Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament

The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (aka "TWOT") is edited by R. Laird Harris, Gleason L. Archer, Jr., and Bruce K. Waltke. TWOT is a 2-volume set, dealing with the Hebrew/Aramaic words in the Old Testament that have a theological significance. It gives a short definition to every Old Testament word, but goes theologically in-depth on the words that are considered to be necessary and noteworthy to clarity and contextual understanding of the Old Testament. The TWOT uses its own numbering system that is tied to the more commonly available Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, Hebrew identification numbers. To effectively use the TWOT, you simply look up the Strong's number in the Index section at the very back of each volume and take note of the corresponding TWOT number beside it. Use this number to locate the entry in either of the two volumes. Volume 1 contains TWOT numbers 1-1268, and Volume 2 contains TWOT numbers 1269-3067. WHAT DOES THE NUMBER MEAN?
