    Here's a self-service way to answer any question like this one.

    Get an Exhaustive Bible Concordance and look it up. This is a book that will list every time a word is mentioned in the Bible. You can get them for various translations. You can even get them in the original languages. They cost $20 to $30 depending on what you get.

    the word came 129 times in the bible but have different meanings for ex. [ King James ]-[ Ex:33:21 ]-[ And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: ]

    [ King James ]-[ Sm1:2:2 ]-[ There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. ]

    [ King James ]-[ Mt:16:18 ]-[ And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ]

    [ King James ]-[ Lk:8:6 ]-[ And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. ]
