About

YLV Bible

Features
Read full description

YLV Bible is a complete offline Bible study tool built around the original languages. Everything is inside the app. No sign-in, no advertising, no data collection, and no network connection is ever required — the entire 216 MB of Scripture and analysis is bundled and works in Airplane Mode. THE TEXT The Yeshua Literal Version (YLV) is our own literal translation of the Old and New Testaments, in both Korean and English. 66 books, 1,189 chapters, 31,167 verses in each language. It is a literal translation. Where a Hebrew or Greek word carries a meaning that ordinary English blurs, the original term is kept and explained rather than smoothed away. WORD-BY-WORD ORIGINAL LANGUAGE ANALYSIS Not a few sample verses — the whole Bible. - Hebrew Old Testament: 305,561 words across 23,213 verses - Greek New Testament: 140,149 words across 7,953 verses Tap any word and you get its Strong's number, its transliteration, its full morphological parsing (3,010 Hebrew forms, 1,054 Greek forms), and a lexicon definition written from public-domain sources. Four separate viewers: Hebrew and Greek, each with Korean and English glosses. CONCORDANCE From any word, see every place it occurs in Scripture, shown with the translated verse so you can read the sense at a glance — not just a list of references. ORIGINAL-LANGUAGE SEARCH Search by Hebrew or Greek characters directly, including partial consonant strings. STUDY ARTICLES Nine in-depth studies with a translator's afterword — the appointed times (moedim), the offerings of Numbers 28-29, Passover and the Last Supper, the Greek word opse, the name Yeshua, and more — plus a topical proclamation section. READING Day and night modes, adjustable text size, verse-by-verse read-aloud, and long-press to copy a verse. Your display settings are remembered per section. SOURCES AND LICENSING - Hebrew: Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (Westminster Leningrad Codex), CC BY 4.0.
