## What is Babel?

Babel puts the Bible side by side in English, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew and Greek, one passage at a time.

TAP A WORD, SEE IT EVERYWHERE
Tap any word and its matches light up in every other version. Tap "God" in Genesis 1:1 and see 神 in Japanese and Chinese and אֱלֹהִים in the Hebrew. Tap "Word" in John 1:1 and find 言, 道 and λόγος.

FOLLOW A VERSE ACROSS THE BIBLE
Each passage lists its related verses, strongest first. Open one to read it in every version with the shared words underlined, then jump there and back.

MADE FOR IPHONE DUO
Open it up and the related verses get a column of their own beside the passage, clear of the fold.

READ SIDE BY SIDE, IN SYNC
Switch to panes to read a whole chapter in each version. Scroll one and the others keep your place.

DOWN TO THE ORIGINALS
The Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament are aligned word by word to the English, with transliteration.

READING AIDS
Furigana over Japanese, pinyin over Chinese and pronunciation over English, each on or off per version.

VERSIONS
- King James Version and Berean Standard Bible (English)
- 口語訳 Colloquial Japanese (1955), via YouVersion
- 和合本 Chinese Union Version (1919), simplified and traditional
- Westminster Leningrad Codex (Hebrew) and SBL Greek New Testament

Also: bookmarks, a book picker you can search in pinyin, and no accounts, ads or tracking.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-10-22

On iPhone Duo, open it up and the related verses sit in their own column beside the passage, clear of the fold. Words a related verse shares with your passage are now underlined, so they no longer look like the words you tap.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-21

Babel now opens with the Bibles for your iPhone's language: the King James Version and the Hebrew Old Testament, plus 口語訳 for Japanese, 和合本 in simplified characters for simplified Chinese, or 和合本 in traditional characters for traditional Chinese. Show or hide any version from the versions menu.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-20

No release notes.
