) joined to a root meaning to be many; Beth-lehem is bayit (house) and lechem (bread). Each page gives the name's Strong's definition, the words it is built from, and every verse in which it occurs. In the app, turn on Hebrew Names and every name in the chapter you are reading lights up — tap one for the same breakdown in place.
