什么是圣经原文汇编？
它只是按原文字母顺序对圣经中的每个单词进行了的汇编，并附有章节和经文索引，以便读者找到使用这些单词的圣经经节。它是圣经中单词的索引。
顺便说一句，史特朗经文汇编(Strong's Concordance)不是第一本也不是唯一的英语经文汇编。 Strong's 是第一个按单词字母顺序匹配数字的编号系统。
- 1230 年，红衣主教 Hugo de Saint-Cher 完成了第一本圣经索引的 Vulgate（拉丁语）汇编。
- 1448 年， Isaac Nathan ben Kalonymus 出版了第一部希伯来语汇编。
- 1546 年，伯肯 (Birken) 编写了第一部希腊语新约圣经汇编。
- 1535 年，托马斯·吉布森 (Thomas Gybson) 编写了第一部英文汇编（仅限新约）。
- 几个世纪后，亚历山大·克鲁登 (Alexander Cruden) 出版了对照英文钦定本的汇编 (1737)。乔治·威格拉姆 (George Wigram) 也出了汇编 The Englishman's Greek Concordance of New Testament (1839) and The Englishman's Hebrew and Chaldaic Concordance (1843)。
- 然后是对照英文钦定本的杨格氏汇编Young's Analytical Concordance (1879)，和史特朗的汇编 (1890)。
时至今日，仍可买到 Cruden's、Wilgram's、Young's 和 Strong's的印刷版汇编。由此可见这些书的重要性。
现在有很多圣经软件，单词搜索和生成单词列表不再是问题了。都可以在弹指之间立即生成。斯特朗的原文编号另有一个更大的新用途，用来比较不同的语言的对译。除此之外，许多词典和圣经词典也使用原文编号，这样任何基督徒只要对希伯来语或希腊语有一点了解，就可以访问更多的参考书。
What is a Bible Concordance?
It is simply a list, alphabetically, of every word in the Bible, with chapter and verse references so that the reader to locate the passages of the Bible where the words are being used. It is just like an index of the words in the Bible.
By the way, Strong's is not the first nor the only English concordance. Strong's is the first to use a numbering system matching the words in alphabetical order.
- The first Bible concordance was keyed to the Vulgate (Latin), completed in 1230, by Cardinal Hugo de Saint-Cher.
- The first Hebrew concordance (Meïr Netib) was the work of Isaac Nathan ben Kalonymus, finished in 1448.
- The first Greek New Testament concordance was by Birken in 1546.
- The first English concordance was by Thomas Gybson in 1535 (New Testament only).
- Centuries later, Alexander Cruden's Concordance (KJV, 1737). The Englishman's Greek Concordance of New Testament (1839) and The Englishman's Hebrew and Chaldaic Concordance (1843), both by George Wigram.
- Followed by more English KJV concordances: the useful Young's Analytical Concordance (1879). and then the Strong's concordance (1890).
Cruden's, Wilgram's, Young's, and Strong's are still currently available in print. This shows how important these books are to Bible students.
Nowadays, there is a lot of Bible software, word search and generating a word list are no longer an issue. They can be generated in no time at your fingertips. Strong's number system finds greater and new use in comparing different languages, as well as many lexica and Bible dictionaries also use the same Strong's Number, so that any Christian can access more reference books with minimal knowledge of Hebrew or Greek.
