About the Bible Transliteration Project

Welcome to the Bible Transliteration Project! Thank you for visiting. This tool allows you to explore the King James Bible with select Hebrew and Greek words transliterated. Pick out a few words you already know and add them to the list. You might be surprised what you uncover.

This is a personal passion project by its creator. To date, I haven't found a site that does quite this same function, seamlessly blending languages and allowing readers to make new connections with familiar verses. As happy as I am with its function, I am not a web developer, and my hope is that the idea is picked up by another, fully-functional website. I've included some of my favorites below.

How to Use This Tool

1. Use the "Edit transliterated word list" link to customize which words are transliterated and a highlight color, if you want.
2. On the home page, enter a book name and chapter number.
3. Click "Go" to view the chapter with transliterations.
4. Hover over transliterated words to see the original English text.
5. Scroll below a chapter for its rare original-language phrases — short Hebrew or Greek wordings, like Joseph's coat of many colours, that echo in exactly one other chapter. Each links to every place the same original phrase appears.

Phrase discovery works purely from the public-domain KJV Strong's text: a phrase is an ordered run of the underlying Hebrew/Greek lexical tokens, so the connection follows the original wording rather than an English coincidence.
