James Strong indexed all of the words of the Bible, and included a lexicon with his concordance, so that Bible students would be able to look up the meaning of the original Hebrew or Greek word used in any given passage.

There is also a link to the root word, and a link to another dictionary that will give an expanded definition of the word. UTILIZING THE ONLINE BIBLE: Slide 14 of 18
