A useful tool for the Bible student, a concordance is a reference volume

similar to a dictionary. It is an indexing of "all" the words of the Bible and
where they are found in Scripture. The words are arranged in alphabetical
order to simplify a manual search. So, if you cannot remember a certain
text, but you can recall a word or two from the text, look-up those known
words in the concordance and find all of the references in Scripture where
the words are used.
