    :D I think I have found it, it is done by an internal search in the Bible.

    That depends on the bible you are interested in searching for a particular word.  The only thing one can say with any degree of certainty is in regard to the original languages.  All other bibles (translations) will have a different number of occurrences from other translations.  Use a bible search to find the number of occurrences in the translations.  You can use a morphological search for the lemma of an original language word.
