Why use an expository dictionary or lexicon when studying words?  Why not just a dictionary?

 

Observe.  The following is from a topic we covered recently.

 

Katastole

a lowering, letting down a garment let down, dress, attire

Lexicons – New Testament Greek Lexicon – New Testament Greek Lexicon – King James Version – Katastole

 

This is from an expository dictionary:

<4,,2689,katastole>

connected with katastello, “to send or let down, to lower” (kata, “down,” stello, “to send”), was primarily a garment let down; hence, “dress, attire,” in general (cp. stole, a loose outer garment worn by kings and persons of rank, Eng., “stole”); 1 Tim. 2:9, “apparel.” See CLOTHING.

 

The following is obviously from a lexicon:

When studying the Bible it depends on whether you want to know that basketball is a team sport, a ball game, or you want to know how to play!
