How?
A word referring to the way in which an event is performed, normally used to find out how, but often used in rhetorical questions to express one's conviction that the event cannot be performed at all under the given circumstances
Examples1 Chronicles 13:12 David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring the ark of God home to me?”
Daniel 10:17 “For how can such a servant of my lord talk with such as my lord? As for me, there remains just now no strength in me, nor has any breath been left in me.”
How it’s used
Every occurrence, grouped by the words it is grammatically related to.
When two words share a role, as in “Paul and Barnabas said”, the verse appears under each, so a section’s counts can add up to more than the number of occurrences.
