"Whom shall God teach to knowledge, and whom shall He make to understand doctrine? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little and there a little:" Isaiah 28:9a & 10.
To learn how to study God's Word precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little, and there a little we must learn to use the Strong's Concordance because it has all the words in the Bible, where they are found in God's Word, and what these words means in their original Hebrew or Greek language.
Strong's Concordance Vocabulary Worksheet
Before you can search for all the times your word is used here a little an there a little in the Bible, you need a tool that will show you all the times a word is used in the Bible, and all the Scriptures where the word is found.

The second dictionary contains the numbers for the Greek words. You can tell the difference in the two dictionaries because the Hebrew numbers are written in upright type, the Greek numbers are written in italic style type. Caution: Start from the beginning of each dictionary to always check to make sure you are searching for your numbers in the correct dictionary.
