Aloha brother jerry,

Brother Tim Mortan has an excellent article: "The Weakness of Strong" that may answer some of your questions.
I have used Young's and Strong's Concordances (until Swordsearcher came along) for over 40 years. but I never used them as a Dictionary - not once.
For most "Old English" words I have used Webster's 1828 Dictionary - However, when it comes to any words that may have significant spiritual meaning I always use the Bible only (words like: soul, spirit, heart, mind, conscience, etc.). When it comes to spiritual meanings of some words Noah Webster may not have understood their meaning - because God may not have shown him.
Yours for Him and for His word,
George
