Hebrew (Old Testament): Westminster Leningrad Codex, from the oldest complete Hebrew Bible (c. 1008 CE). Public domain; word data © Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (CC BY 4.0). Verse numbers follow the English Bible; where Hebrew numbering differs (often in Psalms), the Hebrew is matched to the English verse.
Greek (New Testament): Robinson–Pierpont Byzantine Textform 2013 (public domain), the form found in most later manuscripts. Modern translations like the BSB follow older manuscripts, so they sometimes differ. That's a feature: see How we got the Bible.
English: Berean Standard Bible (modern, public domain since 2023), King James Version (1769 edition), Young's Literal Translation (1898, very word-for-word).
Word meanings: Strong's dictionaries (1890s), digitized by Open Scriptures (CC-BY-SA). They're a starting point; modern dictionaries are more precise.
Tip: link to any passage by adding it to the address, like bible.html#Isa.7.14 or bible.html#Matt.5.17-19. You can also type a reference into the search box at the top of any page.
