Looking for Greek G5235 hyperbállō? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H5235. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.

neker appears twice in Scripture, in Job 31:3 and Obadiah 1:12. 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.
