I cannot figure out how to find say strongs number "06754" and everywhere that strongs number appears in the bible. Does anyone know how to do this? reachtim@gmail.com

The reference type used for that is a Concordance. The most famous being Strong's but there are others.

Versions are available for many popular translations.

I'm pretty sure Exhaustive Concordances are available for KJV, NASB, NIV, ESV. I'm sure there are others.

And computer programs make it the easiest when they have the references available. With a computer it's usually so easy to switch between translations that it doesn't much matter which translation you have a concordance for, you can do pretty well with any. Look up the greek word for the translation you have the concordance for, get the list of verses, look through them in the translation you prefer. Very little difference in the base text of most modern translations, a bit more going to the KJV but still quite usable.

You also have text search capabilities on computers so if you have a translation with the Strong's numbers, you can do a simple text search for the number. Or even search a Greek text, but realize that different endings can change the results compared to a Strong's number search. So if you have a translation with Strong's numbers, you can find the matches even without a Concordance as such.

I'm sure there are ways to search online as well but I haven't used them.

Welcome to the forum, Tim!

If you don't mind working with the KJV, you can use the online Strong's Concordance at http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html. Enter the English word, such as "image," and then search. The search will take you to the concordance listing for the English word "image" in the KJV, with the word in question appearing in red and Strong's numbers next to each occurrence. You'll see from the various Strong's numbers that different Greek and Hebrew words are translated as "image" in the KJV. The first occurrence of "image" is in Gen 1:26 and the Strong's number there is 06754. Clicking on the Strong's number will take you to the lexical entry for the original language word, followed by a concordance listing for every occurrence of that Hebrew word. You may also want to take note of the other Hebrew words translated as "image." (And maybe the Greek words.) Sometimes the different Hebrew or Greek words which are translated into the same English words are related to one another. Sometimes they may be unrelated and have very different meanings. As in English, Greek and Hebrew words have ranges of meanings and the intended meaning in a particular passage will be determined by the context in which it is used.
