trying to understand the various forms that Strong's
references can have. Let me explain with an example from
BibleTime when we hover over a word and automatically
display the Strong's reference text.<br class="">
<br class="">
In the new testament (KJV and ESV2011) the Strong's
reference for "angel" is "G32". In BibleTime the "G" is
removed leaving "32" as the reference to lookup. This works
for StrongsGreek, StringsRealGreek, and AbbottSmithStrongs.
It does not work for MLStrong and Dodson.<br class="">
<br class="">
In the books StrongsGreek, StringsRealGreek, and
AbbottSmithStrongs the reference is "00032". In MLStrong and
Dodson the reference is "G0032". So, I find that "32" will
work as a key when the book reference is "00032", but "32"
or "G32" won't work if the book reference is "G0032"<br class="">
<br class="">
If I knew that Strong's references were either "Gnnnn" or
"nnnnn" I could pad zeros in the right place when a shorter
Strong's reference needs to be looked up. Or is there some
other method we can use?<br class="">
<br class="">
PS. I am told that Xiphos has the same problem.<br class="">
