Sources & licenses

Original-language verse text is loaded from the installed Hebrew and Greek Bible sources in this app. The active source edition is shown above each original-text sentence.

Verse-aligned original-word tags, glosses, Strong's links, and grammar now come from the local STEPBible dataset submodule: STEPBible/STEPBible-Data. The TAGNT and TAHOT source files in that repository are published as CC BY 4.0.

Expanded Strong's-style meaning lists and derivation notes are supplemented from the local Open Scriptures Strong's dataset already present in this project. That supplemental dataset remains useful as long as these richer meaning lists stay enabled.
