Looking for Greek G3960 patássō? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H3960. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.
lâshan appears twice in Scripture, in Psalms 101:5 and Proverbs 30:10. 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.
