QUESTION: Mr. Bode;
I don't know  under what word it appears. I actually do not even know  this word exists in the book or not.
a Muslim,  claimed that in the p 64 of The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible the sentence: "Mahamadem: the great and most praised" appears and I want to show the falsehood of this claim.
do you have access  to this book?
can you upload that page?

thanks for your help.
Philip.

Answer
I have searched several research websites on the Concordance but was unable to find a reference to Mahamadem. I searched Mah, Moh, Muh. I did not find a free search by pages.
A Jerusalem Targum for Gen 21:21 mentions him --obviously a late insertion.  I did check the Concordance at this place, but did not find the word that we are seeking.
Even if the word-phrase does appear in the Concordance, what would that prove?.  A word-phrase that appeared in one, old concordance comment has no real value to show a biblical praise for Mahamadem.
You could ask the person who gave you the reference to see the reference or at least explain to which bible word that phrase appears.
If you would like more from me, please feel free to write again.
Best wishes, Philip.
