H4053 migrâphâh

מִגְרָפָה

clod

Looking for Greek G4053 perissós? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H4053. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.

migrâphâh appears once in Scripture, in Joel 1:17. In the Doxa app, open that verse, keep your notes on it, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
