Ziv

Looking for Greek G2099 euangelistḗs? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H2099. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.

Ziv appears twice in Scripture, in 1 Kings 6:1 and 1 Kings 6:37. 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.
