Shovels for Digging Deeper
Apr 26, 2017
These sites will help you dig deeper!
And please share the results or questions from your digging at facebook.com/groups/DBRPdiggingdeeper/.
lumina.bible.org
Lumina.Bible includes these
translations: New English Translation (NET), ESV, HCSB,
International Standard Version, and NASB. This site makes it easy
to view the 60,000 footnotes in the NET. You can see the original
Hebrew and Greek and each word is defined for you, and if you are
viewing the NET, you can see how each word is translated. And don't
miss Thomas Constable's Notes on every book of the Bible! This is a
treasure of 40 years of scholarly research by Thomas L.
Constable, who retired from Dallas Theological Seminary in 2011.
One of the great features of Constable's Notes is that he quotes
for so many other great resources. Register for an ID and the
site will remember your colored highlights, the content of your
tabs, and the notes you make!
My WORDsearch Bible
The main reason I come to this
site is to access the Holman (HCSB) Study Bible, which is
accessed via the Library icon on the left. Researching the meaning
of source language words is easy to do. Register for an ID and the
site will remember your colored highlights, the content of your
tabs, and the notes you make!
biblehub.com
If you click on a blue verse
number at this site, you will get a comparison page that shows that
verse in all of their translations, and then it gives you several
older commentaries. I often find useful information in the Pulpit
Commentary, and not so much in Matthew Henry. In verse comparison
mode, click on the Hebrew or Greek heading and you will see a very
useful interlinear page for the verse. I find this especially
useful for OT Hebrew verses. (The word order is top to bottom,
not right to left!)
BibleWebApp
This site is great for studying
Hebrew or Greek, especially Greek. Also, if you are looking for
other languages, this site has a huge list. (Our TSI Plain
Indonesian is not yet one of them.)
bible.faithlife.com
This site includes the Lexham
English Bible (LEB) and the Faithlife Study
Bible from Logos. The study Bible includes
information from distinguished scholars. They are sometimes not as
conservative as the two study sites that lead this
list.
Another very useful site for researching the original biblical texts: blueletterbible.org
For versions, you can also check out BibleGateway.com.
And for commentaries check out
StudyLight.org.
