Looking for Hebrew H113 ʼâdôwn? It has the same number in Strong's Hebrew lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of G113. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.

áthesmos appears twice in Scripture, in 2 Peter 2:7 and 2 Peter 3:17. In the Doxa app, open each of these verses, keep your notes on them, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
