Interlinear Bible Study
Explore Scripture word-by-word in the original languages
What is Interlinear Study?
Interlinear Bible study allows you to examine Scripture in its original Hebrew (Old Testament) and Greek (New Testament) languages, word-by-word. Each word shows:
- Original Text — The Hebrew or Greek word as written in ancient manuscripts
- Transliteration — How the word is pronounced in English letters
- Strong's Number — A reference number linking to detailed lexical information
- English Translation — How the word was translated in the KJV
- Parsing — Grammatical information (verb tense, noun case, etc.)
- Definition — The word's meaning and usage
How to Use
Simply navigate to any verse page on this site. If interlinear data is available for that verse, you'll see a "Word-by-Word Analysis" section that you can expand to explore each word in detail.
Click on any Strong's number to view comprehensive lexical information at BibleHub.
