Strong's References
  • H176 — אוֹ (ʼôw, o): presumed to be the 'constructive' or genitival form of אַו (ʼav) ; short for אַוָּה (ʼavvâh) H185; desire (and so probably in Proverbs 31:4); hence (by way of alternative) or, also if; also, and, either, if, at the least, [idiom] nor, or, otherwise, then, whether.
  • H510 — אַלְקוּם (ʼalqûwm, al-koom'): probably from אַל (ʼal) H408 and קוּם (qûwm) H6965; a non-rising (i.e. resistlessness); no rising up.
  • H2223 — זַרְזִיר (zarzîyr, zar-zeer'): by reduplication from זוּר (zûwr) H2115; properly, tightly girt, i.e. probably a racer, or some fleet animal (as being slender in the waist); [phrase] greyhound.
  • H4428 — מֶלֶךְ (melek, meh'-lek): from מָלַךְ (mâlak) H4427; a king; king, royal.
  • H4975 — מֹתֶן (môthen, mo'-then): from an unused root meaning to be slender; properly, the waist or small of the back; only in plural the loins; [phrase] greyhound, loins, side.
  • H8495 — תַּיִשׁ (tayish, tah'-yeesh): from an unused root meaning to butt; a buck or he-goat (as given to butting); he goat.

The following Strong's numbers are referenced in the Hebrew (Westminster Leningrad Codex) text but were not explicitly tagged in the KJV source:

  • H5973 — עִם (ʻim, eem): from עָמַם (ʻâmam) H6004; adverb or preposition, with (i.e. in conjunction with), in varied applications; specifically, equally with; often with prepositional prefix (and then usually unrepresented in English); accompanying, against, and, as ([idiom] long as), before, beside, by (reason of), for all, from (among, between), in, like, more than, of, (un-) to, with(-al).
