The Lexham Hebrew-English Interlinear linked to Strong’s would be a very useful feature.  Please show some love to Old Testament/Hebrew Bible!  Thank you

    While there isn't a link in the Lexham Interlinear, the Strongs number is tagged in the Reverse Interllinear fields of Bibles.

    Does this help you at all?

    I get the feeling Strongs is verbotin, in original language resources (hebrew, lxx, greek, etc). 

    James Strong had some interesting comments in his lexicon. Most forumites throw Strongs out, forgetting the lexicon.  Luckily, the Enhanced Strongs Lexicon responds to original language resources. It's somewhat unique in being indexed by hebrew, aramaic, and greek, plus linking to Strongs, TWOT, and TDNT as well.

    Hi Graham.

    Thank you for the response.

    Yes I am aware of the reverse interlinears.  But I much prefer the LHE to get as far as I can before getting stuck.  And what I love about Strong’s is the ease of access to root words and streamlining.  There are plenty of other resources for more in-depth study.

    Strong‘s linking is permitted in the Lexham Greek-English Interlinear, and it just seems the LHE is a little neglected by comparison.

    As a proud member of the anti-Strong's numbers forumites, I must object your honor. I am not anti James Strong's works in general, I am anti-Strong's numbers because (a) the Greek covers the textus receptus rather than the critical edition, (b) modern electronic links make them unnecessary crutch to learning to use lemmas, and (c) they are yet another tool made to help students that gets abused in certain exegetical methods to encourage people who don't know the original languages to waste time playing language scholar rather than studying the Bible.

    We now need the ghost of George to step in with his rant on interlinears and reverse interlinears. I have my [Y] at the ready.

    Fortunately, I can simply ignore Strong's numbers so I need not rant frequently.

    Shalom bsc!

    Would this be very different than if you just link the Lexham Hebrew English Interlinear and your preferred Strong's Lexicon in the same link set?

    Thank you for your kind reply showing hesed!

    My approach to the LHE is to read the Hebrew first until I discover a word I’m not familiar with.  Then I prefer Strong’s out of habit.  As I understand it, the linking you suggested requires the addition of an English Bible.  I would prefer to keep it simple, just like the Lexham Greek-English NT Interlinear.

    No, it will also work with just the LHI and a Strong's Lexicon (or two Strong's lexicons as in the screenshot below). When you click on a word in the LHI the lexicon will automatically jump to the lemma:

    Hi HJ,

    Thanks again for taking the time to respond.  But does this work on the app with an iPad? It doesn’t seem to, and more often than not that’s what I’m using.

    Ah, I did not know you were working with an iPad. The method I was referring to only works on the desktop (and web app).

    What lexicon will open on your iPad if you long press on a word in the Lexham English-Hebrew interlinear? If you want a Strong's lexicon to open you will have to prioritize this resource in desktop app. This prioritization will then synchronize with the mobile app.

    Shalom HJ,

    Thanks again for your reply and help.

    Long press has been pulling up HAL.  I’ve set ”The New Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words” to top priority in my laptop and the app is still pulling up HAL.

    As above, only the Enhanced Strongs Lexicon responds to lemma queries; the other 2 english headwords.

    Oh great. Now, it's the Inspired TR in question. I agree with your logic. But I still like to study the earlier strategies. And a more modern one ... Anderson-Forbes.

    FL uses the acronym LHI for the Hebrew interlinear. Just letting you know so there's no confusion.
