About this app

Biblical Hebrew vocabulary drilled in the order the Bible actually uses it - and every verb carries its binyan.

The gap this fills
Ask anyone learning biblical Hebrew what breaks their flashcards and you get the same answer: the cards give you a verb with no stem. Knowing dabar means "speak" is not enough. It appears in piel 1,092 times and in qal only 41. A deck that teaches you the qal is teaching you the rare form.

Pink Aleph puts the attested stems on the card, counted from the text itself.

Built by counting, not by hand
Every number here was derived by parsing the Westminster Leningrad Codex - 295,957 word tokens, 7,962 distinct lemmas.

- The 2,000 commonest words, covering 86 percent of every word token in the Hebrew Bible
- 636 verbs, 536 of them attested in more than one stem
- Each verb shows its full binyan distribution with occurrence counts
- Ordered by frequency, so the first hour of study is the highest-value hour

Three ways to drill
- Hebrew to meaning
- Meaning to Hebrew
- Verb to binyan - name the stem the verb actually appears in most

Spaced repetition schedules each card, so words you know drop back and words you miss return sooner.

Six frequency bands
Work from words occurring 500+ times down to 9+, one band at a time, instead of an undifferentiated pile of vocabulary.

No account, no server
