If you need help using eSword refer to the eSword website tutorials.

    •    In the only verse where this word occurs, look at the meaning of the original word by hovering your mouse over the Strong’s number. Does this tell us anything about Lucifer?

(You could, of course, look it up in a printed Bible!)
