Sources & Licenses

title is built on texts and scholarly datasets that their authors have made openly available. Each keeps its own licence; they are listed here with the attribution each one asks for.

Changes: these datasets have been converted into a single database and combined with one another. Where two datasets do not align for a verse, that part is shown as unavailable rather than adjusted. The texts and annotations are not otherwise altered. None of the organisations or people below endorses this tool.

STEP Bible — Translators Brief lexicon of Extended Strong’s

CC BY 4.0TBESG (Greek) and TBESH (Hebrew)

Every dictionary entry shown beneath a tapped word’s Strong’s definition comes from here. Credit to STEP Bible, a charitable incorporated organisation registered in the UK (#1193950). The data was created initially by Tyndale House, Cambridge and is now curated by STEP Bible, released under CC BY 4.0.

The source of the data is the STEPBible-Data repository, and you are referred to it rather than to this copy: github.com/STEPBible/STEPBible-Data

TBESG gives brief definitions for all Greek Bible words using corrected Abbott-Smith where available; TBESH is an abridged BDB. Both are keyed to Extended Strong’s numbers, which cover entries Strong’s own dictionary has no headword for — the Hebrew prefixed prepositions and particles among them.

Changes made to the data, recorded here as the licence asks: the entries are stored as plain text (the source ships them as HTML, and the cross-reference links are flattened to their citation text); Strong’s numbers are stored without the source’s zero padding; and twelve one-word glosses that are corrupt transliterations in the source are not displayed, their full definitions being sound. No definition text is altered.
