Range Option Help

This is a short guide explaining how to use our Range Option feature. We also feature a more thorough explanation of how to use our Bible Search.

Our option for custom ranging allows you to define your own parameters for your search. In order to refine a search using this method, you may list books, chapters, and verses according to the rules below.

  • A seimcolon (;) is used to seperate reference ranges.
  • A hyphen (-) is used to denote a range between references.
  • A colon (:) as per standard biblical notation seperates the chapter number reference from its associated verse number.

Some examples will probably be helpful here:

work + Gen;Jdg;Psa-Mal
