Discover the Bible in its original Jewish context with the Tree of Life Version (TLV) Bible App—an authentically Jewish English translation that brings clarity, depth, and continuity to Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.
The TLV was created to restore the Hebraic language, culture, and worldview of the Bible—uniting the Tanakh and the New Covenant in one seamless story centered on Messiah Yeshua (Jesus).
Whether you are Jewish or Christian, the TLV helps you engage Scripture as its original authors and first readers understood it.
Unlike traditional English Bible translations, the TLV preserves Jewish names, concepts, and theological continuity—helping readers:
- Deepen their faith
- Understand the Jewish identity of Jesus and the apostles
- Reconnect Scripture to its Hebrew foundations

I have tried many Bible apps. I’ve stuck with the main Bible app most people use since it has all the versions. But I have to say, this one might be my favourite. I’m not Jewish but I’ve been wanting to learn more about the culture and viewpoint, and to read the bible more through that lens. The translation is great, but even putting that aside this app overall has a wholesome feel to it. Just to clarify, I rarely write words to a review, unless I have a complaint. But I like the UI of this app and how there are cool explanations of this like the Jewish calendar. Anyway, I will be recommending it to people who I feel like are hungry to grow and are tired of the same old church interpretations of passages and maybe a bit stagnant or stuck. I like to read and compare verses in lots of translations, but I plan to keep this app since it has some helpful diagrams and explanations of things. High five to the team that has put this together!
Suggestion
SpikeGonzo
I have been walking with Jesus for since 1995, my friend have introduced TLV on Facebook. I took look at TLV few years ago and been so fascinated and I totally forget about TLV. I am strong NLT user. This year was the year I am focusing on Lord more than before. TLV popped on my thought as I see on BIBLE app. So I plan get TLV bible to add to my personal bible study. Also I found out there’s TLV app. I signed for one month free. I was little disappointment (I admit this talk is getting old and I keep telling those “ignorance” people same again and again but I have to show with God’s grace I need to talk gently). Ok your video don’t include nothing of subtitles even I tried to use live caption it’s not cooperating. So my strong suggestion include subtitles. You have no idea there are million Deaf Christians out there. It wud make monthly subscription worth it. I won’t keep my monthly subscription ongoing so not fair to other. I usually use Bible app and Bible Gateway plus and other Bible study app. So my strong suggestion to fix it. Thank you for your time to read this. Shalom.
Really good

I love the new version of this app. I love that there is a proverb of the day, verse of the day, and daily reading. What I love most is the monthly observance/semi-annual season/yearly observation section at the bottom half of the home page, and the calendar. I had recently downloaded a Hebrew calendar app to try and stay up to speed with where we are on the Jewish calendar and what it all means. THIS app lays it out perfectly, as well as providing practical application, which is nice. I have since deleted that Hebrew app and will refer to this one from now on. I love knowing that we’re in a seed time!
Absolutely love the TLV!

This review is for the app; the TLV version itself gets 5 stars! I’ve been using the TLV Bible since the new covenant came out well over 10 years ago. I enjoy everything the app has to offer, and I’d like to use it more in my quiet time, BUT I don’t out of inconvenience: it won’t rotate to landscape mode. I have an ipad with magic keyboard, but the app is always sideways and won’t rotate. I have to remove the keyboard and carefully use it that way. I’d love to see the app be able to rotate. I’d be happy even if it didn’t fill the width of the landscape screen but had the black bars on the side. Thank you for taking time to read my first world problem.Blessings in Messiah Yeshua!
