Looking for Hebrew H5521 çukkâh? It has the same number in Strong's Hebrew lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of G5521. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.
cholḗ appears twice in Scripture, in Matthew 27:34 and Acts 8:23. 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.
