Research compiled using the Berea Bible Service (berea.publifye.pro) and orchestrated by Claude (Anthropic), with structural review by Gemini (Google). Every etymological claim is verifiable against the Strong’s numbers and dictionary entries cited.
An interactive edition is available at paul.publifye.org, featuring clickable Bible verse references that display full verse text, and clickable Greek/Hebrew terms that show Strong’s Concordance definitions.
Bible Translations
Primary text: King James Bible (1611, Pure Cambridge Edition). Additional translations consulted: KJV Strong’s (word-level analysis), Biblia Sacra Vulgata (Jerome, 405 AD), Young’s Literal Translation (1898), Modern Greek New Testament (1904), and the Hebrew Leningrad Codex (1008 AD). Berea provides 59 translations in total; these six yielded specific insights cited in the text.
Dictionaries
Every proper noun was cross-referenced against all eleven dictionaries available through Berea: Hitchcock’s Bible Names Dictionary (1869), the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE), Easton’s Bible Dictionary, Fausset’s Critical and Expository Commentary, Smith’s Bible Dictionary, Hawker’s Poor Man’s Concordance, Nave’s Topical Bible, Torrey’s Topical Textbook, Wilson’s Dictionary of Bible Types, the American Tract Society Dictionary (ATS), and Webster’s Bible Dictionary.
Word Study Tools
Strong’s Concordance, word frequency analysis, morphological parsing, Treasury of Scripture Knowledge cross-references (393,000+ verse connections), word-family tracing, co-occurrence search, reverse concordance lookup, and verse-level word mapping.
A Note on Method
Where a name’s meaning is linguistically certain — as with Hebrew and Greek words verified through Strong’s — we state the connection directly. Where it relies on traditional dictionary interpretations of non-Semitic names (Lycaonian, Latin, Anatolian), we present these as the historical lexical tradition — a “spiritual geography” — rather than modern linguistic certainty. Where dictionaries diverge, we note both readings. The resonances are real; the reader may judge their origin.

Acts 17:11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
