Summary

token is rendered "quantity". It stands 2 times in the Hebrew text, across two books.

  • One of the uses stand in Exodus, more than in any other book.
  • Its first use in canonical order opens the ledger below.Exodus 5:18Now get to work. You will be given no straw, yet you must deliver the full quota of bricks.”
  • The Greek text spells it two different ways.

The first use

Now get to work. You will be given no straw, yet you must deliver the full quota of bricks.”

Exodus 5:18וְתֹ֥כֶן

The first use, in the order of the Old Testament's books.

Where the word stands

One of the word's two uses is in Exodus.

The other 37 Old Testament books never use the word.

The words built on the same word-part

Each word below begins with the same letters this one begins with. A shared word-part shows a family. It does not settle what any one of them means, so each word carries its own uses on its own page. Scholars call that shared part the stem.

Other numbers on this spelling

Strong gave these words the same spelling and different numbers, so the site counts and defines them apart.

How the numbers are counted

Every count on this page comes from STEP Bible's tagged Hebrew and Greek text, the same text the ledger prints. A use is counted once each time the tagging marks a word with this key.

Spellings are counted as the Greek text spells them, with the sentence's own punctuation taken off the word first, so a form that ends a clause is not counted as a second spelling.
