About this app

Hesed helps you read the Bible the way scholars do. One word at a time. without needing a seminary degree.

Tap any word in any verse and see the Hebrew or Greek behind it: the original word, its transliteration, grammar, and Strong's dictionary entry. Then go deeper for every verse, Hesed gathers how the church has read it across 2,000 years, from Augustine and Chrysostom to the Reformers and modern scholars.

This is not a feed. It is a quiet, beautifully typeset reading room for Scripture.
