We Completely Remapped Our Hebrew Data

In March of 2021, a specialized Blue Letter Bible team began work on mapping all of our KJV and NASB95 Hebrew data to the English equivalents in those translations. We are excited to announce that after nearly three years of development, by God's grace, we have completed this project as of November 2023. This includes over 46,000 total verses mapped (23,000 per version) and over 532,000 Hebrew words updated (266,000 per version)—all of which took over 2,000 cumulative hours of work!

Effectively, mapping refers to connecting every Hebrew word to every English word. However, there are many instances where a single Hebrew word is linked to multiple English words, and vice versa. Prior to this project, users could only see the generic Hebrew (or Aramaic) "root form" for many words and phrases in the Old Testament, rather than being able to see the specific Hebrew (or Aramaic) "inflected form" from which each English word was translated in every Old Testament verse. Due to the massive scope and complexity of this project, we needed a team of specialists to methodically work through the data. And so, through our seminary contacts, we hired several Hebrew language specialists to begin mapping.

The accuracy of our tools and resources is vital to us because of its importance to rightly dividing the Word of God. Therefore, we aim to develop and enhance the tools and resources that we offer so that you, our users, can more faithfully understand God's Word. With this thorough mapping of Hebrew to English, we pray that God will use our efforts to bless your time in the study of His Word for His glory.

Our sincere thanks go out to the dedicated team members who spent many hours diligently linking words and reviewing verses. Back in 2022, we took some time to interview a few of them to get their thoughts on the project. If you would like to learn a little bit more about the project, you can watch an edited version of that Q&A on our YouTube channel.
