A '''concordance''' is a [[book]] that lists every word that appears in another book alphabetically, alongside all the places on which that word appears. The most common concordances are biblical concordances, which are used by scholars and lay people to find what the [[Bible]] has to say on any given topic. For example, looking up '[[leviathan]]' reveals that the beast is referenced twice in [[Job]], twice in the [[Psalm]]s and once in [[Isaiah]], usually when making reference to the great power of [[God]].
