* Merkle & Plummer, Beginning with New Testament Greek
* Pratico & Van Pelt, Basics of Biblical Hebrew (edition 3)

Bible Vocab is a simple and fun way to learn vocabulary from the Greek New Testament and the Hebrew Old Testament. Watch our online tutorial here: https://youtu.be/W63jhYWNNv0

Professor Robert Plummer (co-author of Going Deeper with New Testament Greek) said about the app: 'Who could imagine that a Greek New Testament vocabulary app with this much power and flexibility even existed? I'm amazed at the intuitive design and ability to customize vocabulary acquisition to particular sections of text. I'm confident that this vocabulary app will help thousands of pastors and students read the Greek New Testament with greater fluency, confidence, and understanding. I enthusiastically endorse it.'

* Vocab Lists *
You can choose vocab lists from any passage in the Bible or from the following leading Greek and Hebrew textbooks:
* Fuller & Choi, Invitation to Biblical Hebrew
* Garrett & DeRouchie, A Modern Grammar for Biblical Hebrew
* Hackett, A Basic Introduction to Biblical Hebrew
* Pratico & Van Pelt. Basics of Biblical Hebrew (eds. 2 & 3)
* Ross, Introducing Biblical Hebrew, Baker Academic
* Seow, A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew
* Baugh, A New Testament Greek Primer
* Decker, Reading Koine Greek, Baker Academic
* Duff, The Elements of New Testament Greek
* Kostenberger, Merkle, & Plummer. Going Deeper with New Testament Greek
* Merkle & Plummer, Beginning with New Testament Greek
* Mounce, Basics of Biblical Greek
* Rollinson, Online Greek Textbook

NB. The vocab items may occasionally be in a different form to how they appear in the textbook.

* Spaced Repetition *
The smarter way to learn vocab. This allows you to test yourself on items at set intervals which increase the more times that record that know it correctly. Just tap on the spaced repetition button (the arrow button in the right corner) and it will tell you the words you need to study next.

* Reading Mode *
Use the power of spaced repetition to get better at reading whole verses in the Bible. If you've learned enough vocab in Spaced Repetition mode to cover whole verses, Reading Mode will introduce these verses to you, first with the parsing, dictionary form and glosses and thereafter you will need to read it just the original language. These verses will be shown to you at intervals which increase the more familiar you are with each verse.

* Slideshow Modes *
Vocab Mode: where you see the words in their dictionary form
Parsing Mode: where you see the words in the way they appear in the text and you are tested on their grammatical form.
Verses Mode: see whole verses as well as parsing, dictionary forms and glosses.

* Greek Audio *
Dr. George Athas from Moore College in Sydney has recorded the audio for all the words in the Greek New Testament using a restored koine pronunciation system. You can try the audio for the 100 most frequently occurring used words for free and if you like it you can pay to download more.

* Data Sources *
You can choose between four Greek Testament texts: SBL, Westcott-Hort, Tischendorf and Byzantine. The OT text is based on the Westminster Leningrad Codex, as provided by Open Scriptures. The Greek Lexicons are:
* Dodson (2010) - greeklexicon.org
* Mounce Concise Greek-English Lexicon (© 1993. William Mounce. All Rights Reserved - billmounce.com/greek-dictionary)
The Hebrew/Aramaic Lexicon is derived chiefly from the Brown-Driver-Briggs, as provided by Open Scriptures.
You can also use the glosses from the available textbooks.

isaiahme ,

Has potential but many things are lacking

Has potential but many of the functions don’t work as you would expect.

The repetition function isn’t great. You have to set a lot of things manually.

No Hebrew parsing.

For some Greek words it only gives you one gloss while it should give you many. This makes the app not trustworthy as the only source of vocab.

Scaphio81 ,

Very Limited

This app has the potential to be useful, since the “spaced repetition” function is in principle a good way to learn vocab. However it has no effective way to register known words. You must manually place each word in a higher “box”, which is tedious and slow, and even then you can only set it to reappear after a few minutes rather than a few seconds. (There are higher level “boxes” but for some reason these are not accessible.) Filtering the sample to only a particular frequency of occurrence helps to find your rough niveau, but this does not take account of your individual knowledge.

If the app were adapted to allow words to be instantly marked as “known” or “familiar”, it could be useful.

Lacks English > Greek functionality (vocab learning works best if this is mixed in), and does not give morphological information (verb principal parts, noun inflections, &c.).
