How to Study the Scriptures

Your word IS a Lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path, and I will hide your word in my heart...

 

 
 
 
ALL Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
{2 Timothy 3:16}
 

 
Your word IS a Lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path, and I will hide your word in my heart...The Bible ~
Yahweh’s Holy Word
The three OnLine Bibles that I used the most are the The Bible Gateway, and CrossWalk and  StudyLight, (which includes hard to find Bible Versions including the Amplified Bible, The KJV w/Strong’s Concordance #’s, The New King James, Jay P. Green, Sr.’s Literal Translation, The Message, The Hebrew Names Version, The Complete Jewish Bible, Yahweh’s Word, The Bible in Basic English, The Webster Bible, The English Standard Version, Rotherham’s Emphasized Bible, The World English Bible and the new Updated Bible Version.  The last three translations use the Name of Yahweh rather than 'the LORD' and I like that about them.
... all told ~ access to 47 Bibles, 21 Commentaries, 6 Dictionaries, 4 Concordances all on the same Web site~!)

I highly recommend StudyLight as it includes:
The World English Bible and the new Updated Bible Version
both use the Name of Yahweh rather than 'the LORD'

Audio Bibles, (have the Text Read to you out loud)

Faith Comes By Hearing.com

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
(Romans 10:14 KJVA
)

At CrossWalk, if you look up a verse in one of the reference Bibles that includes the Strong’s Concordance numbers* and like the Wigram’s New English Lexicons, you can find where every occurrence of a word was used and how that word was translated in the Bible, (it will read as KJV Verse Count or NASB) Verse Count).  Crosswalk also has the Nave’s Topical Bible,Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, Torrey’s New Topical Textbook, and Treasury of Scripture Knowledge.

You will also find in the Lexicons a reference number cited such as 'TDNT Entry', (for the New Testament Greek Lexicon), based on Thayer’s and Smith’s Bible Dictionary, or for the Old Testament, then it will read 'TWOT Entry'.  If you’re referencing a New Testament word, then this will be the Volume, Comma and then Page Number for the Large Kittel Theological Dictionary New Testament, and followed by the Page Number for the abridged one volume book called the “Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (TDNT)."  The Old Testament Hebrew Lexicon on Crosswalk is the Brown, Driver, Briggs, Gesenius Lexicon; and this will be coded to the “Theological Word Book of the Old Testament, (TWOT)."

Crosswalk also can sound out in RealAudio pronunciations of each word with alternates pronunciations if available and display the Phonetic Spelling of the original wording in Greek or Hebrew fonts, (the fonts have to be downloaded and installed separately), and gives rendering of the Transliterated Word, and denotes the Word Origin, and the Parts of Speech, (such as a Noun Feminine), as well as displaying the Original Word.

*Strong’s Concordance numbers are keyed to
the New American Standard, (NASB);
the King James Version, (KJV).

Crosswalk includes the following Translations of the Bible:

  1. KJV with Strong’s Numbers, (KJV+)
  2. NAS with Strong’s Numbers, (NAS+ or NSN+)
  3. American Standard Version, (ASV)
  4. Douay-Rheims Bible, (DRB)

  13. New International Reader’s Version, (NIrV)
  14. New International Version, (NIV)

  16. New Living Translation, (NLT)
  17. New Revised Standard, (NRS)
  18. Revised Standard Version, (RSV)

Be sure to set up your Preferences Page on Crosswalk & on the Bible Gateway to open to your desired Bible.

At The Bible Gateway web site, one can find ’the Amplified Bible', and make up to four Parallel Bibles with Various Comparisons of Bible Translations; (Five OnLine Parallel Bibles can be seen, if you enter a semicolon in the Web URL address and add in the Version number.  For example, ’the Amplified Bible' is number 45, so you would add ;45 to the URL address if you wanted to include ’the Amplified Bible' or ;51 if you desired to include the 'New Living Translation'),

Example: http://www.studylight.org/par/view.cgi?query=1%20Kings%206:1-2;&version=76;77;65;46;51;

or compare with this below:

http://www.studylight.org/par/view.cgi?query=1%20Kings%206:1-2;&version=45;50;76;46;51;

{see a complete list of the numbers associated with each version listed below}

The 1st URL Address shows "1 Kings 6' in several translations that define a cubit as being 18 inches.  Only the New Living Translation told me that 'Ziv' was the '2nd month of midspring', and this is also useful information.  The 2nd URL Address listed above is just to show variations in the URL coding.

I thought the New Living Translation or New International Reader’s Version was the most easiest to understand displaying numbers as digits rather than as words, ("90 feet" ... compared to "ninety feet").  As many Bibles have drawings such as the Holman Illustrated Christian Standard Bible that depicts what Solomon’s Temple may have looked like.

Other Translations that define older measurements into modern day usage are the New International Reader’s Version, Holman Christian Standard Bible, New Living Translation, Today’s New International Version, Contemporary English Version, New Life Version, (in long steps?), and The Message Bible.

The Bible Gateway is probably also the best for looking at the Word in other languages besides English, and one of a handful of OnLine Bible for searching in the Amplified Bible.  Both The Bible Gateway and CrossWalk have the Nave’s Topical Bible and the Torrey’s New Topical Textbook.

Here’s an example of Bible Gateway:

Here’s the Scripture Approach that I recommend...

Things That Are Prerequisites to Study Yahweh’s Word

  1. A Designated Time Every Day
  2. A Designated Undisturbed Place
  3. All or Some of the Resources Listed Below
  4. The Scriptures that you Read, (not just carry to and from}
  5. Faith in the Holy Ghost to Talk to you as you read and study.

Here's some Tips from R. A. Torrey, (prayer partner for D.L. Moody) on How to Study the Scriptures ~ Click Here

 

The New Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance.  Much thanks to James Strong.  We don’t have to know the Greek or the Hebrew as Strong coded each Greek, (or Aramaic) or Hebrew, (or Chaldee) word to a number, that I can look up and find the definition in the Lexicon in the rear, and many other Bible Tools are also key coded to the Strong’s Numbers.

Look for an Expanded Exhaustive or an Exhaustive Concordance with many bonuses such as ‘Fan Tab’ ’thumb Indexed', Words of Christ highlighted or in red, Topical Index to the Bible, Easy-to-Read Print, Laws of the Bible, Teachings and Illustrations of Christ, The Jewish Calendar, Jewish Feasts, Monies and Weights, NT Monies, Measures of length, dry measures, liquid measures, OT chronology, harmony of the gospels, prophecies of the Messiah fulfilled in Yahoshua, (the Messiah), the parables of Yahoshua, the miracles of Yahoshua and the Prayers of the Bible

Expanded Exhaustive Features:

  • Incorporates the best of Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words
  • Words of Christ highlighted in red
  • Enhanced word studies drawn from standard dictionaries such as Vine’s, Thayer’s, Brown-Driver-Briggs
  • Definitions of Hebrew and Greek primary roots greatly expanded; three times as much as before
  • Frequency word counts for all English words in concordance proper and Hebrew and Greek words in the dictionaries
  • Main concordance, with Strong’s numbering system, fully retained
  • Fan-Tab Thumb-Index Reference System

Strong’s Exhausive Concordance

The Interlinear Bible that has the actual words in Greek or Hebrew with the Strong’s Concordance numbers above the Greek/Hebrew word and a translation of the Greek/Hebrew into English by Jay P. Green, Sr., { General Editor and Translator}. Published by Hendrickson Publishing.

The Complete Word Study Dictionary for the New Testament by Spiros Zodhiates {keyed to the Strong’s Concordance and is a very good reference book}.

(Abbreviated to as TWOT).  Published by Moody Press.

The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (TWOT), by Gleason L. Archer and R. Laird Harris, is an extensive, scholarly discussion of every Hebrew word of theological significance in the Old Testament and is keyed to Strong's Concordance. TWOT includes the following features:

Kittel & Friedrich - Theological Dictionary Of The NT Abridged {also called The Little Kittel} ~ Dr. Geoffrey W. Bromiley ~ Gerhard Friedrich, Gerhard Kittel ~

The one volume abridgement of the 10 volume comprehensive work by Jeffrey W. Bromiley.  Published London: Paternoster, 1985 and Eerdmans (USA).  This popular condensation of Gerhard Kittel's distinguished Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (TDNT) is commonly known as the "Little Kittel."

Bromiley's abridgement enjoys wide appeal, especially to students with a limited knowledge of Greek and to scholars who want a quick and convenient "lookup" of a powerfully-distilled Kittel entry.  The "Little Kittel" has a significant amount of detail for those who want to learn about New Testament Greek words, including their theological significance, their secular Greek background, their role in the Old Testament pertaining to both Hebrew and Septuagint texts, their use in other ancient literature, their varied meanings in the New Testament

Heinrich Wilhelm Friedrich Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon of the Old Testament, (PaperBack Edition ~ keyed to Strong’s Concordance).  This is a more in-depth word study than the Lexicon found in the back of the Greek Hebrew Key Study Bible.  Edited by Francis Brown, Samuel R. Driver, Charles A. Briggs.  Wilhem Gesenius is sometimes listed as William Gesenius.

Heinrich Wilhelm Friedrich Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon of the Old Testament, (HardBack Edition ~ keyed to Strong’s Concordance).  This is a more in-depth word study than the Lexicon found in the back of the Greek Hebrew Key Study Bible.  Edited by Francis Brown, Samuel R. Driver, Charles A. Briggs.  Wilhem Gesenius is sometimes listed as William Gesenius.

In the English, a lot of words get muddled and not as specific as they are in the Hebrew or Chaldee languages.  But the word King David used for kindness in 2 Samuel 9:3 was the Hebrew word dox, (Strong’s Concordance # 2617).  We transliterate the word into English as Checed ~ kheh'-sed  {}.

It’s a word that indicates more than just little acts of kindness.  In fact, the only word equivalent to it in the New Testament is the word Agape.  The Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon of the Old Testament phased David’s words to in 2 Samuel 9:3 to say, “I will act kindly towards him like unto God”.  So, David sought out any kinfolks of Jonathan.

The Amplified Bible, (this is not a translation, but it has helped me tremendously to understand words used in Yahweh’s Word like Blessed as used in Matthew 5, or deeper, richer understanding of 1 Corinthians 13).

The Amplified Bible fails to point out that "You Have What You Say" in Mark 11:23.  But, this is also omitted in other translations including the NAS, the NIV and the NLT.

A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature-Third Edition (BDAG),

Described as an invaluable reference work and a tool indispensable for the study of early Christian literature in its previous edition, this new updated English-language edition of Walter Bauer’s Worterbuch builds on its predecessor’s staggering deposit of erudition relating to Greek literature from all periods. Including entries for many more words, the new edition also has more than 15,000 additional references to classical, intertestamental, early Christian, and modern literature. 1108 pages, Hardback

Kittel Theological Dictionary New Testament (10-Volume Set), (I’ve not owned this; however, I’ve owned the Little Kittel below, and if the big volume is as good as the Abridged version, then I think it’s worth recommending).

Edited by G. Kittel, translated by G.W. Bromiley  is an authorized and unabridged. This work was first published in the German edition in 1933. It is designed for the use of intermediate and advanced Greek student. Each significant Greek word of the New Testament is generally presented in its secular Greek background; its role in the Old Testament (both in the Hebrew and the Septuagint); its use by Philo, Josephus, the rabbinical literature; its uses in the New Testament, which is sometimes classified according to synoptic, Johannine, Petrine and Pauline usage; and sometimes the Apostolic Fathers are included as well.    There were more than 100 scholars who contributed to the work, including specialists in Old Testament, Septuagint, Hellenistic, Semitic and Rabbinic studies. Substantial bibliographies and extensive footnotes supplement the articles. Volume 10 is an index volume to the entire series, compiled by Ronald Pitkin.

This monumental reference work, complete in ten volumes, is the authorized and unabridged translation of the famous Theologisches Wörterbuch zum Neuen Testament, known commonly as "Kittel" and considered by many scholars to be the best New Testament Dictionary ever compiled. Mediating between ordinary lexicography and the specific task of exposition, TDNT treats more that 2,300 theologically significant New Testament words, including the more important prepositions and numbers as well as many proper names from the Old Testament. Presenting the words in the order of the Greek alphabet, TDNT typically discusses the following for each word: its secular Greek background, its role in the Old Testament, its use in extrabiblical Jewish literature, and its varied uses in the New Testament. Substantial bibliographies and footnotes supplement the articles.

Series Editors:

Gerhard Kittel (1888-1948) Former Professor of New Testament both at Greifswald and Tübingen. He undertook the editorial direction of Theologisches Wörterbuch zum Neuen Testament in 1928.

Gerhard Friedrich is the editor of The Theologisches Wörterbuch zum Neuen Testament, he has been Professor of New Testament at the University of Erlangen since 1954.

The translator:  

Geoffrey W. Bromiley is professor emeritus of Church History and Historical Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. He is best known as the translator of numerous theological books, including the 9-volume Theological Dictionary of the New Testament.
