Description
User: There is a mistake within Strong's Greek Dictionary itself. It is this:
Acts 1:13 mentions "Matthew", giving Strongs 03156 as "Matthaios, a shorter form of 3164; Matthaeus (i.e. Matthitjah)..."
BUT, 3164 is "machomai, middle voice of an apparently primary verb; to war...", whereas 03161 ("Mattathias") seems closest to "Matthaeus", and the Hebrew origin it refers to (4993, "Matthitjah") is "Mattithyah".
Karl: It's an OCR error.
I just checked my real (print) Strong's. The entry for 3156 notes being
a shorter form of 3161 (as suggested), not 3164.
FYI, StrongsRealGreek in the Xiphos repo has been updated, version
1.4-110905, to reflect this fix (3156, ref 3164 => 3161) as well as a
similar, previously reported glitch in 5043 (ref 5098 => 5088).
