About this page
Script Bible is a Bible reading and study app. This page lists the texts and datasets it displays, and how to send a correction.
Script Bible is independently built. Editorial pages (book guides, entity descriptions, and topics) are written and revised by the operator and may contain errors. They are not a substitute for academic commentaries. Corrections: Contact or hello@script.bible.
Bible texts
The World English Bible (WEB) is dedicated to the public domain under CC0. It is distributed by eBible.org and worldenglish.bible. Longer rights notes for the edition we display are on the WEB version page.
The King James Version (KJV) is in the public domain in many jurisdictions; Crown rights apply in the United Kingdom. Longer rights notes are on the KJV version page.
Cross-references
Cross-references in the reader combine two sources stored on each row: OpenBible.info and Scrollmapper. The set is ranked with the stored votes field from those datasets. Both projects are used as a cross-reference source.
Original language and Strong's
Lemma, transliteration, and definitions are derived from the MetaV dataset (theonize/KJV-bible-database-with-metadata), licensed CC BY-SA 3.0.
Hebrew (Westminster Leningrad Codex) and Greek (Nestle 1904) tokens, lemmas, and morphology are from the MACULA Hebrew and MACULA Greek Linguistic Datasets (Clear-Bible), licensed CC BY 4.0.
Hebrew verse-number mappings are adapted from STEP Bible TVTMS, based on work at Tyndale House Cambridge, under CC BY 4.0. Script Bible adapts the mappings to its reader and handles split verses using MACULA word positions.
Bible dictionaries
Word details include excerpts from Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897) and Smith's Bible Dictionary (1863), both in the public domain. The local text comes from the Bible Dictionary Dataset by NEUU, whose parsed data is licensed CC BY 4.0. Entries are matched to attested English word forms. The source dataset limits some long entries to 5,000 characters; links on word pages lead to the full dictionary articles.
People, places, and maps
The people and places index is editorial work for Script Bible. Passage associations are generated by matching names against the KJV and WEB text we display.
Place coordinates come from OpenBible.info Bible Geocoding Data, licensed CC BY 4.0. Map tiles © OpenStreetMap contributors. Coastlines, lakes, and rivers on the homepage map come from Natural Earth (public domain).
Editorial guides
Book overviews, topic pages, parallel-passage lists, and entity descriptions are written for Script Bible. They may mix textual summary with historical context. They are not peer-reviewed commentaries. Corrections: Contact.
Meaning search
Meaning search uses embeddings of the displayed Bible text to find similar verses. It is not a user-content LLM feature. Queries are not stored as a marketing dataset; see the Privacy Policy.
What is not included
The Library publishes public-domain editions of classic Christian writings and commentaries, each with its own source and rights note. Works whose rights are not yet documented are not published. Credits in the native iOS app, if any, are separate.
