Description

Studying the Hebrew Bible? This app helps you master the essential vocabulary of Biblical Hebrew, enabling you to read the Masoretic Text directly in its original language. It brings together the 800 core lemmas of the Old Testament — plus Biblical Aramaic vocabulary as a bonus.

💰 Free app, with an optional one-time purchase (Advanced Pack) to unlock full access — up to €3.99, price may vary by country.

📖 A COMPREHENSIVE HEBREW LEXICON
For every word: academic transliteration, English translation, mnemonic hint, audio pronunciation, translated sample verses (along with all biblical occurrences), verbal paradigms, and easily confused words. With the Advanced Pack: search across the entire biblical vocabulary (5,000+ words) by translation, transliteration, or root, with expanded definitions and cognates.

🔬 IN-DEPTH WORD STUDY (NEW)
Tap directly on the main Hebrew word to open its full study:
– Attested forms in the Tanakh with exact frequencies and grammatical parsing;
– Breakdown of binyanim (verbal stems) and distribution across corpora (Torah, Prophets, Writings);
– Word family (terms sharing the same triliteral root) with learning status;
– Greek Septuagint (LXX) equivalents, synonyms, antonyms, and verses filterable by inflected form.

בּ BONUS: BIBLICAL ARAMAIC
Switch to the Aramaic corpus (Daniel, Ezra): lemmas sorted by frequency, transliteration, translation, sample verses, and Hebrew–Aramaic cognates. Progress tracked separately.

🔍 PARSE ANY WORD
Enter any Hebrew form to get its breakdown, lemma, and full morphological analysis (binyan, tense, person, gender, number).

⏳ Reading sections — Full Hebrew Bible, 4 Gospels in Hebrew, Jewish Liturgy, Catholic Liturgy, 70 Famous Passages, and Selected Psalms — include a free trial (3 months or 15 views each); beyond that, they are part of the Advanced Pack. Your bookmarks remain completely free and unlimited.

📜 THE COMPLETE HEBREW BIBLE
All 39 books of the Tanakh in pointed Masoretic Hebrew (Leningrad Codex) — nearly 1,000 chapters and over 28,000 verses. Tap any word for instant grammatical parsing.

✝️ THE 4 GOSPELS IN HEBREW (NEW)

v12.4

Good app. Well articulated. But how can I pay for it, through an online bank? Especially Opay.

Developer Response

Thank you! Levels 1–7 are 100% free. For the Advanced Pack (levels 8–10), Google Play requires its billing: add your OPay Mastercard in Google Play > Payments & subscriptions > Payment methods (enable online payments in the OPay app). You can also use card/PayPal on our web version via Ko-fi. Wishing you fruitful Hebrew studies!
