Let's start with observation - what do you see? One skill is to examine, instead of presume, what the words or terms mean.

Does the root word help shed light on understanding the term?

For those who desire more, consider a deeper Bible study by examining the Hebrew or Greek term, which the Bible translation is based on,

to understand the term within the context of the author and

his period of time.
