About BibleWordBridge
BibleWordBridge is a plain-English study aid. It helps you look up a word or passage in public-domain Bible translations, see the Hebrew or Greek behind it, and read short notes about grammar, clauses, and word families - without changing the printed text.
It is a study tool, not a replacement for reading the Bible itself, and not a substitute for pastors, teachers, or careful commentaries.
What you can do here
- Read a chapter (BSB, KJV, WEB, ASV, YLT) and tap a linked English word for a short card about the original word.
- Search by English word, Strong's number, original spelling, transliteration, or a passage reference.
- Open a verse, its surrounding section, or the whole chapter.
- Use Swipe / Today / Quiz reading modes, and optional name-meaning brackets on names (never on LORD / Lord / God).
Sources (credited on every page)
Texts and word data come from public-domain and openly licensed projects. The footer on every page repeats the required attribution. In short:
- English: Berean Standard Bible, World English Bible, King James Version, American Standard Version, Young's Literal Translation (public domain as used here).
- Hebrew / Greek word data: STEPBible (Tyndale House, CC BY 4.0) and related public-domain lexicons - see
SOURCES.md/ the page footer for the full list. - Cross-references: OpenBible.info (attribution required).
Full licensing notes live with the project (LICENSES/, SOURCES.md, LICENSING_AUDIT.md).
Drafts under review
Grammar notes, clause notes, and root / word-family notes are drafts. They are being reviewed for accuracy and clarity. Treat them as helpful pointers, check the codes and sources yourself, and do not treat them as final scholarship. Where a page says DRAFT, that label is intentional.
Limits of this MVP
- Only the translations listed above are loaded. Modern copyrighted Bibles (NIV, ESV, NASB, ...) are not included.
- Word links exist where the alignment data supports them (BSB, KJV, WEB, ASV). YLT is verse text only.
- Search is forgiving by default; use Exact only when you need a strict match.
- This public web MVP does not store your searches or IP addresses by default. Private search insights (if ever enabled by the operator) never store IPs or browser details.
- Divine names in the printed text are never annotated or altered.
