Sacred Scriptorium vs Jot

Every day, Sacred Scriptorium sets a small portion of Scripture on your desk — the next few untranslated verses of the book you've chosen, in the original Greek or Hebrew. You render them in your own words. That's the whole practice: ten minutes, most days, and verse by verse the Scriptures become your own translation. MADE FOR REAL PROGRESS • Today's portion picks up exactly where you left off — no syllabus, no falling behind • Tap any word for its dictionary form, meaning, and full parsing; help when you want it, silence when you don't • Optional transliteration under the Greek while your alphabet confidence grows • A daily streak, and Stats that show how much of the New Testament is in your own words • Peek at the Berean Standard Bible on demand — hidden by default, so the rendering stays yours THE COMPLETE GREEK NEW TESTAMENT All 27 books of the SBL Greek New Testament ship in the app, with word-by-word morphology and the SBLGNT's own critical apparatus for readers who want to see the textual variants. THE HEBREW BIBLE, BOOK BY BOOK Hebrew Bible books (Westminster Leningrad Codex) with morpheme-level analysis — prefixes, suffixes, and stems each explained, with qere/ketiv notes. YOUR TRANSLATION, ACCUMULATING • The My Translation shelf fills in verse by verse, book by book • Revise any verse; keep parallel translation sets (a literal pass, a colloquial one) • Write chapter notes right from the translation desk • Study any chapter in side-by-side panes: original, your translation(s), the Berean Standard Bible, and your notes — two panes on iPhone, up to four on iPad and Mac • Compose and share any span of verses as clean prose, with your own paragraphing VOCABULARY THAT STICKS A spaced-repetition trainer built from New Testament frequency tiers quietly grows what you can read unaided — and everything you translate feeds what the app knows you know. FREE TO START, ONE PURCHASE FOR EVERYTHING John, Philippians, and 1 John in Greek, and Jonah and Ruth in Hebrew, are free forever — months of daily practice. A single small one-time purchase unlocks every other book of the Greek New Testament and the Hebrew Bible. No subscription, ever. QUIET BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no tracking.

Learn to read the Hebrew Bible, ten minutes at a time. Jot takes you from your very first Hebrew letter to reading real verses from the Bible for yourself. You’ll start with the alphabet and vowels, but you won’t spend weeks memorizing them alone. Every lesson connects what you’re learning to an actual line of Scripture. Before long, you’ll be reading Genesis 1 in Hebrew, recognizing words you know, and beginning to understand how the language works. Jot takes you from the Hebrew alphabet through learning to form letters and vowels into vocabulary, grammar, and real Bible reading. LEARN • Learn the Hebrew alphabet and vowels through tracing, sounds, and words • Build vocabulary and grammar around verses you’ll actually read • Keep lessons short and focused, usually just two or three new things at a time • Review words at the right time so they stay fresh • Record yourself reading Hebrew and compare your pronunciation with Jot • Watch Bible passages come to life as the words you’ve learned light up on the page READ Open the Hebrew Bible anytime and put what you’re learning into practice. • Read the entire Hebrew Bible, one chapter at a time • Follow along with the Berean Standard Bible, King James Version, Young’s Literal Translation, or Literal Standard Version • Tap any Hebrew word to see how it sounds, what it means, its grammar in plain English, how it’s translated, where it first appears, and its Strong’s number • See how much of each chapter you already understand • Follow daily Bible reading plans throughout the year PRACTICE Learning Hebrew should feel rewarding. • Play eight quick games covering letters, vowels, and vocabulary • Build a daily streak and choose when you want to be reminded • Keep track of every word you’re learning and how well you know it A few minutes each day adds up. The goal is simple: open the Hebrew Bible and begin recognizing it as a language you can actually read. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. Jot works offline.
