.2 showed you the journey from the original word to your Bible's word. 2.3 opens the original word itself. Here is something almost nobody reading an English Bible knows: a Hebrew "word" is very often two or three words glued together. הַדַּל isn't one word — it's the + weak. And it isn't rare. In 23,032 of the Old Testament's 23,261 verses, at least one word on the page is really two or more. NEW — Every Hebrew word, opened up. On the Study screen, a word that hides more than one piece now shows you the seams. The Hebrew split with a dot, the same word in our letters split the same way, each piece's English underneath, then the whole thing in natural English order. You don't need to read Hebrew to follow it — you can see the pieces line up. NEW — Arrows that show you the direction. Hebrew reads right to left; our letters read left to right. Two small arrows facing each other mark exactly where the order flips, so the line below never looks like a mistake. NEW — A "?" wherever you might have one. Small question marks now sit beside the parts of the app that raise a question — what a screen is for, where a word's meaning comes from, why a card looks the way it does. Tap for a short answer, in plain English. Ignore them and nothing changes. FIXED — No more editor's marks in your reading. Some words were showing raw formatting from the source text — stray slashes, brackets, fragments in the wrong order. Every one of those has been cleaned up across the reader, the Study cards, and Word Study. BETTER — Dark mode you can actually read. The colored bands behind the English were sitting darker than the cards they were on, which made them vanish at night. They now sit above the surface, not below it. If DeepWord has opened a verse for you, a quick rating helps another reader find it. Something feel off? Settings → "Send a suggestion" comes straight to me — every message gets read.

2.1 taught you to read the sentence. 2.2 shows the whole journey — from the original word to the exact word in your Bible. Every English word is a choice. This update lets you watch the choice being made: NEW — The word, three ways. Word Study now lays a verse's word out in three clear layers: the original Hebrew or Greek, the plain word-for-word meaning, and the word your translation actually chose — color-coded, one below the next, so you see at a glance where your Bible smoothed things over. NEW — The many English faces of a word. One Hebrew word becomes "worship," "bow down," "obeisance," "fall facedown"… DeepWord now shows every way your Bible renders a single original word, and how often — tap any one to read those exact verses. NEW — Search by meaning, not just spelling. Search "eternity" and DeepWord also surfaces the verses behind the original words for it — aiōn, olam, ad. Switch each original word on or off to widen or narrow what you find. NEW — The meaning that fits your verse, lit up. In a word's list of meanings, the sense that actually applies to the verse you're reading is now marked "in your verse." NEW — Know which translations line up exactly. For the word-tagged translations (KJV and Berean), DeepWord highlights the precise word — and now tells you so, one tap to switch. Also: definitions read cleaner (no cut-off text, no stray citations), and the meanings you open stay put as you explore. If DeepWord has opened a verse for you, a quick rating helps another reader find it. Something feel off? Settings → "Send a suggestion" comes straight to me — every message gets read.

2.0 gave you the original word. 2.1 teaches you to read the sentence it lives in. Words carry meaning. Sentences carry the argument. This update is about seeing how a verse actually thinks: NEW — The verb's real force. Was it done once or kept being done? Did he do it, or have it done to him? Word Study now explains what each verb is actually doing — and lifts the sense that fits your verse to the top. NEW — The argument, visible. "For." "Therefore." "So that." "But." These small words are the hinges every argument turns on — and translations rush past them. DeepWord now flags each one and tells you what it's doing: giving a reason, drawing a conclusion, marking a turn. NEW — Promises, kept. Where an Old Testament promise is picked up in the New, the cross-reference now says so — in both directions. Start at the promise or start at the fulfillment; the thread is yours to pull. NEW — Notes where you need them. A rare word, a repeated word, a meaning that shifted — short notes now appear right on the word, while you're reading it, not buried three screens away. Also: cross-references are now ranked by how closely they connect (with a line explaining why, and shared words highlighted), and every word card now leads with one clear meaning — the full range of readings is one tap away. Fixed: every Psalm with a title now opens fully in Study, Septuagint references read cleanly, and the Lexham English Bible is back. If DeepWord has opened up a verse for you, a rating or review truly helps other readers find it. And if something feels off — Settings now has a "Send a suggestion" button that comes straight to me. Every message gets read.

DeepWord 2.0 is our biggest update yet. NEW — Read the original, word by word. A continuous interlinear reader for any chapter: every Greek or Hebrew word with a plain-English gloss right beneath the line. NEW — Word connections. Long-press a word and see exactly what it refers to, so you always know who "he," "it," or "them" points back to. Every Hebrew word now carries a scholar's dictionary (BDB) rewritten in plain English — the kind of depth that used to take a seminary library, made readable. • Word Study, clearer: related words, every shade of meaning, and the grammar of each form — in everyday language • Names & places: tap a person or place for a built-in Bible dictionary • Follow any word everywhere it's used, then read each occurrence in context, highlighted • Save & organize your study in color-coded lists — yours to keep • Cleaner text across translations and dozens of smaller fixes Buy once. Fully offline. No subscription, no ads, no tracking.

Word Study now stays open as you navigate verses—no more losing your place. Scholarly-note cross-references are tappable, and the notes themselves are formatted in clean paragraphs with language-aware titles. Lifetime updates: still no subscription, still no ads, still fully offline.

More Greek and Hebrew depth, a new translation, and a smoother study flow. THE DICTIONARY FORM ON EVERY CARD Each word card in the Study screen now shows the word as it appears in your verse and, below the line, the dictionary form it comes from. Hebrew and Greek inflect heavily — the word in the text is rarely the word in the lexicon — so looking a word up and following it into its full entry finally lines up. Each card also labels its plain meaning as the word's general sense, so a verse's specific wording is never mistaken for the whole story. ENGLISH ON EVERY GREEK PHRASE When you study a Greek word, the set phrases it appears in now show their English right alongside — "the word of God," "the word of the Lord," and so on. No more bare Greek with verses underneath. FOLLOW A WORD BACK TO ITS ROOTS In a word study, the forms a word grows from — its root, where it derives from, its Hebrew or Greek counterpart — now read in plain English instead of bare letters. Many are tappable, too: follow one into its own entry to trace a word across the original languages, then step back the way you came. THE LEXHAM ENGLISH BIBLE (LEB) Added the LEB to your side-by-side translations — a modern, transparent translation that stays close to the original word order. That brings DeepWord to 10 English translations, traditional to literal, all switchable in one tap. JUMP STRAIGHT TO THE VERSE Tap any cross-reference or lexicon citation and the verse you wanted is highlighted the moment you arrive, so you never lose your place in the chapter. Plus a refreshed lexicon database and stability fixes.

A redesigned Study screen — more honest about what translation actually does. Every verse is now laid out as a grid of Hebrew or Greek word cards. Each card carries the original word, its Strong's number, the transliteration, the translator's English phrase, and a plain-meaning gloss showing the broader range of meanings the original word can carry. The English of the verse stays at the top so you never lose the thread. What's different. Previous versions tried to line up each English word with one original word, side-by-side. Translation doesn't work that cleanly — one Hebrew word can carry several English meanings, and one English word can compress several Hebrew morphemes. Forcing that mapping meant guessing, and the guesses were sometimes wrong. We stopped guessing. The new design shows every Hebrew or Greek word in the verse, arranged in English reading order by default so you can follow along easily, with the translator's choice and the broader meaning range on every card. For Hebrew, a one-tap toggle flips to native right-to-left layout when you want to read the verse in its actual original order. Greek stays in native order — it's close enough to English that no re-sequencing is needed. You see what each original word actually does. You see what the translator chose. The gap between them is where serious study lives. Plus stability fixes and a refreshed lexicon database.

Bug fixes in the Word Study.

Fixes for the Word Study panel: • Lexicon definitions now display cleanly with full structure — summary, senses, and scholarly notes — instead of occasionally showing scrambled prose. • Improved verse-reference coverage for less common Hebrew and Greek words.

Version 1.5 is the biggest update yet. The word-study screen is rebuilt around a simple idea: show what the translator chose AND what the original word actually means — side by side, on every verse. WHAT'S NEW - Verse word-study, redesigned. Tap any verse and see it broken into English phrases, each paired with the Hebrew or Greek root behind it. On the left: what the translator wrote. On the right: the lemma, transliteration, Strong's number, and the full range of meanings the original word can carry — not just the one the translator landed on. The contrast is the insight. - Cleaner definitions. Every lexicon entry has been restructured from dense seminary prose into clean labeled sections — summary, word forms, meanings, scholarly notes, and source. No more wall-of-text. Each scripture reference is a tappable bullet on its own line. - Tap-to-explore navigation. Tap any verse reference inside a definition and you'll jump straight to that verse. Tap another. Tap another. The back button works through the whole chain so you never lose your place. - Smarter alignment across translations. The new word-study screen works across every translation — including ones that use simpler vocabulary (like "take" instead of "eat") or hyper-literal word-for-word renderings. Where the translator used unusual wording, the app shows you honestly that it's the translator's choice. - Hebrew verbs explained. When a Hebrew verb form encodes modality ("may eat", "shall die"), the whole English phrase is correctly attached to the one Hebrew verb that contains it. The "may" and "shall" come from the verb form itself — not separate words. This is something most Bible apps get wrong. - "Verse omitted in this translation" handled gracefully. Verses like Matthew 18:11 that modern translations leave blank because they're absent from the earliest manuscripts now show a clear note explaining why, instead of appearing broken. - WEB (World English Bible) restored in the picker. Previously available as a reading translation but missing from the compare list — now consistent everywhere. WHY IT MATTERS Most Bible apps stop at showing you the English. The serious ones let you tap a word for a Strong's number. Deep Word Study Bible now goes one step further: it shows you the gap between the translator's specific word choice and the broader range of meaning the original word actually carries. That gap is where deeper Bible study lives — and most apps hide it. No subscription. No ads. No internet required. Just the text and the tools.

- Added the World English Bible (WEB), a modern English public-domain translation. - Translations now display in alphabetical order across all screens. - Word study popup is more accurate: the title shows the actual meaning of the Greek or Hebrew word (e.g. "κύριος · lord: God"), with your verse's specific rendering shown separately as "From 'X' in your verse." - Renamed "NKJV" to "RNKJV (Restored Name KJV)" — this translation restores the divine name יהוה (YHWH), and the new label more accurately reflects what it is. - New Credits & Licenses section in Settings.

What's new in 1.3.1 - Original-language word study is smarter. The verse-with-originals table no longer claims that translator filler words ("ye", "shall", "hath") are direct translations of Greek words. - When you tap a word, the modal headline now shows the Greek word's actual primary meaning, with the English word you tapped as a small contextual note below. - "Also appears in" cards no longer over-highlight on common function words (relative pronouns, prepositions, particles). - Cleaner section flow: removed the redundant top-level Synonyms preview. Each synonym still gets its own dedicated section below.

What's new in 1.3.0 - Greek/Hebrew word lookups now highlight every translation real translators actually used, across all 9 Bibles. Try tapping a Hebrew or Greek word in Galatians 3:27 — words like "clothe yourselves," "Put on," "arrayed," and "endued" now correctly light up in their respective translations. - Lexicon definitions show English meaning inline next to embedded Greek/Hebrew words (e.g. dunamin (power) instead of the bare Greek script). Tap any inline word to drill into its own study panel, then use the back arrow at the top to return. - Removed swipe gestures in the reader and study modal that were interfering with vertical scrolling.

Major update: scholar-curated cross-references with 344,000+ verse links, multi-list verse organization for sermon prep, comparative root highlighting across all of Scripture, and tappable inline lexicon references. Plus the new DeepWord brand.
