Use Strong's responsibly

Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.

GK: η δε περιοχή της γραφής ην ανεγίνωσκεν ην αύτη ως πρόβατον επί σφαγήν ήχθη και ως αμνός εναντίον του κείροντος αυτόν άφωνος ούτως ουκ ανοίγει το στόμα αυτού
