## What is Besorah Bible?

Read the Bible in the languages it was written in.

Besorah puts the Hebrew Tanakh, the Greek Septuagint, the Aramaic Targumim, the Greek and Hebrew New Testament and the Apocrypha beside English, in the traditional Jewish book order — with the study tools built in.

READ YOUR WAY
• Parallel, linear, reader and interlinear layouts; in the interlinear view choose the text — Hebrew, Septuagint, Targum, Greek or Hebrew New Testament
• Transliteration of every Hebrew and Greek word, as a column beside the original or under each word
• Four reading environments — Modern, Parchment, Early Print and Digital — in dark or light, with five accent colours
• Careful Hebrew and polytonic Greek typography, nikkud kept; choose how the divine Name is shown in Hebrew
• Songs set in their scribal line-shape; the Psalms in their five books; acrostics, large and small letters, inverted nuns, Ketiv and Qere and other scribal traditions marked
• An app icon that follows your accent colour, reading environment and light or dark mode — 39 to match

STUDY
• Tap any Hebrew or Greek word for its Strong’s number, parsing, definition and every occurrence
• Names explained: Neriah is a lamp + Jah, “light of Jah” — each part linked to its own entry
• Septuagint interlinear, word by word, with transliteration and English
• Quotations and parallel passages marked at both ends, wherever one book quotes another
• The Bible, connected: all 1,189 chapters on one line, every cross-reference drawn as an arc
• Songs in Scripture: 42 songs and prayers, each set in its own line-shape
• A page for every verse: every text, the interlinear, each word and its cross-references together
• Targum Onkelos, Pseudo-Jonathan and Jonathan to Isaiah in Aramaic and English
• Search every verse in every language — phrases, wildcards, +must / -exclude, regular expressions and Strong’s numbers; scope to Torah, Gospels, Targumim or any book; see hits per book
• Command palette to jump to any book, verse, word or setting

MAKE IT YOURS
• Bookmarks, colour highlights and notes; export or sync through your own iCloud Drive folder
• Weekly Torah portions with the Haftarah of every custom — Ashkenazi, Sephardi and Yemenite — and the Besorah reading beside them; daily Psalms; reading plans — with widgets for your Home Screen
• Siri and Shortcuts: “Continue reading in Besorah”, “Open John 3”
• Share a link to any passage on besorah.bible
