Word study

This is the study of individual words in the bible.This is through a process of analyzing individual words to gain deeper insight into the meaning of verses, paragraphs, chapters, and the entire book.The steps used in word study are:

1. Select the Word:

Choose a key word from a verse that needs further understanding, especially if it’s repeated or difficult to grasp.

2. Study the Word within its Context:

Examine the word’s usage within the specific chapter and paragraph to get a better understanding to avoid misinterpretation.

3. Determine the Meaning of the Word:

Use tools like a concordance or a Bible word study book to find the word’s meaning, considering variations in meaning when used in different contexts. Cross-reference with additional references in your Bible’s center margin or modern dictionaries.

4. Summarize Your Study:

Summarize the findings from the previous steps, noting the word’s meaning from various sources like Bible margins, word study books, concordances, and modern dictionaries. Record the book, chapter, verse number, and the word studied
