Open Hebrew OT

Features

Read full description

This app draws from a few open-source projects (morphHB, Open Hebrew Bible, and Eep Talstra Centre for Bible and Computer) to bring you an easy-to-use resource to learn, refresh, and engage Biblical Hebrew. Each word contains morphological information, as well as a breakdown of the parts of compound words, and, of course, definitions from Brown Driver Briggs.
