Yes, I have come across the Blue Letter Bible before. It seems very useful. Thanks.

Agreed, but first, you need to know that it is necessary to look up a particular word in a dictionary. A number of words and phrases have completely changed their meanings since the KJV translation was made. Why should we look up things like "prevent", "fetched a compass," and "carriages?" We...
