## What is Cepher?

Note to existing app users: If you are having trouble installing the new version, DO NOT UNINSTALL or you will LOSE YOUR NOTES! Please contact support with error messages and/or screenshots so we can assist!

The את Cepher is a collection of sacred scripture that restores much of what has been removed and/or incorrectly interpreted in the Bible for centuries!

• Sets forth a transliteration, rather than a substitution of the names of the Father (Yahuah), Son (Yahusha) and Holy Spirit (Ruach Ha’Qodesh).
• Transliterates over 3,100 other Hebrew names and places without substitution.
• Restores the Aleph Tav את throughout the text; previously omitted in other English translations.
• Includes all of the 81 previously canonized books, plus another 6 books considered to be inspired and/or historically significant: Chanok (Enoch) & Yovheliym (Jubilees) from the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as Yashar (Jasher), 3 & 4 Ezra (1st & 2nd Esdras), 2 Baruch, and Hadaccah (Additions to Esther) – for a total of 87 books.
• Restores an accurate order to the books as they were originally written.
• Corrects many notorious errors found in virtually all previous English translations, such as Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 14, Zakaryahu (Zechariah) 5, and Mattithyahu (Matthew) 23.
• Restores Chapters 151-155 of Tehilliym (Psalms); and the Acrostic Psalms 35 and 145, together with the Acrostic format of Qoheleth (Ecclesiastes) are marked with Ivriyt (Hebrew) indicators.
• Restores the Missing Fragment of 70 verses in 4 Ezra Chapter 7.
• Restores the 29th chapter of Ma’asiym (The Acts of the Apostles) chronicling Pa’al’s (Apostle Paul’s) journey to Spain and Britain.

The Cepher App allows you to easily search the scriptures by keyword, book, chapter or verse and is loaded with extra features, including:
• Ability to sync personalization (notes, bookmarks, etc.) across devices by opting into cloud storage.
• Highlighting available in seven different colors.
• A Lexicon of all the transliterated Hebrew words found in the את Cepher.
• The Daily Hebrew Prayers and/or Daily Scriptures on the home page.
• Links to our Weekly Torah Portion, Dr. Stephen Pidgeon’s blog, articles and other free downloads available our website.
• Ability to copy up to five verses at a time.

One-time cost covers all future updates/ revisions to the text.

### 1/5 — What’s up with Matthew 6:9-12?

*2026-06-27*

I use this app very frequently. Since this new update I noticed many changes to the text. I didn’t purchase this new updated version and it would be great if we had the option to keep the version that was originally purchased. Matthew 6:9-12 is completely different. Risen bread?? It doesn’t even align with the lexicon translation of the original text. Why would you change it? We are warned not to change the text “ For I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this cepher, If any man shall add unto these things, Elohiym shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this cepher: Chazon (Revelation) 22:18 | את Cepher 

“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may guard the commandments of Yahuah Elohaykem which I command you.” Devariym (Deuteronomy) 4:2 | את Cepher

This is not a better translation. Change it back please. Or even offer a refund to those who want one.

### 5/5 — Update For Searching Notes

*2026-04-04, version 22.0.51*

We really need the ability to search for notes. Hope this is in the works.

### 5/5 — Wish It Had a Read Option

*2026-03-07, version 22.0.49*

I like having the CEPHER, as an app on my phone. I just wish it had an option to red it for you, especially on days when your spirit is feeling lowly.

### 2/5 — Notes Not Organized

*2026-02-10, version 22.0.49*

There is no search option for my notes! Been asking for this for years now!

### 1/5 — You didn’t even add audio to the app

*2026-02-07, version 22.0.49*

CEPHER
You said this book was gonna be audible and it’s not I like Audible books. When is this book gonna be Audible? I bought this book in 2017 I believe and it’s not audible yet he could’ve did it 1000 times and he’s made up many many more books when

### 2/5 — You didn’t even add audio to the app

*2025-12-19, version 22.0.49*

CEPHER

### 3/5 — Navigating problems

*2025-12-15, version 22.0.49*

I just purchased this app and exited about the true names. But when reading a book and in a certain chapter and verse, when switching to a different book for reference, there’s no way to return to where I was. There is no History tab. Except for a bookmark that you would have to keep updating. Also the tab for the Blog sends you to a non working website. I have emailed them with no response so far…..

### 5/5 — Amazing Updates!

*2025-10-27*

Wow! I purchased this app a couple of years ago, and I began to move away from it as a result of lacking features. Today is my first day back and I am very impressed! I love that I now have the ability to save my scripture notes by syncing them to my Apple account. The new interface is very modern and appealing. I think the daily scripture on the front screen is a nice touch, and even the search feature has improved for those who don’t know the traditional names yet. I’m definitely looking forward to using it daily now.

### 1/5 — Cation with this bible

*2025-10-26, version 22.0.49*

It’s a copy of the king James bible and further more the idea was for it to contain the real name of the father and the son but yet in areas it uses Jesus in Hebrew in there very discreetly.  Be careful.

### 2/5 — It should be a sin…

*2025-10-07, version 22.0.48*

I think the CEPHER is good as a bible, but I think it should be a sin not to have iCloud or some type of syncing in 2018.

The times I’m studying on my iPad I save notes and bookmarks. Then I might have a conversation with someone and want to view something I saved previously, but now I’m on my phone and they are not there. 

Now I just upgraded my iPhone and I have to start all over again. Smh! Wow!

Update from 2018:

Now they have sync but it still doesn’t work correctly. My issue is still the same. iCloud sync doesn’t work on its own. I have to go to EACH INDIVIDUAL VERSE and hit save so it can sync over to my new iPhone 17. I can’t even trade in my old iPhone because I’m saving each verse so it can sync.
